Lets hope the new design is an option but its not that bad. At least it won't require a quad-core processor to run it and it won't be the last version a device gets, like most Android devices still stuck with Gingerbread or older crapware. What good is Android if you have to keep buying a new phone to get a new version and malware swallows it? I'll live with Apples minor foibles rather than Androids me-too cluster@uck throwaway culture. A massive screen isn't that handy for most people so why take second best? I have an iPad for use in the living room anyway.

Yes... that's the expression I was looking for. The phone clearly fell victim to "design by committee". This mishmash UI was clearly a mash-up from several different people and design schools - ones that don't mix well. This is not the "Jony Ive only" creation that many fanboys thought it might be. Its ugly and non-uniform. Mix that with all the old-style apps and we have something completely hideous. I can't believe the romance they had with Windows Aero, many years after MS decided this design philosophy was passe.
