There's this one phone in particular made by Alcatel, and it's REALLY ugly. Trying to find a pic of it, but at the moment Gsmarena doesn't seem to be working. (I found it at Gsmarena).

[radioboy]

about a year ago, every other phone that nokia came out with was a bit ... busy in terms of design. especially the weird keypads. they're tamer and a bit more understated now.

[Sutitan]

7260 :p

Well I was wrong. The ugly phone I was thinking about wasn't made by Alcatel, but by a company called Telit. http://www.daitelecom.net/gallery/hres/g80_5.jpg

[shaheen]

Nokia 6630, Nokia 6810, Nokia 6230 (I prefer the 6220 design)

[tedwardo]

P.S. You can actually turn the back part away and use it as a candybar u know? Maybe you mixed up its form factor as X Factor?? hehehe :D

Looks very much like it might be a slightly re-engineered Sendo. The Sendo S330 (http://www.sendo.com/ourphones/details.asp?ID=13 )- is truly ugly.

Or the absolutely hideous Motorola A920 (http://www.gsmarena.com/index.php3?sRedir=http://www.gsmarena.com/motorola_a920-517.php)

Ha... 6230 looks way better than 7610, 7610 reminds me of a boomerang thats been dipped in a blackforest cake!

[nk_au]

Whatever you say. Just keep your opinions to yourself, and don't cross the line.

I used a 6220 and 6230. I found the keypad to be like some kind of "hover-pad". It's not rigid.

I'd prefer a propelled keypad :cool:

[Shizzle]

You want a war? I'll give you one :mad:
Bring it on bitch :p

[nk_au]

Bring it on bitch :p

I understand that certain people dislike the 7610, but I find it rude how they emphasize their opinions too much.

They've gone too far and crossed the line. :mad:

Opinions are the to be EXPRESSED LOL :rolleyes:

I agree that the menu button which is in the middle of a 6230 is messed up, I often click up or down before hitting the center!

Apart from that IMO 6230 has better colour schemes (silver, as opposed to black and red), not bulky looking and the keys are located where you expect them to be unlike on 7610.
The only thing which 7610 has over 6230 is the MP cam and Symbian sys which I dont really care much for. :D

Ha... 6230 looks way better than 7610, 7610 reminds me of a boomerang thats been dipped in a blackforest cake!

Nokia 7610 was designed boldly and with that very original Nokia uncomprehensive designing styles. 6230 looked more like a mimick product from Nokia seeing the success of the T610 which brings out a blocky shape out from a curvy bimbo laden market created by silvery samsungs.... even the form factor they choose to bombard on is of the same kind. Total copycat, total messed up total bla bla bla product.

P.S. Yupe i do bring up it's tiny flaws. So wat? Only engineering, programming, accountants, system engineeers and doctors would like 6230's design. :D --- boring nerds....

On the other hand. Artists, Painters, Fashion Designers, Art Directors, early adopters will definitely adore the 7610. :D --- oh ya, and of course, mobile reviewers... hehehe

Technically pretty much everyone on here is a nerd so... ;) On the other hand artists can have the wierdest/ugliest designs...but for what its worth IMO 6230 is nicer.

And you are right about 6230 looking like SE phone!

[rohan123]

ugliest phone according to me would be the nokia 7260

[commedecargons]

hehe wait till nokia came out with a new phone then 7260 won't be the ugliest..hehehe

[shaheen]

the 7610 is better looking and better build quality then the 6230 and i can safely say that as ive had both before. the 6230 is so plain, when other people see it they just think its another old phone but the 7610 has a new design, trendier as well. catches wandering eyes easily.

[rohan123]

hehe wait till nokia came out with a new phone then 7260 won't be the ugliest..hehehe

thats true.
first it was the 6630 which was ugly, but then 7260 is uglier. can nokia make a more uglier phones

While I agree to some extent about the design, 6230 has a stereo mp3 player while 7610 doesnt... seriously thats the best feature of the phone apart from 7610's 1mp cam... but I dont care about the cams on mobiles by having a Canon IXUS 4MP camera.

[shaheen]

well im just saying the 6230 is bad cause of its design, not its features. anyway about the features, i never used the mp3 player anyway.

[Shizzle]

The major flaw in 6230 IMO is that silly middle button, i hate it! Also it was a pain in the ass to remove the cover at first, then I found out how.

Why didnt you use the mp3 player? You have Sharp GX32 now yeah? How come? Isnt it like ****ty with blue tooth and also limited cos of that vodafone software?

[cdover]

[shaheen]

lol, customisations on phones are becoming rather popular, search ebay for baby phat and you will get tons of this certain kind of north american phone. funky man, very funky.

lol, i know i suck;) im still thinking about doing that review of it. i might do a double review, my gx32 and my player.

