Ugly, like most other slim phones out there. When the day comes where slim phones can be slim without being horribly over long, then and only then will I like them. But still, looks and design wise this phone has nothing against some of the other slim phones out there.

Yes, the only warm and fuzzy feeling I get from this phone is the Radiation leaking from it into my arm.

Instead of picking up a phone and feeling happy and fuzzy inside, you pick up this one and feel cold and empty inside like somethings missing.
