Looks like it belongs with Davy Jones' crew from the "Pirates" movies . . . Gross.
I have the same impression.
:-P yuck
Now you can text "Parley" when you seek the captain.
It looks like it needs to be put out of its misery.
Steve, you're ruthless - sic your army of iPhones on this thing and let's end the suffering.
I barfed that up last night...
That's not a N76, that's my wife!
...ahem, I say, that's a 8800 arte
If you go to the read link, you see that they mention this is being done to the 8800 and the N76. They just chose to show the 8800.
Scraping off layers of skin is a feature now?
The real name is Uglydipity

I think they found that in Liberace's colon.
At least no one would steal it from you.
But they'd beat you up for carrying it. And they'd tell everyone to keep an eye out for your ugly phone. I'd rather have it stolen.
You know how folks tell you *not* to Google images of venereal diseases but you do so any way? Well, that phone looks like a combo herpes/gonorrhea disaster!
Herpes? Gonorrhea? Google images? Disobeying adults?
Sounds fun!
"Givori's 'Serendipity' collection is a truly unique product. The use of genuine rare vintage stones, some of which are over eighty years old"
Waste of gems.
Um, is there such a thing as a non-vintage stone?
It's not as if parts of the world suddenly came into being just recently.
God, I hate advertising that assumes people are retards. But if a single person were to buy this, who can blame them...
In other words, ALL ROCKS ARE OLD.
volcanoes produce new igneous rocks
My favorite part is the little dangle thing. It's like they got done gluing all those gems to the phone and then realized they had a few left over and no more room to stick any more on.
you people don´t undestand good taste. i like it
the good news here is that you will be sure that nobody else in the world has a similar phone, for visible reasons
See? This is where Engadget needs the new Slashdot-style tagging system!! Then, I wouldn't even have to comment, because as I scrolled by, I would have seen:
> yes, hellyes, ohgodyes, myeyesmyeyesmyeyes, fugly (tagging beta)
Get on the ball, guys! You need snarky tagging.
"We've never really understood the luxury cellphone market"
basically, you get a normal phone, cover it in this kind of crap, and sell it to rich idiots who apparently like to spend thousands of dollars on useless stuff like this to show off their monies and lack of taste.
On a totally unrelated note, I have a $4.2b gem-coated Saturn I'm bringing to market.
In a word? Oh HELLZ yeah!
> Is the Givori Serendipity the world's ugliest cellphone?
YES!
Don't really want a phone that'll make me look like I had severe "chine acne" as a child.
What the f?
One of those things that should not have been done at all
Who's the idiot that designed this thing
ow, my eyes.
They murdered 8800 Arte.
Wow, it really does look like someone puked on it during production... eww
where can i get one?!?!!?
Didn't I just see this in a Verizon commrcial? One with a father talking to a daughter who tells him his phone is "hot"?
Somewhere, some loser ditzy-heiress/trust-fund-windbag is probably calling all of us "classless masses" because we hate this thing. But lets face it, its a N76 that has indeed had a Bedazzler taken to it. At least no one would ever steal it.
what the fuck?
HULK SMASH
The victorian era just won't fucking die
credit to the person that said BEDAZZLER - LOL!
"Is it the world's ugliest cellphone?"
Uh, yes.
I can't see the phone because of those barnacles all over it; can someone please scrape them off so I can see what everyone's talking about?
This phone makes me want to vomit. Actually, the phone already looks like vomit.
It reminds me of the one episode on adult swims Metalcolypse when they have their own mobile phones made with all kinds of spikes, chains, and other dodads.
But this one here, is much fuglier.
looks like something from the end of akira
MY EYES
THE GOGGLES, ZEY DO NOTHING
Girls in Japan have been customizing their phones (and ipods) using glue and stones like that for a while now. I suspect that's where their great idea came from.
Come get your Deco everybody:

Looks like it's time for an "Ugliest Phone" competition (or poll).
You missed the whole point
They designed these phones for ladies and ladies only (unless your gay) and i've noticed that there are guys who critisized the phone when it isnt targeted to you
Gems stones are popular on phones right now and obviously this company wanted to do something unique with the idea by adding bits and pieces of gold and dangles
I see these phones as more likly as jewelry than phones, in which you use them on special occations
ohmigosh, like I'm as blonde as they come and even I don't want any of my boyfriends to give me this! the only special occasion I'd use it for, is like, to call the noob who gave it to me and break up with him !
Gaud...that is just bloody ugly. I am of the right gender market, but that is just an example of way too much money and not one whit of sense!!!
