Givori Serendipity is the nastiest Nokia N76 everRemember when we mentioned that the Motorola M990 Smart Rider looked like it had been hit with a bad case of the uglies? Well, it seems that we spoke in haste, our mistake. What you see here makes the Motorola M990 Smart Rider look sleeker than a MacBook Air. The Nokia 8800 Arte-based Givori Serendipity is quite possibly the gaudiest, tackiest, ugliest monstrosity we’ve ever laid our eyes on.

Now, we’ve seen other gaudy, high-end handsets that have drawn our ire, but nothing like this. The Givori Serendipity starts off as a fine-looking Nokia 800 Arte. Then Givori covers it with all manner of nasty trinkets and slaps a $3,077 price tag on it.

Right, if you think the Givori Serendipity looks cool, slap yourself. There, do you see what we’re talking about now?

[Update]
Should have known better. Updated to reflect that this thing is based on the Nokia 8800 Arte.
Thanks Afinis.

    Isn’t this the 8800 arte? In fact a ”pirates of the carribean” version of the 8800. Propably the cell phone a Captain D. Jones himself! But where is a photo of the ugly n76?
