What must be the worst looking smartphone ever designed is now launching in China. I’m talking about the Philips D908 Windows Mobile 6.5 smarphone pictured above. Not much is know about it other than the info info on Microsoft China’s product page. It is supposedly shipping with WM6.5 (even tough the screenshot shows WM6.1 and the product page mention WM5!) and feature 1gb of onboard RAM (this is a first for a WinMo device), 2gb of ROM, a 5Mpix camera, a 3.2inch WVGA touchscreen and is GSM / CDMA compatible.
