I would not want to be seen or associated with an ugly phone, same as i will not buy a 3650, its got more features than my 7650, but its ugly!
When you go out on the pull, whats the first thing you look for? Good looks? When you buy a car, you choose a colour.. why? its looks again, if it looks ugly i will not be happy with it, and i would be ashamed to show it in public...
Most phones have almost the same features, but what draws you from one to another? Looks.... (of course brand may do too)
