Galaxy feels like a piece of plastic, looks like it was designed by a child in play school.
I have two White 32GB 4S's sitting here in box. I'm going to mail them to Asia (hasn't been released there yet) and sell them for 100% profit and keep my Galaxy. I think all the iPhones are ugly and buying one is conformist.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and one man's art is another man's garbage.

Don't get me wrong, my Galaxy is garbage as well and has terrible ergonomics but all I need is the big screen for reading ebooks and watching videos and for GPS navigation. Also, it was only $50. The premium I would have to pay for an iphone isn't worth it for a smaller screen, no removable battery, and features I wouldn't even use or an ecosystem I wouldn't touch with a 10-foot pole because I utterly hate the industrial design and universal look of the iOS user interface which you are stuck with.

That said, all the menus and swiping and multitouch of iOS and OSX are smoother and crisper and easier to use and less buggy than any of the ones I've tried on any other platforms. I won't deny that surfing the net is a joy on safari with multitouch. I just dislike the look of it and the inability to completely modify it to my heart's content.

Anyway, my point is that just because you don't think something looks nice, doesn't invalidate it for everyone else. Same for my opinion.
