I'm so disappointed by the color choices, and the bevel on the screen (or what looks like a bevel). Don't people ever wonder why some of the most popular phones in history have been white/black/silver only?

I feel like consumer demand for mobile devices isn't driven by aesthetic choice, more so than apparent popularity.

The numerous amount of buttons on the side also makes me angry. Honestly, I have two buttons on the side of my iPhone, and a flip switch which makes perfect sense. Is it really necessary to have four different -unmarked- buttons?

Huh, the buttons are vol. up, vol down, power and camera(works even when in sleep/locked so that you can quickly take a picture unlike fiddling with the power and touchscreen on the iPhone). I don't see how that's numerous when they are all pretty useful.


How does it avoid lots of pocket/purse pictures?


No idea but I haven't seen one in six months of use.


I could be wrong, but I think that would be the proximity sensor at work.
