Too ... uncomputerlike. I prefer mine more machine-like. Good form, nice finish and a heck of a function packed inside. And yes, I use the water extensions, the hot plug bays, etc.

There is such a thing as too simple, too hidden and too slick. I can afford any case I want, and Lian Li lost the race with twice the price.

And frankly, how much sleeker can you make a phone before it looks like a used soap or a rectal instrument? All iPhones I handled almost slipped from my hand. I have dry hands and soft skin. And Apple isn't the only one taking this minimalistic design to the edge of the possible.

All these new "sleek" phones annoy me. Strip the logo and you have a faceless drone. Shiny, smooth, faceless. Like a game of pool with 16 white balls.

Nokia is in on this too. Less(Streak) and less(N8) and less(Vibrant) personality. Long gone are the days where Nokia made a curved phone.

Get ready for the all-new [company here] phone! Now in [silver, black], in the new and exciting [bar] form factor! Features touchscreen! Hardware keys for volume! And a camera!

Step right up, folks, pick a phone, pay for it and when you turn it on you find out who made it! Choose from out sleek 2 colors available!

I hate it. And guess who's spearheading that movement. That is reason alone to hate them, they are ruining design. Their success in financial terms is forcing the hand of every insecure almost-fired CEO out there to clone them.

Alas, it's not Apple I hate, it's some of their followers. Smug li oh, look, Futurama's on.
