- Camera on the front for video call
- Flash next to the camera
- Scratch-resistant sapphire layer on the back
- Solid build
It is said that the prototype was bought by a businessman from an unnamed source at a whopping price of $4000... We'll see if it's true. :-)]]>May 12th 2010 4:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/12/next-generation-iphone-escapes-in-vietnam/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/12/next-generation-iphone-escapes-in-vietnam/May 12th 2010 4:35AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/12/next-generation-iphone-escapes-in-vietnam/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/12/next-generation-iphone-escapes-in-vietnam/May 12th 2010 4:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/12/next-generation-iphone-escapes-in-vietnam/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/12/next-generation-iphone-escapes-in-vietnam/

Thanks for the translation but strangely enough even though I could not understand a word the man was saying the video was clear and I could understand all the points about the phone including build quality (the tapping on the phone). ]]>May 12th 2010 6:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/12/next-generation-iphone-escapes-in-vietnam/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/12/next-generation-iphone-escapes-in-vietnam/
That's nice, the price is already down from the $5000 Giz had to pay. So, in June we might be seeing $699? I just wish the curve would go on from there…]]>May 12th 2010 6:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/12/next-generation-iphone-escapes-in-vietnam/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/12/next-generation-iphone-escapes-in-vietnam/May 12th 2010 6:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/12/next-generation-iphone-escapes-in-vietnam/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/12/next-generation-iphone-escapes-in-vietnam/
I beg to differ, since beauty.. really lies on the eyes of the beholder, to each his own of course!

I'm actually glad to have seen it beforehand because the first impression wasn't good but I've warmed to the design.

Still looks like an iPhone though and it's still gonna be expensive so I'm not really sure why Apple care so much about it being a surprise.

This new glass back isn't going to be too good for people customizing it either.]]>May 12th 2010 7:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/12/next-generation-iphone-escapes-in-vietnam/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/12/next-generation-iphone-escapes-in-vietnam/
The smart way to leak something:

- shave your head
- Grow out a fingernail
- even let yourself get your photo taken but squint your eyes a little
- Use some skilled close-up shots, and throw in some Mr. BlurryCam for good measure

and the most important one:

- leak it to the press by saying it came from another country!

0323E - Story breaks
0325E - Phone rings at Jobs mansion
0330E - Phone rings at Jack Bauer's NY apartment. Its Jobs calling in a favor...
0345E - Private jet takes off from JFK headed for Vietnam

Word to the Vietnamese guy that showed his face. Watch Monday's episode of 24 and immediately go into hiding! :)

Relax people. Steve Jobs and Apple can suck it on this one. This is a different country. The legal process won't even come close to nabbing these guys. Haha on Apple.

"I swear, this phone is so damn ugly. anyone agree?"

I think it looks pretty good. I have a 3G and am eligible for an upgrade now (past the 18 month mark) I skipped the 3GS because it wasn't new enough, this phone (if it has a better camera and a second front facing camera along with a faster processor) does.]]>May 12th 2010 12:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/12/next-generation-iphone-escapes-in-vietnam/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/12/next-generation-iphone-escapes-in-vietnam/May 12th 2010 1:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/12/next-generation-iphone-escapes-in-vietnam/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/12/next-generation-iphone-escapes-in-vietnam/

They didn't post the video then. In the video the OP said it is slimmer and longer than the previous generation. The width is about 4mm less. It's a little heavier but more solid. Apparently the screen has been locked, but not remotely. His guess was that the original owner of this machine had been given some kind of code, and if it's not entered regularly the screen would lock itself automatically. That's why they can't test the OS if there is one.
Btw, the guy who posted the video is not the owner. He's just a forum's admin (or member?) who had a chance to play with the prototype and write the review.]]>May 12th 2010 3:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/12/next-generation-iphone-escapes-in-vietnam/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/12/next-generation-iphone-escapes-in-vietnam/Sounds good.
