MOT: Zndr s a Rkr
First the Rzr, then Slvr, Q, finally Rkr. Did Zander put a thirteen year old IM-crazy girl in charge of product naming? Good move.
If he can deliver my next phone will be a Slvr.
Read the interview on BznzWk:
Q: Your rivals like Samsung, Nokia (NOK ) and others can react fast, and are already introducing copies of the Razr. How do you keep your design edge?
A: Just as these guys are getting the fact that thin is in, we're going to take thin to the next level and hit them over the head with Slvr [a sleek device shaped like a Hershey bar, due later this year]. Candy bar-shaped phones are still very popular. Slvr is going to take the fat out of those phones and introduce [the] low-carb candy-bar phone.
Q: What about the iTunes phone? Is that going to be released soon?
A: We have music phones shipping in Brazil and Europe [part of Motorola's Rokr line of phones]. Apple will be featured soon and [the iTunes phone] will happen this quarter.
