Looks like the fully same hw underneath just the plastics were worked around the existing button locations. Kind of looks like a Sony Ericcson device now

I know it's a picture, but notice the left side of the screen isn't hanging.... I think even the pics for our phones showed that before.

this is a 3d rendering I doubt thats real, but that shyt looks 10X's better with those buttons

I don't know if that is a picture or a drawing, or in either case, if it is accurate.

... But open your own G1, compare it to the pic, and you will see that there is a larger empty space between thte top row of keys and the opened screen in the pic than on our G1's.

If this is accurate, I would consider that an improvement.

Eww, this model has the same under-cabinet radio kitchen appliance look that other prospective HTC concepts had from a leak a couple of months ago!

And that menu button is gonna be hell to hit. The only reason ours are easy to depress is that the button overhangs the back edge of the foot. Surrounded as that one is shown means one is going to deliberately use a thumb nail . . . no fun!

I'll keep mine, thanks. Although, maybe that's a squeak-free design?

personally...I think it looks better...but the change isn't drastic enough for me to actually care.

i like the four chin buttons but they should put the menu button back to where it was. Also, like the rounder chin look but yeah its really not enough of a difference for me to care. Interesting that they went with white keys again. Hopefully for the sake of future Spanish G1 users the backlight won't make the letters dissapear, but i doubt it.

The chin buttons on this model gives it a cleaner look IMO. I'd like it in black please
