I think the newer iPhones look pretty good actually, if you look at them from a point of the actual design, rather than the fact that so many people have them (so they're not unique anymore). I mean, a glass front and back isn't great for durability as one drop from a fairly low height could cause both sides to crack completely, but I think it makes the phone look good.

I won't disagree that the 4/4S looks good, but after holding my brother's 4S, I just don't think the looks justify the lack of ergonomics. Compared to it, my mom's Nexus S has a much nicer grip since the palm of my hand cradles around the curved back quite naturally instead of claw gripping the straight edges of the 4S. This is why I won't complain about the S3's looks, since I prefer practicality over anything else. I'm hoping they would release one with a slide-out keyboard on Sprint. That's just me though.
Yeah, the iP4/4S isn't amazing to hold in the hand, though it's not awful.

Yeah, that's annoying. The S2's overscroll was the best on any Android phone in my opinion, and with the ICS update it's gone.

It's not my phone though, or I'd flash something to bring back the ol' bounce effect.

Yeah you're probably right. I personally think the iPhone 5 will feature an almost full redesign of the phone, with a 4.0" display.

I think it generally doesn't matter to me what a phone looks like so long as its physical appearance attributes don't impede my ability to use the phone.

That being said, I prefer smaller form-factors, and I generally don't care about such large screens.
