ModNote: I realize that each of these polls was subtly different; please deal with it and all have a discussion together about how pretty or ugly the supposed new iPhone is in this thread; don't create any more polls on this topic. Thank you for your understanding! --mkrishnan

so, whatever. it's all in rumor mode at the moment,
but what do you guys think of the new "leaked" design for the iphone?
it sounds like a lot of people dislike it,
but maybe it's just that the people who like it don't feel that their opinion needs to be heard.

poll?

How about you add a poll to the thread?

I vote no. It's bulky, it's too square like every other smartphone out there, almost looks like a fatter Samsung Instinct. Plus the seams, and those fugly buttons.

But I don't think it's the finished production model anyway...but if we're to vote based on what we've seen from those photos, then I vote thumbs down.

I want to see the final design. It may look better in person.

No need to be rude. When you add a poll to a new thread the thread gets posted before you finish adding the poll.

I hate this, seems to happen on all forums online... the poll tools seem primitive. Like something made once a long time ago and not touched since lol.

H A T E. It looks like something Nokia/Samsung would make for their low-cost phone market. When I think of iPhone, I think sleek, and this design does not say sleek to me at all.

POLL: Is the new iPhone 4G ugly as hell ? I say YES !!!

I really hope that this is just temporarily case to protect the real design to be discovered in this early stage of the product. But the finish is so well done that it might just be the real thing.. And it looks so fat and thick ? Can this be the new design ?? I hope not! Vote and let us know what you think..

I like it. The 3Gs look cheaper than this prototype.

But than again, this is a prototype so you can't say if the iPhone 4G is ugly. Who knows what Apple might change?

True, i hope they change it.. It must be at least a bit slimmer, because this one is fat momma. This design in my opinion is a step backwards.

I've always hated the 3G/3GS. Thrilled to see this on the way, and only wish it could have an aluminium back and still work.

This may not be the only prototype. Maybe they have 3 and this guy happened to drop this one. We can all hope, right?

I think it looks professional, industrial, and fit to be called an iPhone. The original iPhone was a work of art while the 3G and 3GS (I've owned all three and use a 3GS) look cheap and plastic.
