Err.. means if use steel, aluminium but lousy design, ppl will say WOW!
but plastic with awesome design, ppl will say YUCKS?
(although s3 degisn is kinda... eh hem..)

er... mean if samsung claim that they are using nano-tech plastic, ppl will wow?!

as u said cheap or expensive doesn't matter, for me, plastic or alu also doesn't matter. haha! my own opinion la.

in chinese, we always say, no matter black cat or white cat, as long as they can catch tikus, they are a good cat.
for me, same, no matter plastic or alu, as long as they function well, they are good phone, no?
(although s3 design not really impress me la.)
