Either it is bad marketing, or just advertisement without research or just a way to cause a stir, but it is nothing but a bad mesh-up of Windows Mobile 6 on a Blackberry Curve screen by RadioShack marketing dept.

The good thing that we get out of this silly image, is the fact that they are offering GPS enabled  8300 for $50 with 2-Year sell-your-soul agreement, although I did get mine for $250 last September.
