On the MacNN boards the phone rumour is the candybar phone will be white... me thinks AppleInsider wanted to generate more vistors by rendering a photoshopped E790

Actually, my last one really sucked, but this T616 I've had for a year and a half now. It still works fine.

I'd get a Treo before I bought an iPod phone, though. I don't want to listen to music on my phone.

If I want to listen to music on my phone, I'll call Dell support...

The best hold music is Speakeasy's. I don't miss a whole lot about them, but the hold music was fantastic. It was like aural prozac.

If it were say..white, instead of green, it might be less of an issue. Infact, if it were white/black instead of black/green, there'd probably be less dislike for it.

How many people thought the G5 looked like a giant cheese grater? What about the Bondi iMac? I seem to remember people saying things like "gumball", "toy computer", and "this will never sell" about all of the above. Personally, I think the pic posted by hkellogg looks wicked cool. The one HappyFrappy posted doesn't look like anything too special, unless in addition to that snow white color, you could get other colors too.

Travel to Japan some time and look at what people there do to their cell phones. There, the more gaudy and outlandish your cell looks, the better. Opinion may be today that the xbox looking model is fugly, but I guarantee it will sell like 10 million units in a week in Japan.

These things are destined to have horrible battery life. The iPod saves power by spinning up the drive for short periods and filling up the ram.

i'm betting it will use the same flash memory for storage like the ipod shuffle, which gets very good battery life and can hold just enough songs to be worth it, maybe they could have 2 batteries in there to avoid the problem altogether? 1 shuffle battery and 1 cell phone battery, which charge at the same time with 1 charger?

The iPod saves power by spinning up the drive for short periods and filling up the ram. This thing has to power the cell phone also. And now your music gets interrupted everytime someone calls you, texts you and everything in between.

I'd rather see a mobile version of itunes that could talk to a bt equipped iPod so if I HAD to have a song on the road on my iPod it could be done that way.

But that would require changes to desktop iTunes that Apple and content owners may frown upon.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13775505 Wed, 29 Jun 2005 17:14:40 EDT Re: The (HAHAHAHHAHA) iTunes phone! http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13775220 hyperjoe : I agree with you bangman.

Scrollwheel could be used when the phone is closed to scroll through contacts as well as songs. Possibly more rounded off corners, as well.
