I don't think texrat is allowed to say much about that.. I, on the other hand, with no idea about what Nokia is up to, I can answer it I think:

- New model design: This will look better to some and worse to others, just as was the case when the N810 came out.
- As it's quite unlikely that a new model will be built exactly like one of the previous ones I think it's pretty safe to say that "yes, it will feel different to the current model(s)".
