<p><strong><img style="border: 0px initial initial;" title="Ugly Sprint Hero" src="http://uglygadgets.com/images/htc-hero.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="978" /></strong></p>
<p>I&#8217;m not going to go so far as to call the OS on the device ugly, it actually looks pretty snazzy. Android looks rather beefy, special and sweet. But I wouldn&#8217;t buy this phone for two reasons: <strong>1)</strong> It has no physical keyboard. <strong>2)</strong> It&#8217;s ugly.</p>
<p>Sprint redesigned the <strong>HTC Hero</strong> to make it look like those old, piece of junk, COMPAQ windows mobile Pocket PC&#8217;s. Don&#8217;t you agree? I&#8217;m talking about the bottom inch of the device, to be specific. Funny thing is that I talked some <a href="http://uglygadgets.com/cell-phones/has-palm-finally-ended-their-ridiculously-ugly-gadget-streak/" target="_self">hardcore smack</a> on the Palm Pre when it first came out, but now it&#8217;s sitting by me as I type this and it&#8217;s my favorite phone of all time. I still think it&#8217;s a little bit Ugly, but It&#8217;s an amazing device. I blogged about my first impressions of my Palm Pre <a href="http://fluffyphones.com/pre-and-sero/i-got-a-pre-and-i-love-it/" target="_blank">here</a> if you want to see how I changed my tune from my <a href="http://uglygadgets.com/cell-phones/has-palm-finally-ended-their-ridiculously-ugly-gadget-streak/" target="_self">Palm Pre smack talk post</a>.</p>

<p>Can you say Halo meets Star-Trek? Or how about this: 80&#8242;s design meets web 2.0 + amazing 21st century features. Either way you look at it, this thing is an eye-sore. Do we spy with our little eye an orange button on this Ugly Gadget?</p>
<p>We would be ungreatful not to mention the amazing features this thing is supposed to have, but in all sincerity, we don&#8217;t care how many features something has if it&#8217;s not worth looking at. <a href="http://www.palm.com/us/products/phones/pre/index.html" target="_blank">[Amazing Features According To Palm]</a> &#8221;Breakthrough Design&#8221; Our Ass!</p>
<p>Call us crazy, but we think <a href="http://uglygadgets.com/cell-phones/kanyes-rockin-bang-and-olufsens-samsung-cellphone-serenata-fo-real-kanye/">Kanye</a> will be an early adopter of this Ugly Gadget. Enjoy it for now. Call us when Palm gives the thing a makeover.</p>
<p>That should be what? Another 20 years?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This reminds us of the phones our 90 year old grandmothers go after. Perhaps that&#8217;s who they&#8217;re marketing it towards but that shiny shell with pin holes in it just isn&#8217;t turning us on. The only thing we have left to say about this disgusting piece of shiny plastic is we wish LG&#8217;s marketing department luck. We&#8217;re pretty sure we can hook you up with a 90 year old &#8211; dentures and all.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Ugly Gadget Lesson #1</strong>: Putting the Ferrari logo on any gadget doesn&#8217;t automatically make it look cool.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-40" title="ferrari" src="http://uglygadgets.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/ferrari.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="424" /></p>
<p>Acer has tried it, now Vertu! We&#8217;re not millionaires, but we can&#8217;t see this appealing to any. We&#8217;d rather put our cash on a horse race than buy this ugly piece of machinery. One last question popped into our minds just before exiting this products informational page: Is the default ringtone a &#8220;neigh&#8221;? </p>
<p>Last thing we&#8217;ll say: If you&#8217;re a millionaire and you just happen to be reading this post, we strongly encourage you to lean back and think long and hard about this phone. If you still don&#8217;t realize how ugly it is, we recommend you stand up, walk to the nearest wall, move your head back and forth in a beavis and butthead motion till it begins to hurt. Now walk back to your computer and look at the phone again.</p>
<p>The above exercise was designed to make you snap out of the trance that the Ferrari logo tends to put people in.</p>

<p>We <a href="http://uglygadgets.com/cell-phones/motorolas-avant-garde-2000-aura-is-arguably-the-ugliest-gadget-invented/">posted earlier</a> about this shiny piece of <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">garbage</span> equipment and we had our hopes up that we would never have to cross paths with it again.  Nevertheless, we refreshed the page of Engadget, and there it appeared again! This time, it&#8217;s getting the &#8220;hands-on treatment&#8221;. Personally, we wouldn&#8217;t touch the thing with a 45 foot pole (original, we know). If the hands-on finger fiesta hasn&#8217;t started yet, we would strongly encourage whomever is handling this device to do so with extreme caution. Just be sure to suit up properly. A biohazard suit should be fine.</p>

<p>We had to rub our eyes twice before believing what we saw here. We honestly thought Kanye West had better taste than this! The Serenata may have been cool back in October of last year, homey, but not anymore. We highly recommend you check out some of the newer, nicer, more modern phones. The Serenata reminds us of the old Kobe Bryant robot shoes. Don&#8217;t act like you don&#8217;t know what we&#8217;re talking about. This just goes to prove that even the disgustingly wealthy, can still have bad taste. Jus&#8217; sayin&#8217;.</p>

<p>Check out the size of that thing! We must have missed the memo that brick phones were back in.</p>

<p>For the love of all that is sacred! Who let this thing jump off the drawing board? Though this device may come standard with a 62-carat sapphire crystal lens, 2-megapixel camera, Bluetooth, MicroUSB port, quad-band GSM, microSD, multimedia player and 7.3 hours talk time, it does not deserve the price tag of $2,000.  In our humble opinion, Motorolla deserves a swift slap in the face for designing such a hideous device!</p>
