No, you definitely were not the only one who hated this design. Plenty of people didn't like it when it was still a new product.

The reason why it's not designed after the V3 style is because Crypton wanted to make it appealing to Westerners. In addition, the V2 design is iconic and recognizable. Zain's style is very different to iXima's and here, they are clearly trying for a dramatic cool look. And don't forget that English came before the V3 Japanese and they were not released at the same time. Perhaps it wasn't intended for the pair to be released on the same day. But I think the desire to attract a different audience was the reason.
