An article at Bloomberg.com suggests that Motorola's ROKR iTunes phone may be an iFlop.
As many as six times more customers are returning the Rokr phones than is normal for new handsets, according to American Technology Research analyst Albert Lin, who said he talked to distributors, retailers and call center workers at Cingular Wireless LLC, which sells the phone.
"There's an overall disappointment with the product," said Lin.
"Beyond the flash of the iPod name and the newly proud Motorola marketing machine, you'd be hard-pressed to say the Rokr is a good product," said Paul Sagawa, an analyst with Sanford C. Bernstein & Co. in New York.
