Is the WiiPhone Sexier Than the iiPhone? You the Jury Decide

The WiiPhone is one of those mods just adored by the House of Giz. It's the bastard son of a Wiimote and a common or garden-variety DoCoMo cellphone, stuck together by a clever guy who's good at this kind of stuff. I particularly like the wrist strap, to stop unnecessary accidents (just ask another writer here, whose CrackBerry met an unfortunate end when it hurtled to the floor following a difference of opinion he had with his wife). Anywii, take part in our exclusive poll below the gallery.

The ugliest and most pointless bastard child I have ever had the misfortune of seeing. What a waste of a perfectly good Wiimote...

It's only vaguely like a Wiimote.

I see a nice future for this gadget, since most of the kids out there do own a Wii and since teenagers own the cellphone market.

They should make the wii phone with nunchuk...

That way you could hold it like one of those ancient style rotary phones where you have a separate mouthpiece and handset connected by a cord...

Hold the nunchuk to your mouth, and the wiimote to your ear, old school.

What's with this "iiPhone" is that a mis-spelling or am I missing something?

@uberfu: See, it's the ii from Wii, transposed onto iPhone nomenclature, thus providing a masterful juxtaposition betwixt the two whilst illuminating the prominence of the naming conventions both utilize.

In short, a load of bollocks.

@jriga: You're half right. You failed to consider the possiblity that some "anti-apple" people are still voting for the shiny-shiny, slick-like-a-skid-in-a-fresh-dog-shit iPhone because the WiiPhone is about as sexy as penetrative vibrator designed by Amazon.
