I'm told the 'flat' side panel is because they had too many warranty claims resulting from the 'round' side/back panel. The curved panel left the buttons more exposed from the underside of the device leading to breakage.

Flip your 3GS around and look at the volume and ringer switches from behind... there's too much that can catch on someone's pocket for a mass market device.

It looks less sleek but more durable.
