Why can't we get all good looking, good hardware and reliable? It's not even impossible to do.. Apple, HTC, Sony and LG proven it.. Samsung when? I think Samsung's design department is just lame.. Period

Not that I don't like good design phones with good reliability and stability, but there are things you have to trade off.

HTC - it has been bashed for few years due to lacking of new design from Desire to DHD to Sensation and all the way to One X. I have both DHD and One X and the build quality is top notch (metal and unibody poly-carbonate) and doesn't look cheap but still there are people dislike it. Then it comes the One which capture everyone's attention and everyone wow about it and I love it on first sight. But due to the unibody design, it lacks of expandable memory and removable battery.

Sony - whole front and back panel with glass coupled with water and dust resistance which is also a very pretty looking device. However there is no removable battery again and the flaps that cover the ports are flimsy and prone to wear and tear. Glass panel is easy to break if you fall it. Glass and metal panels are heavier too where nowadays 5 inch display is going to be a norm.

Samsung - it retains all the removable battery and expandable storage but made of plastic. I come to think that many dislike it is because the type of plastic used and the curve design it used on S3 and S4. There are many people like S2 design and the type of plastic used in S2 is very nice as well. I believe if Samsung change the type of plastic used then it should be fine.

Of course there are many materials can be considered by Samsung and I love to see the change Samsung might employed but for now (and for me) I don't see the issue in Samsung and all my phone I will put on a casing so for me, Nice Looking Phone vs Nice Looking and Widely Available Casing, I will always go for the latter one.

IMHO, for its time, the Nokia N8 probably fits the "good looking" + "reliable" + "feature-full".

Best phone for its time.

Haha..I also have a contender, although is also Nokia but is N95 8GB

Seems like "good looking" + "reliable" + "feature-full" are the old Nokia in the olden days. And now Nokia will be missed (off topic: gosh, their deal is even lower than acquisition of Skype by Microsoft)

Let spies up the day.

Samsung insider confirms finger print sensor in Note III

CODE
Now, a Samsung insider from Samsung R&D, India, confirms the existence of the fingerprint sensor on the Samsung Galaxy Note III. The insider also says that the Galaxy Note III will have a dual user mode which will use your fingerprint to open to your personal screen while an unknown fingerprint will allow the phone to open to the guest mode. Besides being a more secure way to unlock your phone, a fingerprint sensor will also make mobile payments safer.
