Probably been done before, but why not do it again? Please vote!
 
It may be misinterpreted, but, I've chosen: "...something completely new..." assuming that the "completely new" thing is a 4 inch screen.
 
I want the iPhone 4 design but a mm wider to accomidate a 4" screen.

Where is my poll option? I picked the first option but that's not what I actually want. I want the same design but a mm wider and with a 4" screen
 
I want people to stop making these threads over and over again. Please add this options.

yeah, funny the most widely sought after option isn't even an option in the poll.
 
I want a notification LED, my old Samsung flip phone had one, Apple could easily hide it behind the glass like the cameras and proximity sensor.
 
Interesting how no one wants the 3GS or the original iPhone design back.
 
Since I don't plan on getting one this summer, I'm fine with keeping the iphone design static--excepion being antenna changes, etc.

I read about this LED notification alot...why is it so desired? I don't understand it.

The dealbreaker, for me, will be either: 4G or a 4inch screen. An LED notification light, A5, 3D display etc. will be extras. Also, iOS is broken: android is (on paper - the integration, speed, apps etc. let it down) better, please fix it Apple.

EDIT: An LED notification will be used to tell us when we have an, er, notification; without the need to click the wake button.

Solid gold back.
 
I'm hoping for a design similar to the 4th gen iPod touch, only thicker with an aluminum or carbon fiber back. The iPhone 3G/3GS design had a good, curved shape which I really liked, but seemed a little cheap. And with the flat glass back panel on the iPhone it was sturdy and good looking, but didn't have that distinct "iPhone feel" like the previous ones. But that's just my opinion :D
 
I want a completely new design. Surprise me Apple :D but a big NO to 4" screen. No thanks, I don't want to hold a brick called itself an iphone.

I guess with iOS 5, these are must have:
- home screen gadget, customizable.
- better notification, as someone mentioned, a led notification like BB.
- cloud service with 10GB free or sth like that.

talk about a brick. put a full body case on your iphone 4 and you've got one helluva brick.

and if apple isn't going to redesign for a 4" screen, they have no reason to redesign at all other than a sensible material for the back plate.

edge-to-edge screen redesign without increasing current dimension is fine with me. in fact, it'll be great! but honestly I really don't want it to be any bigger.

Reading the same threads everyday is almost as annoying as reading your posts. Welcome to my ignore list.

Haha thanks. Ignoring you too. You whine too much. Joined for less than a month with 600 posts of whining.

Good day sir.

Come on, there are only 300 posts of whining. The other posts are about hockey, eh. :)

On topic: I don’t care about the design much, but a bigger screen would be nice. I’m more into function, so a better battery, etc. is what I’m looking for.

Yes! Ignoring is great because it blocks out possibly important information coming from the person you're ignoring! And whining to tell people to stop whining is better than whining about whiners who are whining to stop whining.

Yeah, Canada = hockey, the Winter Olympics proved it.. maybe next time USA.

Anyway, i voted for a new design, but i could care less, as some of the previous posts stated.. i just want a 4" screen or at least a significantly larger screen like 3.8". And apart from the obvious CPU, GPU and camera upgrade, i'm looking forward to NFC to see what we can do with the technology! And obviously a revamped iOS. Can't wait for WWDC!
