    Nice looking but cursed with Nextel service attached to it.

    Guess it will look good while you drop calls often and can't make or receive calls in many areas....

    I think it is not a licensed "Ferrari phone". The details say its a Pininfarina Extra designed phone

    Pininfarina, the Italian design company behind such iconic cars as Ferrari and Maserati, today announced that Motorola, Inc. has selected Pininfarina Extra to design its latest line of iDEN® mobile phones.
    "Pininfarina's consolidated cultural and industrial roots, formed in over 70 years of design activity, and Motorola's 75 years of success in the field of communications, represent an essential point of convergence," said Paolo Pininfarina, chairman and CEO of Pininfarina Extra.

    The first product of the strategic cooperation of this winning team will be a co-branded, limited edition Pininfarina Motorola phone, to be launched later this year.



    Not a joke, they already had Ferrari Nokia's.

    So it will only be available through Nextels service? I didn't see them mention Nextel specifically in the article.

Nextel nees to get soem better phones out soon. I'll look into getting them and keep everyone posted. Maybe I can work out a bulk order and get us all a discount.

    Uh O...looking at the second link it says that they will probably only use them through Boost mobile which is Nextels prepaid service. I We'll have to see but I'll check it out when I get in the office tomorrow.

    Ummm, your diagram is incorrect. The cord connecting the cups need to have that special "break away" feature... where magically the string breaks apart, then after 10 seconds reconnects. Gotta loive those NEXTEL "break away" features!
