 We guess that an "all business" device has to kind of be "all ugly" too, at least if PsionTeklogix' Workabout Pro is any indication. Sure, beneath the surface it isn't too horrible, sporting an HSDPA radio, WiFi and Bluetooth, and the externals aren't ugly without a purpose, the device should withstand almost any physical abuse you could throw at it, but something about a water-resistant Windows Mobile device dressed to survive multiple falls feels a little perverted. Truth be told, the device isn't really a phone, and is targeted toward businesses having use for handheld computers (think about oil changes at Wal-Mart, for example,) and in fact, it's the next natural evolution of adding 3G data to an already data-centric device, so in reality it is a good idea. However, our superficiality has to shine through at least a little bit.
The ugly-face Workabout Pro is available today, and just in case you're a business, you can pick it up from Psion's website.
