If Picasso made a phone, the Picasso Phone probably wouldn't be it

Yeah, the keypad is... uh, "modernist" in a super annoying way, we guess, but the exterior of this handset (which seriously is Picasso branded, for the record) is about as run-of-the-mill as it could possibly be. Scheduled to hit Taiwan, the glossy clam features a translucent cover that lets an OLED external display peek through when on, a 1.3 megapixel autofocus camera, A2DP, Picasso-themed content, and that's about it. So if you want to get enraged by some nonsensically-placed navigation keys in exchange for some low res Picasso wallpapers, this may be your phone -- but be warned, you may be causing the dude to spin in his grave once or twice.

Couldn't they have at least made it more cubist? Seriously, I think I've seen Nokia's that had keypads that would be more appropriate that this. And yes, while the outside is colorful, it's not exactly artistic. I do find the buttons above the number keys to be an interesting touch, though, what with them being in the shape of a paint palette. Other than that, though, very uncreative, and a poor use of an otherwise highly exploitable concept.
