but the sides are glossy and have a smooth, silky finish, as with the front and back. Would you still hate the design.
I still like the design, but color-matching the sides would be a design travesty IMO.
With that aside I am definitely ready for a metal phone again. The 3G hasn't held up as well as the original.
+1
the only thing the 3G was good for was faster network speed and the 3GS had a performance boost compared to the previous two, but I have always hated the design. this new version looks awesome and I love that their bringing back the metal design somewhat back (I understand that it can't be like the 1st Gen because of reception issues) but this is a A+ redesign.
my 3G was White, 3GS Black, this year I'm going back to white. So in this case, the old joke that once you go black doesn't apply to me![]()

This is how I feel about all the leaks... but I guess we will have to live with the device either way... and half of the people bitching about it will get it anyway.
