No offense to the designers, but I'd be embarrassed to carry around something like that. Hopefully they're listening to early feedback!

I agree, it's definitely not a "business phone", but my guess is that it might be a big hit with the high school LAN party crowd.
That's exactly what they're targeting here -- Alienware's existing (and not altogether small) market, full of gamers, geek chic, and those that might wear t-shirts advertising their hackitude.

Designers look at it and wince, but I can definitely see that phone being successful in that crowd.

EDIT: Argh. I should've paid closer attention to the text. As others pointed out, this thing's completely fictional. They're not targeting anything. Mea culpa.

The thing looks like a monster.. or, I know! An ANDROID! <G>
That is the ugliest thing I have ever seen.
It's absurdly hideous. I would be embarrassed to carry that.
