Motorola tries for a hole in one, but hooks it into the weeds.

It looks like I'm not going to be getting a new cellphone after all. What a huge dissapointment. The phone it's based off is a year old model, the bluetooth is crippled, the camera is low quality, it only supports 100 songs, it's not even a 3G phone, and godamnit the thing looks like butt. They expect people to pay $250 with a 2 year contract for that thing? No wonder Steve Jobs gave it such a lack-luster endorsement. Apple's saving grace on this is that they seem to have done everything they could NOT to associate themselves with this lemon. The only involvement they had was getting iTunes to run on the damned thing. I'm holding off until Apple designs a phone themselves. One that doesn't look like it's 5 years old.
