First Picture of new Motorola iTunes Phone?
swissfondue writes "macprime.ch. is reporting a link to a pdf presentation by Motorola's North Asia manager Michael Tatelman, VP and GM Mobile devices, made on 21 June 2005 to analysts of Morgan Stanley in Beijing.
Page 15 of the presentation shows a picture of a yet unknown Motorola phone playing iTunes visualizer, with the usual Apple logo.
The silhouette of the phone is not in RAZR style, but in PEBL. It seems to also be featuring a scroll wheel."
Engadget reported the same thing yesterday with a pic and it's even in English.

"Candy bar" refers to a non-folding phone design.

And Verizon locks out your memory card (ala V710), preventing you from transferring custom ringtones from your PC to encourage you to send them via their network as an attachment... gaining them 25 cents a pop.

This comes up on every bloody time. Why? So you don't want it, I like my VNC client and pictures of my 'ickle sis.
Most phone makers to a "basic" phone (i've no idea how you think of Voice dialing as basic? and voice mail is normally done "serverside").
However as every monthly offer normally throws in a free phone better than the basic models. So just don't use what you don't like on the free phone.
Or if its a PAYG, go with the ~£25 Nokia 1100.
Wow, I should not post when knackered.
"Candy Bar" is the term used in the industry for phones which don't fold or bend or twist or anything else, like most Nokias.

Look closely though at the two handsets and they are both a very similar layout, apart from the "rotator blob" on the new picture which seems to clash with the keypad.
The "E790" pictured is basically the E390/E398 platform that has been remixed onto several different handsets already.

Sorry about the flash. This phone has no digits, only a scroll wheel. $600.

We had to move it due to missing akamai :)
notice the difference? PEBL looks more like a traditional phone than the RAZR StarTREK communicator .but. PEBL is without any signposts from the past.
No buttons, no dials... PEBL isn't built on the communicator paradigm. US Supreme Court ruled yesterday that the Internet is not a "communications carrier" subject to FCC regs but instead an "information carrier".
PEBL looks like it skirts the babyBells battle for button pushers, entirely. PEBL will be defined by its software functions and information *abilities* in the vein of RIM's Blackberry. Like Blackberry it will also have a phone but not nearly the quality or functionality of phone as offered by the mainstream Bells.
Here's the mirrordot copy of the PDF, which has since dissapeared from the official site.
