I guess I just find a closed chassis more sleek or futuristic? I fully admit this is pretty dumb and it's definitely not a significant factor in my phone purchasing decisions.

Fwiw I'm not American either. But like I said, I hate cords of any kind. I'd probably buy a phone without a USB port if not for the fact I occasionally need to charge at other people's houses :p

I hate having cords too. For me at least no matter what pair of wireless headphones I buy, they never last as long as I need them to and when they die I am never around a place to leave them to charge.

Another thing is that my phone always tries to figure out what bluetooth device it thinks I want to pair with and it is wrong 90% of the time.

It also thinks that if I've been away from a bluetooth device for awhile that when I come back I want to switch from my headphones to that device and it is wrong 100% of the time.

Cords are irritating and I can't tell you how many times the cord has caught on something walking by and ripped the headphones out of my ears, but it still way less annoying than bluetooth.
