Ok, don't like the idea of a curved back. I have had both the 3G and the 4 and while I was skeptical about liking a flat back like the 4 cause of hand feel when using as a phone, I noticed that the fact it stayed flat on the table when using on a table made a bigger difference than how it felt in the hand and htat it was nice that it didn't rock on a table. So I'll take a flat back thank you.
As for it having a curved front, some one pointed out for the idea of one that curves out like the 5th gen ipod, there's a reason people paid more back in the days of CRT monitors to have a *flat panel* (for one no image distortion). Dunno if there are bad reasons for it curving in (probably still distorts image).
So, besides aesthetics, is there an actual *practical* reason for wanting a curved glass in the front? I still don't understand the point of the Samsung's and why it's all that big a deal.
