I do like metal, but the new (new to me, anyway) design looks great too. Also, it's more comfortable to hold.
 
I think it looks best aesthetically with the aluminum design (it matched my MBP!), however, I prefer the 3G S because of the features. What I really want it a 3G S with an aluminum enclosure!
 
Idk its just something about looking at the screen of a 2G. Like it looks like there's more iphone around the screen lol. Idk how to explain it.
 
Ew, no way. The back of the original iPhone is one of the most hideous and cheap things I've seen from Apple.
 
The original design is more industrial while the current design is more elegant. I prefer elegance, but I can see how some people would go for industrial.
 
Oh yes, the original looks SO much better. The 3G and 3G S⃣ look a bit budget whereas the original looks luxurious.

I miss mine!
 
Well I agree with you anyway. 🙂

If the 3G had come out first, we'd have all been cooing when Apple switched to a non-scratchable metal back.
 
I thought the original looked better before first seeing and holding the 3G in person, but now I like the 3G and 3GS a lot more. Especially the white one. 🙂

I agree the aluminum was nice, but I never was a huge fan of the two-tone back to be honest. 😀
 
Aluminum was nice, but much prefer black. I was never a big fan of the two-tone look, and I like the shape of the 3G/3G S (contours better to the hand)
