The outfit famous for knocking off RIM’s BlackBerry Storm in impressive fashion is back, this time with a psychedelic mishmash that could make even the most hardened soul chuckle once or twice. The F320 is — as you can so clearly see above — a terribly funny combination of iPod nano and rotary phone, and while we wouldn’t trust the specifications for a minute, we’re told that it’s a dual-band GSM handset with a built-in multimedia player, FM tuner, camera, 2.6-inch touchscreen and Bluetooth.

It’s also $259! Priced on the same level as the Kindle but offering more features. We all know this is coming, a Barnes and Noble ebook reader, officially Nook, but we didn’t know they’re going to make it a color reader.

Unlike the Amazon Kindle, the Nook has WiFi, besides AT&T’s 3G antenna.
