10 Ugliest Phones Ever Made — Brace Yourselves, People! by bmdmixer: 12:13pm On Jun 07, 2020
Phone makers took a lot of design risks back in the day to make their phones stand out from the crowd. A lot of them failed miserably, producing handsets that are ugly beyond belief.

Some didn’t look like phones at all, resembling things like powder cases and AC remote controls — check them out for yourself below.

Siemens Xelibri 6
This ugly thing was announced in 2003 and targeted at women. It looks like a powder case and sports two mirrors for adjusting your makeup while on the go. The keys were weirdly arranged on the sides — making texting a pain — and the screen was way to small. It was available in two colors: sheer bronze (brown and silver) and platinum blush (pink and silver).

Motorola StarTac Rainbow

The Motorola StarTac Rainbow looks like something you’d get for free in a cereal box. It has a toy-like design featuring way too many lively colors and an uneven surface up front that’s horrible to look at.

The ugliness is toned down a bit when you flip open the device, but not by much. The combination of yellow and dark green is far from fabulous and gives the device a very cheap look.

Toshiba G450

This looks more an air conditioner remote control than a phone.

The design incorporated three circles — the top one housed a screen and the bottom two featured number pads.

Not only does this make the Toshiba G450 ugly, it also makes it extremely hard to use. Just imagine how difficult texting on this device would be.

F88 wrist phone

Are words even necessary? I mean, just look at this thing. It’s ugly as hell. It’s a phone you wear on your wrist, with a number pad integrated into the strap and a display that sticks out from the side.

There’s also an antenna on top that adds to the overall ugliness of the phone. CEC Corp initially made it exclusively for one of the most famous Chinese ping-pong players, but later started selling it to everyday consumers as well

They were not really ugly given the technology at that time. Remembered how Blackberry was beautiful back then, I bet if you look at it now you'll tell how it looked like scientific calculator and term it ugly. Time changes a lot of things.
