Motorola iTunes phone revealed?

Exclusive — The image seen below is believed to be an official mock or prototype image of a Motorola-based Apple compatible phone, and quite possibly the much anticipated iTunes phone expected for release some time in the next several days.

It's unclear if the image is an accurate representation of the iTunes phone as it will be released from Motorola, but reliable sources have been able to confirm the largely-unedited image as originating from Motorola company documents dated June, 2005.

I dunno, looks a little strange. It looks like it should be attached to an X-Box or something.

An iTunes visualizer on a screen that small? Why would anyone even want to watch that? Unless it's just for the official product shots.

Ugly either way. Green on black; was there no other combination that the marketing department felt people might like...ya know...more than that? Hmm? Hmmm?

I don't buy it. A black phone to accompany software that was made famous by white iPod and white earbuds?

Ummmm, okay. That is just plain nasty looking. What's with the clickwheel in the middle of the keypad? I guess it's okay if you don't have to use the three middle numbers to call someone.

I'm sure the green color can be changed if that is the actual phone.. just as normal phones have the ability to change display colors.. (at least my Motorola does).

Also wasn't it reported elsewhere that it was going to be white like the original iPods? Not black? So maybe if this is the real phone its offered in several different colors like the mini? Eitherway the design seems cool and very original.. it needed something to set it apart from other "normal" phones.

But then again.. its probably someone playing a joke.. it really doesn't look like an Apple product, and from all things indicated, its just a simple Moto phone with iTunes software.
My bet is this is fake

Edit: Almost looks like the black is some kind of case if you look close.. like maybe the whole phone is green. (which would be even uglier)
