Behold! The most hideous cellphone in the universe
Jintailan's 999 is pitched as an iPhone mini with a dedicated flower pattern and gravity sensor. Sold by eemobi for $120, you get a 2.6" display with 240x320 pixels, MP3 ringtones, a 1.3 megapixel camera, a gig of storage and "7 common games." Compatibility with local GSM bands is your deal to work out.
No, you do not get a free teddy bear.

Hang on, there isn't a single swarovski crystal on it! Add a few, and *then* it'll be entitled to the "Most Hideous" crown.

I dunno, I kind of like the enamely bit. If it were an iPhone case instead of an ugly phone, anyway.

Tasteful!
If you're gonna give yourself brain cancer, might as well check out in style!

The ringtone can only be set to "Color Me Barbara." There is no vibrate-only feature. And the paint is Scratch and Sniff: "Septagenarian Yeast Infection". Add that and a couple of Swarovski crystals and you got yourself a shoo-in.

Actually, I have to nominate this phone for most hideous.

I'll not be happy until they release the Bradford Exchange editions. I'm thinking the wolf's head/dream catcher design would be awesome!
Though the battling dragons would be sweet, too... :)

Anything even remotely like an iPhone is pretty hideous.

Hop on a plane to Japan and take a ride on a train. It doesn't matter where.
The phone posted above isn't even in the same league as the the tons and tons and tons of custom decorated phones you will see immediately surrounding you. And all of them will be furiously being typed on by fingernails similarly and just as hideously decorated.
Seriously. If I saw the phone above, my first thought would be "oh, how refreshingly tasteful!"

I was expecting something more hideous. It's merely ugly.
