In that pic with Kirk falling into the snow, could that be a 'TOS' escape pod...?
Also, the uniforms, seem to have an ENT style "stripe" of fabric on the shoulders and upper torso area. I like it. Still don't like Kirk in Black though. I like the shot of the Kelvin. Looks like they have messed with the registry scheme again...if the ship is supposed to be older than the 1701, and the regs go chronologically, than NCC (something)0514, then it would have been made in the 2300's. But, they probably changed the whole thing anyways...

The Kelvin's registry is indeed NCC-0514. There's a full view of the ship on the TrekBBS. It's a saucer with two nacelles, one above and one below the saucer.

I don't think those are two nacelles. It looks more like a deflector dish above and most likely a nacelle below, although you can't see much of it. I suppose it works as an older ship, though I think the flatness of the saucer makes it quite ugly.
That bridge is really gonna take some getting used to, but it's not terrible. I quite like the panel going along the top with a graphic displaying star systems. At least they've taken elements from the original bridge and maintained a fairly similar layout, rather than doing something completely new. The only thing I don't like is the station where the lady in the skirt is standing. It's probably Uhura's station, brought out from the back of the bridge so she isn't turning around all the time, but to me it looks like a reception desk in a futuristic restaurant.
Scotty steps onto the bridge "table for one, lassie."
The uniforms are great over all, but I'm not fond of Kirk wearing black. Kirk's gold uniform is iconic.. now he looks like he's gonna rob a bank.

I kinda get the impression that the Kelvin is supposed to be an older ship, and that it's destroyed in 23rd century.
And as for that shiney white iStore bridge. Wow. What, are they fighting Romulans or selling mobiles?
So what's happening here? The crew escapes from playschool and save the day from a bunch of baddies that look like biker-Vulcans (but we know that they are realy Romulans, but the goodies in the film don't know that) in the shiney new Steve-Jobs-a-prise?
Oh, and Kirk has to shovel out the lawn, and at some point Sylar takes Kirks power.
Did I miss anything?

BTW, where did you see the two nacells Dukhat? I can only make out the one in the pics I've found (mind you, trekmovie site seems to be overloaded by other geeks trying to get a look at new trek stuff).

Someone months ago who had seen a portion of the footage by JJ himself stated that he saw a Starfleet ship with a saucer and two nacelles, one above and below. Fan speculation was that it was the Kelvin, which has turned out to be correct.
However, now that I'm looking at the larger picture, I wonder if it's actually one nacelle under the ship (with a red Bussard collector), and the engineering section above the ship, since the blue glow could be a deflector instead of a Bussard collector. Either that, or there's one red and one blue collector for some reason.

I agree with Dukhat the Kelvin has two nacelles as well and maybe the bottom one is damaged, hence it being fiery red.

Ooo...the trailer comes out on November 14, attached to the new James Bond movie. Now I really have to go see it.
That looks like a second nacelle instead of a deflector dish/eng. hull. Maybe they're just meant to be different colors...maybe showing some improvement in technology with the Enterprise, that will hopefully have two red/orange bussards.
