Rugged, fine. But does it have to look like a shiny, bulbous, blue tumor?

so...did you say massive optics? then that little turd of a lens is just to throw me off, right?

ugly? why is everyone hating on it? i happen to think it's pretty nice looking (from the front at least) - nice clean lines, comfortable-looking grip... it's simple, it's straightforward, and for the price i think it'll be a nice seller.

Soo... this is basically an Olympus Stylus SW / Tough series with a whole lot of ugly thrown in?

love my BJII. it was only $80, and with winmo 6.0 it's an excellent and user-friendly little device. more than enough for what i need. i fiddle around with my friends' iphones from time to time, and while they're quite nice, all i really need in a phone is one that makes calls and is convenient to write messages on - both things that this phone does spectacularly well. even the email features are excellent; this phone has become my primary email device.

for the price, i'd say this phone is HIGHLY recommended. it's a winner in my book.
