Hey - I've done it too. I'm not mad at you for that.
I'm mad because your wife is cuter than mine.
Here are some desktops that were released on the official startrekmovie.com site... all pics that were available before but are now larger. I enhanced them further still.
Dunno if McCoy is wearing just an empty phaser holster, or if that really is his medical kit, or what exactly on his belt... Spock has a phaser in that location when he beams down.
Also note the wordings visible on the main viewscreen... "WARP FACTOR" in this case...
Kirk seems to have taken the Photon Torpedo Casing Express...
This seems to be a different frame than was released before... now you can read "C-1701" on the hull, whereas before it was just "NCC-"

Girlfriend for now, and beauty is in the eye of the beholder my friend
That last shot Spock in front of the window/view screen is odd. IF that is a window, then the letters would be shifted over correct? Of course there could be three windows on the bridge now..... one centered and another to either side... odd stuff.
I thought the EMPIRE magazine exclusive version looked odd, the letters were jammed together weird.. maybe that was a pasteup of an incomplete shot, and now we have the final composite as the desktop image.
Anyway the new one looks more believable.
And I have no idea if the "viewscreen" is always a window with some kind of data overlay, or if it is supposed to be a video monitor that just happens to be showing a camera image of the bow of the ship.
I kind of suspect the latter, since the STARS in that image are visible on TOP of the "windowframe" if its a view port. :lol
So wait, all the glows and streaks in that photo, those are the BRIDGE LIGHTS being REFLECTED off of a GLASS WINDOW? :lol
That's why you don't want annoying bright lights all over your work area. :rolleyes

Dang it Mike - you made me spit froot loops.:lol
I don't know. I can't quite match up in my head, what the bridge set looks like, and the little peek inside the structure that we got in the teaser trailer.
My suspicion is that the bridge is HUGE, and fills up the entire "B/C Deck" module.
But in that case, there's no structure on the hull that seems to match up with the main viewscreen. Unless that big "vent" thing is supposed to be it... but if so it's kind of LOW I think.
In any case, yeah you're up high and you'd think the "NCC-1701" would be out of sight below, if it were a real window. I don't doubt that they would "cheat" it if necessary to get it to look how they want, though.

Would the ship's name already be painted on even while they were still building it?

I've said it before, I'll say it again: the Enterprise doesn't exist. It's fiction. The ship can look however the Paramount wants it to look. It can even look like more than one thing at a time, as reuse of "The Cage" stock footage in TOS can attest. That's the wonderful thing about fake things...they're not real.
I totally understand not liking the new designs on aesthetic grounds, but acting like there's a true Enterprise that's somehow more "real" then another is foolishness.
Well that's why the starship Protector in "Galaxy Quest" had the NTE designation... "Not The Enterprise". :lol
JJ Ambrans has still got to explain tho why his bridge looks EXACTLY like the one from Galaxy Quest.

I'd go with med kit.

The shot of Quinto on Vulcan showed a utility belt over his tunic.
Oh, and what's with the stripe of material just above the knees on the pants? :confused

^It's amazing how much the swoopier secondary hull and white, shiny paint of the new Enterprise looks like the Protector's body. Given Abrams' comments about Galaxy /Quest, I wouldn't be surprised if that was intentional.
It's the Enterprise - recognizably, unmistakably. It's just also - quantifiably - oddly proportioned, which doesn't bother some people; certainly not people who will like anything with the Star Trek label slapped on it.
Honestly, as clumsy as the design is, it's truly the least of this film's problems, by all accounts. A movie is its drama first, and again, even the few scene descriptions and shots released consist of either tired, cliched plot points, or character traits so divergent from their essence as to be unrecognizable.
If you'll recall, you could completely and accurately predict the entire flavor of KOTC from ONE shot in the trailer - the "breaking the 4th wall" campy moment of Indy crashing through the jeep windshield. If you care to search, you'll see that debate played out, and accurately. The essence of dramatic choices for the entire film was captured in that one, mishandled moment. In the case of this film, we have a far greater palette of poor materials to draw speculations from - characters being uncharacteristic, goofy and cheap set design, clumsy ship proportions, and laughable plot devices.
That some people not only don't mind these shortcomings, but actually embrace them is, well... well it's exactly what the filmmakers are counting on, for that one first weekend they've got before word-of-mouth kicks in.

Good eye and I have no idea.
