the trailer shown cubes, spheres, some borg yard?-possibly a fleet of starships led by the promethius and neigh'vars! what are the klingons doing there anyway!?!

I can confirm seeing 2 Negh'Vars, a Prometheus, a Nova, and an Excelsior. Apparently the fleet used in the final episode will consist of 18 ships.

Just saw the preview from Endgame, and a lovely news report from the station that airs it here in Los Angeles. Aparently, Vice-Admiral Janeway is onboard that Type-9 and says that she is bringing Voyager home...

There're apparently at least two different trailers. The one I just downloaded from Vidiot has a Type-9 running from a Negh'Var, and what appears to be a Nova firing on two more Negh'Vars from behind, but none of the aforementioned fleet scenes.

Yeah, the only one I�ve seen, from section31 courtesy of Vidiot didn�t show any of the cool scenes you�re all describing, nor did mediatrek. Where is this second trailer?

The pylon structure is definitely different, and the nacelles seem smaller. Perhaps the shuttle got a bit bent and squashed by all those disruptor beams?
Weird that the CGI folks would go to the trouble of making these minor modifications. If they did this to the shuttle, what about that Nova, then? Perhaps the aft view does not do her justice - perhaps the bow now sports six muzzles familiar from a certain DS9-related publication...
If not, then that Nova captain sure has guts. Never mind that the Negh'Vars look tiny compared with the shuttle, they still look just as big as usual compared with the Nova!

Yeah, the bridge is definitely different - perhaps somebody took the "pre-damaged" USS Equinox model and repaired the damage to the best of his abilities, and mistook the "sunken" bridge structure for a damaged area? (With Rick still breathing in everybody's neck, I think he would have been consulted, though!)
Other possible differences: where are the cooling vanes (?) on the nacelles? Did Ransom's crew add those to the Equinox when their engines overheated, or something?
Okay, the shuttle looks acceptable in this view - it's the ones with the shuttle closest to the camera and the Negh'Var's tailing that seem to use false perspective.

Actually, that's a cool shot. I hope to see more screencaps like that soon.
