HTC Mozart on the O2 Webpage
Not sure what the graphic designers at O2 were smoking when they created the above image, but they surely seem high on something ! The above image is straight from the O2 webpage listing all their devices and specs. Some Android fanboy apparently though that the Mozart runs Android and hence has the logo at the bottom.Now on one side it surely is very misleading and offensive for some, it may be.
