Looks like an ugly Samsung Epix. What’s the problem it’s solving?

No dude you’re wrong that bezel has got to go. It’s like they couldn’t afford a larger screen half way through production and said. Fuck it, lets put a bezel around it and shove it out the door. Some stupid Gweilo will buy it.

My iphone is acting up again and looks like I’m going to have to replace it for the 3rd time, I’m probably going to order this. It may not be the best looking, but I like whats underneath

Bleah… MotoQ with less style… yes, I know, that doesn’t seem possible, but there it is.

If they fixed the screen size this would be a great cheap Android phone.

WOW the renders looked good, kinda looked like a sexed up Blackjack with a decent operating system but now it’s .. yeah whoa what happened? Looks like an awful chinese knockoff of a Blackjack…

Hmm, the comment system is still fubared. My remark was towards aveboogie and the Tiger Direct catalog…

LOL! That’s exactly what I was thinking.

Honestly, for $285 *UNSUBSIDIZED*, I can overlook some ugliness for some pretty good under-the-hood specs and Android.

It’s an ugly HP Business Messenger. This is the type of phone only sold in the back of Tiger direct catalogs.

That bezel is ass….Seriously, why not dedicate that space to the screen?

It seems the Moto Q9 + T-Mobile Dash mated with the G1?!

Damn, that thing is even fuglier than Moto would make it…

I have to say, it looked a lot better in the renders… and that bezel!

Still, $212 for an unsubsidized Android phone isn’t bad at all.

What an ugly design. Put a bigger screen on that bitch, it’s not like there isn’t ugly Wasted space itching for it.
