Cingular Launches New iTunes Phone: Slvr

By

Cingular Wireless, the No. 1 U.S. mobile provider, has started offering its customers the Slvr, an ultra-thin phone from Motorola Inc. loaded with the popular iTunes music-playing software from Apple Computer Inc., the companies said on Tuesday.

The Slvr takes its cue from Motorola’s hit-selling Razr cell phone, and is the company’s second take on a device that includes Apple’s music software. Cingular is charging customers who sign up for a two-year contract $199.99 for the phone. The Slvr currently works only on networks based on GSM, the world’s most popular cell phone technology standard, which is used by Cingular and European and Asian operators.
