More on Itunes-Motorola Phone: Just 25 Songs?

The invite here. Also, more confirmation from eWeek…Motorola’s upcoming E790 iTunes phone sounds like an iPod Shuffle and looks like a shiny white version of Motorola’s E398 phone. Like the E398, the E790 has stereo speakers and a port for a mini headset.
The only difference is that the E398 has a single menu button, and (the E790) has an additional button that is dedicated to iTunes
Forbes.com: According to the source in this story, the phone the source saw was designed to accommodate just 25 songs, which would be “sideloaded” from a user’s computer using iTunes. The phone was equipped with a 128-megabyte Sandisk TransFlash memory card–just one-quarter the capacity of the smallest iPod, the 512-megabyte shuffle, which holds about 120 songs.
It seems there’s a firmware lock: the phone’s software appears to artificially cap song storage at 25 songs, regardless of how much memory the phone has.
