MacRumors Poll: Design of the Leaked Next-Generation iPhone
The big news this past weekend was the leak of several photos of what appeared to be the next-generation iPhone. The early photos were a bit blurry and elicited a range of responses -- many negative. Opinions seemed to turn somewhat when high-quality images of the next-generation iPhone were revealed by Gizmodo this morning.
If you haven't seen the device in detail yet, check out this nice hands-on video from Gizmodo showing it at all angles.
The unreleased device seems to carry a number of features that have been requested by users in the past, including a front-facing camera, camera flash and higher-resolution screen. But the design of the phone itself seems to be producing the most vocal reactions, so we thought we'd conduct a poll to see where the sentiment falls:
The next-generation iPhone is expected to be released sometime this summer/fall. Apple has yet to announce the dates for its Worldwide Developers Conference where it has traditionally been announcing its iPhone hardware updates. Other rumors have suggested the iPhone may also be expanding to other carriers such as Verizon.

I can see what people mean about the design, it dates the phone a little but the added features more than cancel that out

I don't hate it, I don't like it. It's simply nothing special...
I wouldn't be surprised if this is not the final design; it could even be radically different. The hardware is likely final, but the case? It's pretty bland. Anyone in love with it is just drunk on the koolaid.

In the end is matters how it feels in your hands. The spec boost is nice. If it feels like the 1G iPod touch, which had sharper edges, then I might keep my 3GS. I like where this design is going, but I do like the smooth feel of the current iPhone design.

Get rid of the seams and bring the buttons up to par with iPad and you got a winner. Relocate the SIM slot to a cleverly hidden area such as inside the dock connector. The resulting clean lines around the aluminum sides will be more Apple like. The glass/ceramic back is great.
