The phone (motorola CLIQ - see link below) is not very pretty to look at so I guess, it makes sense to preempt or extinguish any expectations of it looking like the iPhone or the Palm Pre. 'brains' before beauty. To really understand the appeal...go to the 3rd link and read the first comment.

Who the heck do you think this video is for? Gears of War and Halo fans? People that enjoyed District 9? Hard core developers? Because, it had zero appeal to my "feminine" side, so to speak...destructive, cold, complicated, invasive - those are the images I was left with. In fact, I was kind of grooving to the music at the beginning until that Droid thing appeared. Count me out with that video - I'll stick to my super friendly, easy to use iPhone any day.
