    The 802 looks smaller and like they have "turned" it so it is facing backwards allowing for a much slimmer design. love the new white models..

        Based on the pictures I have seen 802s lost the masculine presence with the slimmer look and rounder plinth.
        I think the 805s and 804s don't look too bad for what they are. Rumored pricing on the other hand... Maybe I am being too harsh... Guess I should leave final judgement until I see them in person..
