In my mind, there are three phones that have had truly goundbreaking (sexy) design. I'm somewhat of a phone nut. I spend more time on tech sites like WPCentral, CNET and Engadget than any sane person would, so I have given this quite a bit of thought.
My first was the original Motorola Razr. It was so thin and "high tech looking" and so different from every other flip phone on the market... it really changed phone design from the moment it was created until the iPhone. I lusted for this phone.
My second was the iPhone 4. What made the first few iPhones great was iTunes (and fanboys talking them up). The iPhone 4 was different. It was so darn cool and modern looking... it was the perfect metal and glass design. No one has come close to making an all touch screen device so classy and lust-worthy. I hated that I loved it, because I have some sort of illogical intrinsic dislike of Apple.
The only other phone design that has made me LUST for a phone is the Nokia N9/Lumia 800/900/920. The moment I saw a Cyan Lumia I knew I wanted one. I was completely dismissive of the WP platform until I saw the Lumia 900. From that moment on, I started frequenting this website and other WP sites. I am going to buy a WP8 device as soon as they come out, as I have come to appreciate the platform. It's too bad that I will never own one, as I will not leave T-mobile.
Anyways... Those are my thoughts. I would love to hear if anyone else has similar opinions.
