The phone will be released online only 6-26, and in stores and telesales 7-3.

To help clear up what the 'lights' are on the top of the phone, may I present the following image:

Great thanks. So both right dots are the proximity sensor and the one on the left is the light sensor.

Any spec sheets for the software of the phone?

edit: actually yeah...the proximity sensor for the new iPhone (yes I said it) consists of two dots now, too I think engadget reported it. It increases the accuracy of the sensor.

So does this mean no accelerometer?

last one until the release. here is what the shortcut menu looks like.

Thanks for all your info, but are you sure we can persuade you with our charm?

If this is correct hopefully we will be able to order this one early if we start calling and buging them like we did with the Gylde

Can you say what Software Version that unit is using? That way we'll know if its the version that is on the released units.

Awesome picture, kevin_byrne. Thank you very much for that. It sure ends a lot of speculation in this thread (hopefully some unnecessary questions, as well).

Any word on pricing? Sorry for pressing this point over and over. It's just that this seems to be the one remaining speculation to be debunked.

Thank you, insiders, for all the great information.

Great info guys! Thanks!

I am sure you'll be able to hack it and change themes pretty soon after it is released...

About that "Voice Chat" icon on the top left..........can someone please enlighten me on what that is? I'd feel very stupid if it's something simple and old, and I'm pretty sure my current phone doesn't have it......so don't be to harsh

EDIT: Looking at it again.......does it even say "Voice Chat"? I thought that's what it said at first...............but now I'm not sure
