Seriously, what's the deal? Plus they took that hawt Hermes-style keyboard and gave it the MDA-style oval keys, not our idea of a nice changeup."</i><br /><br /> <img src="http://www.smartphonethoughts.com/images/Jerry-utstarcom_smt5800.jpg" alt="User submitted image" title="User submitted image"/> <br /><br />Pink Star Treks aside, if there was ever a time for fashion police in the Smartphone world this might be it. If Verizon requested this look they should be in jail for it. How could they (or whoever is responsible) make something that <a href="http://www.smartphonethoughts.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=13048">started out looking so good</a> and turn it into a mess? I can't think of another word, mess, is pretty much it. Let us hope this is either a joke or a big mistake that will be fixed before we wake up.
