ENTERPRISE design in the new film? (How many changes?)

I don't want to see any changes! I love the ship as it is, it's such a brilliant and iconic design. They should have no problem making it look modern without messing with it, just look at Enterprise In a Mirror Darkly and Star Trek Remastered!
That said if they change it I'll still see the movie.

If it has the same general shape, that's good enough for me.
/\ As long as it has the saucer section, the main hull, and the warp nacells, the design team can let their imaginations run wild. Not too wild though 
I doubt that they'll make wholesale changes to the design of the Enterprise; it's one of the most recognizable ships of Sci-Fi.
I think that we're likely to get some cross between the original Enterprise and the refit Enterprise. Like Kirk, Spock, and McCoy, it has to be recognizable to the audience to generate mass appeal.

I wouldn't mind it if the Enterprise looked like it did in Cage.

Or like the Defiant in, In A Mirror Darkly.

I thought they did a good job with the bridge in that two parter as well.

I have a feeling it will be different, with the detail of the NX-01, on the superstructure of the 1701 original - the idea being that this was her original "look" and the smooth lines that we know are actually overlaid on this structure after this adventure - like the so called "missing armor" of the nuBSG according to some BSG fans - which would mean we would, indeed, get to see the original Enterprise we love, but at the end after her first "refit."
Oh, and - insert complaint about nacelle caps here -

Same design, but different color...probably chrome, since that always looks futuristic. The nacelles should be big, rotating disco balls.
Seriously, if they keep the same shape, but add some detail, I'm good with that.

Right on.
I hope there's no heart attacks to interrupt my movie going experience the day I see JJ Abrams's Star Trek,
Ummm...
The DS9 episode used a half-sized model based on the original 11 foot one now at the Smithsonian. Except for size, it was IDENTICAL.
The ship seen in "In a Mirror, Darkly" wasn't any different either, from what I could tell.
Why do you say 'like in TMP or in the two other cases'?
TMP was changed, the other two were not.
Did you not come across some of the blistering criticisms of the Enterprise as depicted in either DS9 or "In a Mirror, Darkly"?
Let's face it, there is no way to please EVERYONE (and trying to do so is a poor way to make a film). Let them do what they want. I trust the "new" Enterprise won't be confused with the "Jupiter 2". It's a movie, not a religion.

Mostly the complaints were about how "fake" the ship looked. Some people thought the CGI ENT looked better than the model, some people thought the
model was CGI. Some people just don't know what they're talking about. They just like to bitch.
I can't wait to see this film in the theatre. I think being in a room with all these people, watching them get all knotted up about how they got the numbering under the starboard support pylon wrong or how they messed up the font on the tricorder display will certainly make the experience complete.
The technical term for those folks, actually, is "trek fan."
I won't have a cow if the ship is radically changed, but I have to say it would have more emotional pull if it was pretty much familiar.
I also don't quite get why modern audiences would reject the ship as originally designed. It's not like it's a 57 Chevy floating in space. It still looks like a spaceship.

I myself wouldn't enjoy being surrounded by people who conform to stereotypes.
As long as they do a sweet transformation sequence for when it converts into giant humanoid robot mode, I'm happy.

Probably want to wait for the second weekend, then.

You'll be dissapointed if you want to see that!
Unless the movie really does bomb and the only people that show up are the really freaky minority that brings clipboards to the teater. I've never met such a person in real life yet though. Personally, I can 'survive' whatever changes they want to make, but would rather they didn't change too much, like most of us, probably. Trek isn't our life, it's just a very interesting bitching topic.
In the end they will change what they want. My guess is, it won't be too much.
