iPhone 4G: is this it?

doubt it, the build quality looks rather poor! i'm no apple fan but they do have a good finish and the one pictured is shockingly poor.
 
looks mahoosive. like an x10/hd2 but thicker

surely the new iphone will look exactly like the old ones anyway. its the apple way

Build quality of most prototypes probably look rather poor, as said, it'll most likely look like the other Iphones but maybe have an Orange back or something :D.

HTC are doing better phones than Apple as of the moment (love my Hero) but Apple seem to be the king of Marketing and product design.
 
It could be. I love the feel of the iphone but squarer edges would be much more practical. My iphone feels like it's about to fly out of my hand half the time. It's just too round and shiney:p
 
I reckon it's quite likely TBH.

First the Nexus 1 and now with the Desire and x10, three phones that are not just arguably better than the 3gs but also with big marketing budgets behind them*. Due to these Apple is starting to hemorrhage it's loyal customers, those coming from a 3g (or even 2g) and not seeing the 3Gs as a big enough upgrade and not waiting til a possible June upgrade.

What would you do in a situation like this? "Accidently" lose a prototype somewhere, giving people a peek into what the new one will be like (better than showing it off officially as it may not work properly yet, it's easier to just palm it off as a partially working prototype that was lost than a partially working phone at a conference) and causing all those iPhone (and other) users to stop rushing out and getting the Desire/x10 and wait until the release of the new iPhone.

Personally the phone looks a damn sight better than the old one, although they still have too much space at the top and bottom for my liking. I'll be more interested when we actually find out what it is running under the hood, if it has a higher resolution screen it better have a much faster processor/GFX processor to cope.



*There are other phones before those three that are arguably better, such as the HD, Hero and HD2 but they never got as much marketing as the three now mentioned.
 
eurgh, it looks lousy. if they squared off the corners a bit it'd look okay... although then it'd look too much like a Droid/milestone
