The phone might sell well, but it won't be because of iTunes and that arbitrary limit everyone loves to hate - it will be because it is really well designed.]]>Jan 26th 2006 2:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/cingular-slvr-promo-surfaces/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/cingular-slvr-promo-surfaces/Jan 26th 2006 2:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/cingular-slvr-promo-surfaces/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/cingular-slvr-promo-surfaces/Jan 26th 2006 2:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/cingular-slvr-promo-surfaces/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/cingular-slvr-promo-surfaces/Jan 26th 2006 2:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/cingular-slvr-promo-surfaces/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/cingular-slvr-promo-surfaces/Jan 26th 2006 2:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/cingular-slvr-promo-surfaces/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/cingular-slvr-promo-surfaces/Jan 26th 2006 2:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/cingular-slvr-promo-surfaces/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/cingular-slvr-promo-surfaces/
Haven't tested the 100 song limit... since I dont really use the phone as an ipod-esque device.

as per usual, long smooth screen face shows every bit of human/ear/face goodness after each call. Yum. Great speakerphone quality and all the usual deets as per RAZR. Battery time seems ok so far...

only real problem so far is the button that holds the back on (for battery and SIM access). I have had to re attach it (first time epoxy, second time Krazyglue). Poor design, but functioally phone works fine without it.

Justin, give me a break -- the average Joe doesn't give two sh--s about the 100 song cap. Only techie dorks who post on Engadget would care about that. People didn't reject the ROKR 'cause of the cap -- they rejected that phone because it was fugly (and it was a moderate success anyway.)

First off, there aren't any transflash cards over 512 mbs yet anyway I don't think, and if there are average Joe doesn't know where to get one, etc. Second, most people don't even know about the 100 song limit and assume that it is just like how the Shuffle "has 120 songs." They have no idea the thing is expandable.

Justin, you remind me of the ultimate techie dork who is under the illusion that everyone is as knowledgeable as the average engadget reader. Guess what? They're not.]]>Jan 26th 2006 3:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/cingular-slvr-promo-surfaces/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/cingular-slvr-promo-surfaces/
mine doesn't have itunes - it has a motorola branded java player and also their built in "sounds" interface; neither have the 100 song limit. Sound quality is great and ringer is loud as anything (on 7). The transflash is sweet; waiting for the 1gb transflash to retail.

anyword on whether cingular will supporot PTT with it? or whether it works with 3G?]]>Jan 26th 2006 3:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/cingular-slvr-promo-surfaces/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/cingular-slvr-promo-surfaces/Jan 26th 2006 3:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/cingular-slvr-promo-surfaces/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/cingular-slvr-promo-surfaces/Jan 26th 2006 3:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/cingular-slvr-promo-surfaces/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/cingular-slvr-promo-surfaces/
I'd look quite firable holding my phone to my ear all day at work, so, playing 100 songs seems impractical to begin with.

When would you listen to them, really?]]>Jan 26th 2006 3:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/cingular-slvr-promo-surfaces/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/cingular-slvr-promo-surfaces/Jan 26th 2006 3:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/cingular-slvr-promo-surfaces/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/cingular-slvr-promo-surfaces/Jan 26th 2006 4:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/cingular-slvr-promo-surfaces/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/cingular-slvr-promo-surfaces/Jan 26th 2006 4:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/cingular-slvr-promo-surfaces/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/cingular-slvr-promo-surfaces/Jan 26th 2006 4:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/cingular-slvr-promo-surfaces/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/cingular-slvr-promo-surfaces/Jan 26th 2006 4:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/cingular-slvr-promo-surfaces/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/cingular-slvr-promo-surfaces/
unless that got updated. After a few months of use that is plenty. fun to flash it on the subway (nyc)... since all the geekoids stare. great phone, but really only a different version of the RAZR (plust the itunes component). just a phone peeps... and frankly without a touch screen or keyboard, the uses dwindle.

oh -- and camera is for shizzle too: VGA. c'mon, moto. VGA?

WTF? you give me a phone with upgradeable memory - but the best I can do is micro-sized video and VGA pix? welcome to 2003.]]>Jan 26th 2006 5:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/cingular-slvr-promo-surfaces/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/cingular-slvr-promo-surfaces/Jan 26th 2006 5:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/cingular-slvr-promo-surfaces/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/cingular-slvr-promo-surfaces/Jan 26th 2006 5:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/cingular-slvr-promo-surfaces/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/cingular-slvr-promo-surfaces/Jan 26th 2006 6:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/cingular-slvr-promo-surfaces/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/cingular-slvr-promo-surfaces/Jan 26th 2006 6:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/cingular-slvr-promo-surfaces/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/cingular-slvr-promo-surfaces/yes]]>Jan 26th 2006 6:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/cingular-slvr-promo-surfaces/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/cingular-slvr-promo-surfaces/Jan 26th 2006 7:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/cingular-slvr-promo-surfaces/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/cingular-slvr-promo-surfaces/Jan 26th 2006 8:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/cingular-slvr-promo-surfaces/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/cingular-slvr-promo-surfaces/Jan 26th 2006 11:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/cingular-slvr-promo-surfaces/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/cingular-slvr-promo-surfaces/Jan 27th 2006 12:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/cingular-slvr-promo-surfaces/http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/26/cingular-slvr-promo-surfaces/