[cdover]

Yea, and if you do a review of the EECS thingymajig, then it'd pretty much be the only review of that unit on the net! (Well I think so...I can't find anything on it...)

Oops, sorry commedecargons :D.

[shaheen]

EECS thingymajig?...lol wat the?! tis called a joycoder PV330:p. and yea, i couldnt find any good reviews anywhere either. can u believe it costs 600US in USA?.. my god, if thats true i just saved alot alot of money. i dont think i can post pics of my gx32 though. need a mirror:p. a digi cam should also be added to the "to buy" list.. daaaamn this list is getting tooo long.

these are not just mere customizations... it's the people who carries them makes the whole package that ugly..... i dunno how to describe it but..... yeah it is ugly.

[theninthcloud]

I always though the Nokia 3200 was impossibly ugly, with its shiny plastic buttons (plus having one each button be bi-directional?? ugh) and that cheesy "make your own faceplate" design. It reminded me of those ugly plastic mugs where you could slide in your own drawings. :)

And in defense of those other newer "odd" looking phone from nokia...I always thought they were kinda cool by trying to throw in a little artsy design ( granted, it's not always the best idea ).

the newer 7 series, YES they're cool. the 3220? Nokia CONners at the work. Stupid phone, stupid design... and what~!? WAVE messaging? yeah right~... :confused:

[edeab220]

Ugliest phone I've ever seen...the Sharp TM-150. Want to see it? No, you don't :p.

[Dynamoo]

Well since this thread started, we've had the Nokia 7260.. that is one *UGLY* phone. :)

[mustafabay]

Nokia-5100, 3650,7200,6170,3200,7600,and a few more for me I should have a list of the ones I like "shorter list"
Seimens-SF65,CFX65,MC60,Xelibri 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,U10,M55
Samsung-P730,X900 the ugliest, every clamshell with an antenna
Motorola-Cxxx except C975 I think,A820 the 'real brick'
SE- T300,T310
by the way what's wrong with the P910 like a brick, fine, anyone with that comment know of a foldable screen so we can un brick it.
Alcatel-they aren't that bad but not that great,all of them, after all they all are similar.
Telit- they really deserve some kind of award for the G80.

[shaheen]

i like the P730 and X900..yea ure right the antenna sux big time but i like the phone overall...

[commedecargons]

by the way what's wrong with the P910 like a brick, fine, anyone with that comment know of a foldable screen so we can un brick it.

Actually anyone who condemmed P900's size were ALL idiots. Really, i'm not biased or whatever, they are truly, exceptionally, idiots.
Let me elaborate, i dun come fxxk and went off. (Responsible guy, which fxxk and take care of the mess)

What's the major drawback of a PDA phone?
1. Touch screen to dial a number - couldn't do blind dialing,
2. SMSing - Taking out ur stylus for: " hi, how are you?" ?? !! Leave the stylus for emails or word processing !

P900's form factor is a major evolution, that keypad which covers half of the screen is the cleverest part, alot of manufacturers are now mimicking that form factor.

Think XDA II's size, ease of one handed usage and input methods
Think of Treo 600's weight, qwerty that was mixed with a numberpad, making it uneasy to dial a number. And think of Treo 600's compromised screen size

It is the cleverest form factor. Dun try to condemmed my post with the SE fanboy thingy, YOU dun stand a chance for P900's form factor argue; any product that adopts this form factor is complimented, i.e. Asus, Anextek.... I've played with many PDA phones, since monochrome ones, and by far the form factor adopted by P series (or invented) is the cleverest ones.

[Ghibli]

I think the 7260 looks quite nice, but the Nokia 7270 is absolutely hideous; trying to add class with those awful textile covers but doing the exact opposite.

SE's K700 is not much to look at either. A really messy design that tries to look sophisticated but fails miserably.

But the ultimate ugly phone has to be the Nokia 3220. Anyone who buys that bulging monster masquerading as a mobile phone either has bad taste or no taste at all.

Or has a budget. Which is whom it's really targetted too. However, I do agree, it looks bleh.

Yup. But the only thing I don't really like is the small stylus. (I was okay with it, though it was fine, until I tried other stylus' on other PDAs etc. and now it's hard to use... :S).

ok, now i really know whats "Personal Opinion"

1. I do think the Siemens on ur Avatar looks extremely ugly
2. 7260 is this thread's starter and u did note it's nice looking
3. 7270 is agreed by many looks quite good given the design concept is base on 7200
4. K700 ugly? hhmm..... i dun think many will agree with that.

