think the point is (for me anyway) that plastic that was true to itself would be far nicer than a fake chrome paint job.
this is only my opinion but i hate mutton dressed as lamb

What color phone do you have? I have the blue one, and while it's obvious that they intended for the paint job to look like brushed metal, it is still very clearly plastic. I guess what I'm trying to say is that it doesn't strike me as something they're trying to pass off as metal. It strikes me as plastic with a nice metallic-looking effect. Maybe it's different on the white or red phones (been a while since I handled a white one and I've never seen the red one in person).

But then again, I know that metal is bad for reception, so I won't buy a phone that's wrapped in metal. So I guess I went into it happily knowing it's all plastic.

I still love it.
