It is, by a long shot, the ugliest part of the phone. It just looks odd on the side, like a little slot that noone can really work out.

I've been asked by mates and my girlfriend: "What's this slot for with the hole in?" to which I have to respond "Oh, when you buy the phone Apple give you a little souped up paper clip which you stab in the hole and out pops the sim card holder."

And a removable back plate which needs no explaining is really that much uglier?