3220 UGLY? YESSSS (at least we have something in common) hehe

P.S. hey, hope not offending k? cheers! ;)

[mustafabay]

I think of myself as a BIG SE fan,but every time I try to hate the 3220 for its looks I just can't do it and is it really that big? I would think its no bigger than the 3200 but I could be wrong.

[commedecargons]

it's not THAT big but the curvy thing won't really sell i guess. i quite like the keypad thou... overall; i won't buy it even if i'm 12 years old or that i'm a sailor......

[Ghibli]

7270 is agreed by many looks quite good given the design concept is base on 7200

I suppose it looks OK compared to the 7200, but then again most phones look good next to the 7200.;) I still think it looks really tacky, like a 6170 in a '60s party dress. :rolleyes:

Of course, those are all my opinions, which is why I said "I think...";)

[zalameh1]

damn.... Beauty is DEFINATELY in the eye of the beholder!!!!

[commedecargons]

7260 (Thread starter of this thread topic) has a successor. I remember i once said 6630 looks like a 3660 head on collision into 6600.... seems like they crashed 7610 into the mess too....

[Ghibli]

I think Nokia is trying to forge a stronger brand identity through its design. We should expect more Nokias sporting that..er...interesting shape. :)
But although it works well for the 7260, it goes somewhat awkwardly with the rest of the 6670's restrained design.

[commedecargons]

my point is: u want it curvy, stay curvy; u wanna attract business users, not only do the keypad matters.....

[turbosound]

Ugliest phone ever: Ericsson R310. The rubber brick that won't fit in your pocket with 'shark fin'.

The antennae be useful though if you need to dig a hole in the garden.

-shivers-

i had a baad time at camp with a guy with that phone. the #$#@$$$ would turn on his stupid STUPID! popeye ringtone sound alarm at 5am....5AM!!!!!!!! and he wouldnt wake up and turn it off because he wanted us to wake up as well (it was a cabin of 4) omg...... the worse was on the 2nd day, the ar$3#ole did the same thing, only he left the cabin and let the darn phne ring while we tried to sleep!!!!!!!!.....then we threw him in the lake and flung his phone into the forest, bugga actually found the phone!....

bad bad times..

BURN THAT PHONE!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Dynamoo]

Yup, the 6670 is one ugly phone. At least the 7610 had some sort of artistic integrity :)

He're some more ugly recent announcements - Sony Ericsson V800, RIM Blackberry 7100t, Nokia 7260, Sharp GX25, Samsung X610. Urrgh.

[Ghibli]

The SE V800 looks okay...quite elegant, something unexpected from SonyEricsson.

[bart]

ugly well i my vote goes to the 7610. before that one is was the panasonic G70

[cdover]

Issit? Obviously just your opinion but I really like the look of the 7610. Not too sure about the 6630 though :).

[commedecargons]

common cdover, bart couldn't accept the newer SE designs as well, he likes those old ericsson looks... hehe really couldn't force him to accept the 7610 thou.... maybe he'll think that the 6630 is better lookin..... yikes~
IMO 7610 is one of the best designed phones, very bold, nice BUT i really don't wish to 'ON' it. 7610 deserves a better better looking interface than Series 60; they just don't match.

Don't u guys agree? Series 60 had such ugly interfaces, ugly icons. The whole thing makes u felt like u're in some kind of 'File Explorer' thingy..... And same thing with series40 nokias which mimicks the 9 or 12 icon interface. I like Nokia's simple filmstrip OS's designs better (although they won't work as good as a 9 or 12 icon interface.)

[cdover]

common cdover, bart couldn't accept the newer SE designs as well, he likes those old ericsson looks... hehe really couldn't force him to accept the 7610 thou....

Haha, 'twasnt trying to force him :D, just, er, hinting. Um yeah. Actually I have to agree a bit with the series 60 interface can be a little bit boring, however now with the themes and stuff you can change icons and stuff so yeah... :)

[commedecargons]

weird time to see u replying dude.... not schooling? or on the way and ur using some sort of weird thing to get online?

P.S. dun tell me ur replying with P900~~ :p

Lol this thing comes in close with the startac :D

[commedecargons]

Regarding the R310, i usually dun critic on all-weather-all-proof phones... they're made to last, not to please the eyes.... those that were made to please the eye but end up doing the other wa round deserves a place in this thread. i.e. the Siemens CF62 eeeww~~~~ :eek:

[commedecargons]

new entry....

[Ghibli]

Oh the Siemens CX70 Emoty is pretty ugly too.

[shaheen]

i reckon japanese phones are the best looking in the world. theyre so lucky

[commedecargons]

but i think if we happen to hav them selling in our market, maybe no one tend to dare buying them~~

[Ruler_70]

Bring on the NTT docomo phones, ill buy em all :D

[commedecargons]

Then.... i might advice u move to Japan....... :D
