Guest redbluff Posted January 20, 2006 Report Posted January 20, 2006 Moto Q cancelled January 20, 2006 [MS Smartphone] After Motorola MPx100 MS Smartphone, Motorola MPx Pocket PC phone, now also Motorola Q: ... has been cancelled. Motorola has been advertising Moto Q smartphone with phrase "11.5 mm - the thinnest QWERTY phone available to-date", but clearly the word "available" was an exaggeration. Apparently Motorola France informed that launch of Moto Q was cancelled in Europe. Moto Q may be launched still in USA but despite the fact, that previously Verizon-branded images of Moto Q leaked, Moto Q was not launched at CES 2006 and it looks like Motorola has problems to find mobile operator in USA also for CDMA version of Moto Q. It looks also that Motorola's alliance with Apple corporation is wobbly: Motorola ROKR E2 has no iTunes at all and new Motorola RAZR V3x is sold without iTunes, despite initial announcements that it will have iTunes on board. So also hopes that we will see, thanks to Motorola, a Windows Mobile phones with iTunes on board - are also gone... Nothing is certain yet and we are rather in rumor phase, but it looks like Motorola has not found mobile operators willing to sponsor launch of Moto Q. Particularly: Verizon Wireless is selling now the fantastic Windows Mobile Treo and introducing Moto Q could probably confuse consumers and finally Verizon decided not to sell Moto Q.

Take your itunes AAC files, rename them to mp4 and WMP (or tweak the registry to associate AAC with WMP10) and you should be able to play... What's the big deal with ITUNES and ROKR phones then since my 2125 (HTC Faraday) plays ITUNES file out of 1GB miniSD with no problem?
