I'm not the first to say this, but after reading the recent posts, I believe this photo to be not an elaborate mockup, but a change in the texture of the backside of an iPhone. Sorry for those who really think it's the real thing. But who knows you could prove me wrong if it is the real thing if it comes out 
As someone who is not interested in buying an iPhone, I don't think it's real. I've been over every post in this thread and I have ummed and ahhed over it.
FAKE
why?
The shadows don't seem right on the picture
The writing looks a bit skew-wif
The dock connector and surroundingg area looks very un-apple like
You can't, or rather Apple never, engraves on a glossy surface. (someone else picked this up)

Has anyone thought that this might not even be an iphone it could just be a case that someone has made for it or modified in some way the to notches on the bottom are confusing and also try holding you iphone at that angle the camera is defiantly in the wrong place. I cant remember there ever being a leaked picture of an apple product and if there ever was i would take a guess that apple would do everything in there power to prevent it or even if they have a chance or time change the design just so no one knows what it looks like. They wont bother making a 8gb 3G the one bad thing about the iphone as far as imconcerned is space and every one i knows has the same feeling it doesn't have enough space. And also with the upcoming App Store more memory is going to be taken up with apps. And a white apple logo and shiny black plastic backing i agree very tacky, the new model will have be in colors just like the ipods when they first came out black and white possible but not shiny black plastic i suspect they will keep the antenna and have colored aluminum like the ipod classic keeping the same color logo and possible allowing you to choose the color for the front as well behind the glass around the screen. All of these points probable have been brought up all ready but there are 14 pages to this thread and it is 11:45pm and i cant be bothered 2 read past page 3.
Maybe i am just seeing what i want to see but i am shore that there is defiantly a line there. (fare right hand side inline with the top line of writing not the name iphone the line of txt below) Now u may say ye there is a line but its in the wrong place it goes straight through the writing!! YES it does the writing is way to low down why change the layout of it and buy law dont they have to place those symbols about disposal etc on the back. and if it was a new model it is very convenient that the model number, serial number and IMEI is not readable
Since Apple Legal hasn't stepped in and we're now on page 14 of this thread, I'd say the verdict is in!
(drum roll please)............... F A K E !!!!!!
Well, Apple legal didn't step in when the keyboard was leaked, did they? Maybe they don't want to give it away and they just want it to go away as another one of those hundreds of mockups, then BOOM! They surprise us all. But no that could never happen. Or could it?
Then again, that was a keyboard, this is a phone.
I think it is hilarious and kind of sad how seriously into all this people get LOL! Whether it is real or fake I'm fine either way. It does make sense to make all models 3G and keep 8 GB at the lower price point instead of having EDGE AND 3G.
Like somebody said earlier I REALLY want Apple to make the Apple logo on the back a flash for the camera, that would be so cool hehe Instead of getting a new digital camera my new iPhone 2.0 is going to replace that

That is so Fake!
I can't believe how fake that looks.
14 pages of people debating this.
The fake looks thicker than the real iPhone and the shape is way off.
The back of the next iPhone will look the same as the current model.
The days of an 8GB iPhone are numbered. The new models will be 16GB and 32GB
Expect to see 8GB and 16 GB Nanos and a 4GB Shuffle.

Well that's not a very nice thing to say.
I would point out that in the first place, I was only speculating, (you might have to look that up), and in the second place, there actually *was* a job posting a few months ago for an Apple designer/engineer with experience with fibreglass/carbonfibre materials.
That kind of implies they are looking at releasing products made with it right?
So there!.
Hrmph! (sticks out tongue)
Blue shirt. Red/Yellow tie. Wedding band. And it's not an iPhone device as the camera, hand on right side is clearly pushing a button on top of the device/camera.
Kinda fun picking these cues out isn't it...
It's not Schiller or Ive's. Could be Steve but I don't think he wears ties to work. I'm gonna go with a Microsoft spy sent in to push Windows Mobile for iPhone V2.
Anyone seen the iClone iFone's yet? Got to play with one tonight. Not sure what screen there using but it works the same! Touch seems a little wider than the iPhone but really clever. Now if they'd just run Linux and a real CPU they'd be worth the $140. Reception was a HELL OF A LOT better than the iPhone. Sitting at dinner we had both next to each other. Apple had 1 bar, Clone had 4 (out of 5). CECT P168+ was the model. It's a HELL OF A LOT louder too both ringing and playing music. Since there both made in China from the same parts I guess they'll last just as long........ 2010 (ATT cuts off GSM).
How do you wipe without putting it down? Or do you make a choice... Wipe or ruin the laptop... One of those life choices I guess. At home, sure but I'm not touching my laptop without clorox after setting it down in a public restroom.
That's probably the only way to give a mac a virus, eh.

Legal dept can't do a thing if it's NOT COMPANY PROPERTY. They can go after the person who leaked it but legally unless it's their intellectual, Lb-Sand. Maybe FBI or CIA can take possesion... But a guy sitting on the pot taking a shot of a phone he "borrowed" then nope it's not their property it wasn't stolen they have nothing to stand on.
You think GM tells motor trend or car&driver to remove pictures of cars they snapped a pic of? Can't.
heh
I have a nicely shaped sink that I can rest it on, my MBP would burn the hairs on my legs!
It's not common sense, it's called being nice. Now if you wanted attention you'd tease the entire apple community with one picture and have them wanting more. Thank about how attention this board got because of one picture.
Once it's died down he'll post another one up, considering it's real
Welcome to the internet buddy.
I say not real! The next iPhone will more then likely have the camera on the front, for video conferencing, etc....
Thank you.
MAN most of these people are gullible.
"Well, it is the same shape as an iPhone AND it says 'iPhone' on the back, so it probably is real. I don't know why some of you guys won't believe it."
The fat iPod nano leak was an incredibly low-res blurry photo of an advertisement for them on a computer. It was posted on a legitimate rumor source. Within hours, Apple sent out a cease and desist on them.
So PLEASE, quit using that leak to claim that this somehow might be real. This is from some random blog.
IT'S FAKE! APPLE PRODUCTS ARE ALUMINUM, NOT PLASTIC!
