What you see here came after VERY thoughtful research I did in the course of several months about how, to me, the perfect iPhone's dimensions, look and interface should be. Hope you all like it.
Just forget about the Moto keypad. It doesnt need to look or feel like those ones. I could have used some other image for the keypad, but with this i wanted to show you that Jobs wouldnt be happy with an ordinary keypad like in the majority of phones, with all the moving parts and associated problems etc,
The chosen Keypad has to be instead an elegant flat surface, with a membrane for the keys below, (like the Motos), but it can be mecanically designed to feel much better.
What do you think about the rest: Slide type, dimensions, screen size, buttons.. etc?
i don't think the iPhone will have an 'on/off|answer/hangup' set of buttons like you show with your green/red buttons. not gonna happen too many buttons and distracting. probably just a switch like the 'hold' on the current ipod. phone in use, phone not in use.
i'd expect much more minimalist, or even touch screen. numbers when you need numbers, letters when you need to type. how about a mockup of a touchscreen slide out?
It?s the bezel; that is what?s wrong here. Make the bezel around the screen hug the outside and it would look much better. Right now it looks like a 4th generation iPod screen.
I don't think there will be separate buttons for talk/hangup. I think the middle button of the click wheel will do double duty as the talk button and the select button. you press it to talk and press again to turn off.

The one you did is pretty basic for a test the waters design and I think it's a plausible Apple design. Although it's not for me.
I think the best add I've seen for a new phone is the BlackJack from Samsung/Cingular.

I like that ad too. It looks like it might be by the same agency Apple uses.

no. that's not likely at all. the blackjack is a samsung product and their ads are done by cheil. apple's ads are done by tbwa/chiat/day.

the design IS nice.
and you are correct in stating that most other mock ups do not have the correct dimensions, etc etc.
your effort is nice and it is one of the only designs that i like so far.
good job;
The phone should be much thinner, but you get the idea.
BTW, it was a year ago when i first did these drawings, and the xocolate wasnt around at all.
I added a standard keypad just to try things out.
