Well after checking the internet for any sort of illustration of the newest (Nemesis) Tricorder, I found NOTHING! So here is my illustration. I do plan on illustrating the inside components (pretty much ripping off and reconfiguring the illustrations on the existing Tricorder internals, and maybe adding a few new touches.)
My idea for the upper buttons is that the Tricorder can perform Medical, Engineering, and Standard functions without any additional hardware. I didn�t have any high res source images (just captures from the Nemesis DVD at odd angles) so I don�t know what those upper buttons actually are.

Is that middle area the screen? I don't recall getting a good look at that part during the film. (Not that I've watched it recently, or often.)

The design is not real impressive (though your illustration is). Looks kinda cheap really, and more suited to Kirk's era than the post-DS9 era.

Well, considering how Nemesis dragged in the middle, we can't be blamed for not staying alert enough to catch it. I don't remember the tricorder being used in the sickbay scene (the Memory-Alpha screenshot), but I remember Data using it in the Scimitar's observation room and on the planet where they find B-4. Also, when LaForge pushes Data out of the ship. I had just assumed that they were using PADDs.
On the other hand, Guardian 2000 seems to have it right. Looking at this Memory-Alpha screenshot, that large red button on the right looks like it says "EMERG". Also, to me, the two green lights you have labeled as "MODE" look like to me to read either "INT" and "A/B" or "I/E" and "A/B". I take it none of the magazines ever did an article on the new Nemesis tech?

Stationary, its not too impressive, but in the movie the screen was animated and a touch screen and it looked more advanced then the static buttons on the TNG-era tricorders.

The Memory Alpha site is missing a 2370 tricorder. I mention it because it seems a bit of a sort-of-kinda-not-really-prelude to the Nemesis one, retaining the three main buttons and the EMERG button, but discarding a few others:

Umm...sorry to contradict but this tricorder design was first seen in Insurrection. It's the same one Worf used to deactivate Data. However you never see the face of it then.
Cool art work none the less there Wes.

Looks about the same, it may have been a proto-type concept, you only get to see it for about half a second in ST:Ins
