The new iTunes compatible E1060 model phone, which the company said is aimed at music aficionados, allows users to download and carry a limited number of songs in the iTunes format.

Apple's iTunes music software has become increasingly popular thanks to meteoric sales of the computer maker's iPod, the world's leading portable music player.

But Motorola does not have an exclusive deal with Apple.
"We're committed to have iTunes as the default music client, but we'll also continue to support other music players such as RealPlayer (from RealNetworks)," Amer Husaini, vice president for Motorola's mobile devices group in Europe, the Middle East, Africa and South Asia, said at 3GSM in Cannes, the world's biggest mobile trade show.

More RAZR-like models The company also announced that its popular RAZR ultra-thin flip phone, which was launched last year, will be joined by three more high-tech models based on the popular model.

"We finally discovered the right direction (with the RAZR)," said Husaini.

Under new Chief Executive Ed Zander, Motorola turned around its handset operations last year. The company's global market share jumped to 15.3 percent from 14.5 percent, and profits more than tripled on the popularity of its new models

In the new RAZR-based line-up, the black RAZR, nicknamed the BLZR, will be available by the end of this month.

The SLVR, which is not a flip-phone, will come out in the third quarter. Motorola is hoping to revive sales on monoblock phones, which have lost ground to clamshell designs.

Also in the third quarter, Motorola will introduce a round RAZR-like phone dubbed the PEBL.
