I'm down for it!
Though I won't win, here's my comment :)
Built-in WiFi? "What's with the character creation"? Did you just crawl from under a rock? The XBOX did "copy" that from the Wii, but that was done in a system update a WHILE ago....Built-in WiFi...did you think a system update will give you that?
If the phone's ROM structure follows the structure of previous builds (which should) then getting rid of the boot-up sound shouldn't be hard at all. It should be as simple as deleting the .mp3 from system/media
No they didn't. All you need is either:
a) the SDK and take screenshots from there or,
b) have a rooted phone and use the Screenshot application.

It's fairly simple. Plus, given that the kernel shows Drizzy-Drake (who is a dev in XDA), plus the software version shows as 1.0.0.A6288, it is most likely a screenshot from a G1 running Hero or a rooted Hero.

Here's the screenshot I sent to Engadget from my G1's edited build.prop:

Ummm...you guys know that anyone could modify that field to show anything right? All you have to do is edit the build.prop file in the system folder. I just emailed the Engadget guys a screenshot of the About Phone screen from my G1 showing the "model" as HTC SuperDuperDoubleDragon.

C'mon now, just because is on the internet, it's not true.
Pink button? How dare you call it pink! =P

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm in the market for a new phone and money isn't a limitation. I'm also not partial to any particular US carrier, but here are some of the features I'd like to have: WiFi, GPS, good coverage in lots of places, push Gmail (a must!), physical keyboard (a must!), a touchscreen, decent battery life and a relatively slim body. And please, nothing that has a fruit logo on it. No offense to the fruit fans, though. Thanks!"
