The very first thing my wife said after making a phone call was that the bevel felt sharp and was digging into the top of her ear. The second thing she said was that the tiny nick in the bevel that we thought was superficial was actually cutting into her pinky.
Obviously, besides nicks, the bevel is not actually sharp, but I do think it makes the phone less comfortable to hold for extended periods than previous designs. Ergonomically, I really loved the 3G plastic era, other than it being as slippery as a bar of soap.
I need to make a deal with myself that I will not swoon over the next iPhone redesign because no matter how much I say I won't put it in a case, it gets put in a case for one reason or another.
