Facebook has announced the release of the profile sandbox for developers. If you have added the developer application, this means that you can now check out what your new profile is going to look like. You can view the profile at www.new.facebook.com/profile.php. Facebook has also provided a new developer library and a sample application that developers can check out to see how all the new integration points work.
The launch of the profile sandbox means that developers now have at least two weeks to get their new profiles out. Most likely it will take Facebook longer then two weeks to get everything rolled out. Facebook has also said that the new profile design could change as it is still in beta. Read more about the changes over at Facebook. I was able to access the new profile and came up with the following screenshot:

The design HAS to be changed – right now it's horrible.

I don't like the left sidebar as it seems very disorganized and in my opinion the font size of the wall is a bit too big.
At the moment it really looks like a beta and I hope facebook want to detain something for the final release.

So what'd you think? Better? Worse?

Seems like many of people can't see the sandbox yet, my friends tried to open it but they can't, and I see it.

what a huge disappointment; I hope this isn't even nearly close to the quality of the final release.

Right now I'm not so sure … trying to mess with it a little more

I wonder how the general public will respond. I personally like the openness of it.

Same here. I'm not too sure about the new design. There's so much white space. It's like they copied this blog's layout
I forwarded on the link to a couple friends to see what they think.

Not being able to collapse the mini-feed is really annoying.

I love it! Apps have more room. Stuff loads with Ajax. It feels like an OS. Terrific!

Fonts are far too large, and looks far too messy right now.
