What I've noticed so far on these forums and in general public, is that if you like the 3G/3GS design, you probably don't like the new design, and if you never really cared for the 3G/3GS design, then the new design looks awesome.
I'm with the latter, I was never a huge fan of the 3G/3GS design, plastic back and curviness, but I absolutely love the new square design. Already have a buyer lined up for when the "4G" comes out next month.![]()
Actually, I loved the 3G design, and have one. It's beautiful when uncased, to look at and hold. But it's curved on the bottom, which makes for a slightly frustrating experience if you're using it on a flat surface. But I love the new one even more. It's different, but I'm certain that this is part aesthetics and part function. It's significantly slimmer, very slightly longer, but the flat back does it for me. And although it will be shame to put it in a case, that'll be the first thing I do - I'm not smashing another screen!
