Ugh, I really hope this isnt true. I know it's all subjective, but I think the current iteration is the coolest looking one. I think Apple was pretty proud of it, I have a feeling they will stick to that design and just fix the antenna problems instead of going with another complete overhaul.

I know I'm quite the minority, but I still like the 3GS design more than the new one. Always thought the roundness was kinda neat. That said, that mockup looks sexy, hope it's true.
The 3GS felt really good in the hand. Ergonomically it worked better for me. The iPhone 4, in my opinion, looks much cooler, but doesn't fit as nicely in the hand.
Yes, the 'soapbar' design of the earlier iPhones fit your hand much nicer. While not exactly painful, the iPhone 4 edgyness actually hurts your hand a little. Also, it's way more slippery. And how much better the antenna design may be, I can get it to disconnect from my Airport Extreme 6 meters and a chalkboard-wood-and-rockwool wall away; just by holding it in a comfortable 'landscape' grip over the top of the iPhone.
