There are some faces only a mother could love (the Palm Centro and Motorola M990 Smart Rider spring painfully to mind) but this watch phone really takes ugly design to previously unimaginable heights of grotesqueness.
That is perhaps a bit strong, but there is no denying that the QKFone WF820 has clearly had a prolonged and unfortunate run in with the business end of an ugly stick. Graceful like a forklift truck, compact like an oil tanker and underwhelming like a drunken one night stand at Euro Disney. The QKFone WF820 is quite clearly a poor mobile phone that has had a strap haplessly applied to its underside in the hope that it’s unique dual function will dupe customers into thinking that it’s a valuable and innovative convergence device.
On the plus side it does have some half decent features the best of which is GPRS. There is also an FM radio, 1.3″ TFT screen and Bluetooth; did we mention that you can wear it on your wrist? To be honest, considering how ugly this thing is we’d rather wear it on our ankle but that would invite onlookers to speculate that we had been electronically tagged for naughty behavior.
This is one device that we are not at all annoyed to know is only available in Taiwan.
