Not really.

I'm not going to miss the original iPhone just because of an aluminum back. Way too shallow and I am not going to stare at it all day. I have a case for my iP4 I like and it is still thinner with it on. The 4 makes the previous iPhones look bloated. Plus, I am very careful with my phones when I need to be. Maybe it has sentimental value to make some people miss it. Only thing I missed from my iPhone 2G was that it was JB and I had all these MxTube vids that are now gone and are no longer on YouTube either. Plus, many of my notes.

If I truly missed the iPhone 2G and the aluminum back and construction, I could always turn to Craigslist and get it for $100 or less. With so many OCD folks, I probably can get it at an even better condition than when I had it. Only issues would be the software. Too bad I don't want to lug around two iPhones. If I wanted a back-up phone, I would go with another platform for variety.
 
don't miss it

I don't miss it at all, I use it as a doorstop for my bathroom door, I see it every morning
