10 peculiar, weird, and plain ugly cell phones
Over the years, we've had the pleasure to check out a great deal of well-designed, feature-rich phones: the Samsung Galaxy S III, the iPhone 4S, the Motorola DROID RAZR, to name a few. However, every once in a while, some company decides to make a phone that is different, either in terms of looks or functionality, or both. Most of these, how should we call them, experiments, do not end up well, as you are about to see.

We have selected 10 weird, unattractive cell phones, almost all of which were actually on the market. Yes, people did buy them, despite their unorthodox appearance. Just flick through the slideshow below and check them out. As usual, leave us a line in the comments should you think we've missed a handset that could have been on the list.

Talking about weird phones, TELE2 sell this phone in my country, it is called "BearPhone":

It is real phone just for kids, few main buttons: one to answer, one to drop call, one to call for mommy, one to call for daddy, one to call for grandfather or grandmother and one for a friend (there is more buttons).

Here is how it looks and other info: http://goo.gl/dqDSG

Also wisit web page to see how it look (p.s. nice sound track):

I just HATE when someone attacs BOXY design as not pretty.
To me it is the design that I want. I especialy like NXT Xperia seias for that, many other nokia and SE phones.
I just HATe rounded angles because I don't want my phone looks like SOAP or d.i.c.k... or something..

Oh.. then i am afraid you hate the samsung galaxy S3, and the HTC One X...

Dude, wake up! rounded edged phones don't look like a dddddiiicccckkkk or a soap.. they look sophisticated. Modern. Futuristic. 21st CENTURY.

Your boxed out phone is so impractical. Its sharp in its edges. and also, difficult to put it into your pocket. Boxy phones..... also looked cheap, very heavy and very fat. Change your mindset, man... your mind is stuck in the 90's.. with all those brick phones.......

Sorry, I don't know, I didn't find current cost on the internet, need to go to TELE2 shop, but as I remember it should be about 30 - 50 USD (without any contract).

oh god they really treat kids like idiots
Kids are quick learners
My cousins are playing with their parent's smartphones and tabs ! The youngest one is like 5
although they are controlled to not to play to long
and if are educated to not to throw or drop the phone and treat the phone carefully if not they get some beatings (asian culture)

Intelligence level: zero. I don't recall this article having anything to do with iPhones. Go mindlessly bash on one of the articles about the 5.

Nokia 7280 should top this list...in terms of horrible and impractical design.

I'm not even sure what to say about that Elfoid. If that's for real, the fact that something like that has reached even the conceptual stage is just ridiculous.
