Verizon's Pantech PN-820 Smartphone, man is it ugly!

It looks like Verizon has officially launched the PN-820 Windows Mobile Smartphone and boy is it an ugly duckling. I know they are probably targeting it for the average consumer but does the average consumer even know what Windows Mobile is? Looking at Verizon's site they are listing it as a "Music Player" so that may help sales. The price, $249.99 with a 2 year contract (they are also currently offering a $100.00 online discount) seems a little steep for a basic consumer phone. It does sport EVDO and A2DP.

If you need a Windows Mobile flip and can do without the EVDO service I would recommend the Cingular 3125, it looks more hip :)

As long as it isn't hideous I will take functionality over looks any day. You can get a minisd wifi card for around 40 dollars and have internet access without a data plan. You can also get a minisd gps receiver and download google maps onto your phone and have gps. Fuck the 3125 or the battlephonegalactica.
