No wonder the design head was axed. The phone is like a Porsche. Looks the same since its inception. They are in constant angst mode about the looks, ooh what will happen if we make drastical changes... so it will stay and look the same. They don't want to disturb the cash cow.

But of course it gets pricier year after year.

Design iterations and UI is something like this: Look we've changed the window's bezel by 1 and a half pixels, now it's much better. 3 generations later: we changed it back the way it was, retro style, wow! Now everyone APPLAUD the CHANGES and hand over the money!
