The Icon's design looks great to me. I even like the 930's design. Iphone 5? Perhaps there is that but at the end of the day, everything is the candy bar design and that popularity is totally the result Apple's design. So if the phone will be candy bar, there will have to be crossover. At least I expect there to be.
I hear ya. I too love the look of the ICON/930 (own a Icon with all colored backs). I saw the iPhone 5 because my brother has one (he just picked up a 1520 thanks to me), and saw, played with that phone many times, it gave the same look.
Look at the iPhone 5, it's rounded edges with the silver trim around it, then look at the ICON/930, Yep pretty much a combo
Anyway about it, there is only so many ways to make a "candy bar" type phone these days, so you can only be so creative and also make it feel premium as well. Sure you can do it in colors of plastic but, you step down in quality (can be viewed by some this way)
As normal, this is a rendering and not a finish product, so when it hits, it could look totally different.
