> Only if you go back to the 5, in form factor/design it's an upgrade in absolutely every way over the abysmal 6-series apart from the headphone jack.

I'm in agreement with you that the 5 series form factor is way better. I was in fact referring to the headphone jack and the problems with the thunderbolt connector as being a downgrade from the previous generation.

> 7 has a premium black option again finally that provides much needed grippyness, camera thought still warty is an equal distance from the edge not lopsided and actually machined out the case, antenna lines are finally almost invisible again

TBH I think that most users (myself included) slap a case on these devices straight away so all of that stuff is kind of pointless. That attention to detail should be expected at this price point that said.

The 7 doesn't suck by any stretch. IMHO there are some flaws and design stupidity that just shouldn't have been allowed to make it out into the world so I'm considering alternatives. The S7 Edge maybe? Dunno.
