Would You Buy An iPhone 5 If It Looked Like This?

That is one of the worst cell phone designs I've ever seen.
It looks terribly awkward and uncomfortable to hold.
Not to mention, it's pretty fugly.
That thing will be like a catapult every time you want to press the Home button if its sitting on a table or desk. (I do this frequently to check the time).
There is no way this will be anything even close to the new iPhone. And if it is, I sure won't be buying it.

That does look pretty slick - truth is I'd buy the 5th Generation no matter how it looks. It's what's inside that matters to me.

I don't like it how the screen is ever so close to the edge of the phone! God I'm picky

No edge is the future
I'm thinking of getting a iPhone 5. It will be my 1st iPhone. (in fact I haven't even owned a mobile phone in years, my last phone was a Nokia 3210!)
But if it looks like that 1st picture, I'll go for a iPhone 4. I don't like the shape around the home button (it makes it look cheap). And the teardrop shaped body is nasty.
I really hope it looks the same as the iPhone 4, or that 2nd picture.

I would buy that. But, I prefer the square-ness of the iPhone 4. Unfortunately, I think that Apple will probably do something like this - which isn't bad, but I just prefer the square shape of the current iPhone.
And the first design, from the OP, is disgusting and I would rather buy the iPhone 4 for £100 less, than pay for that, even if it had an 8mp camera, with 1080p vr, NFC, 3D no-glasses display, A5 chip, LTE. But, if it has an 4 inch screen, I'll have to buy it, even thought I'll be sick every morning when I see it.
