A brief translation for those whom are not fluent in Vietnamese.
"Mr. Nam Phuong brought this to us."
"Front is glass as well as back." (really?)
"It's slimmer, but taller so it feels quite a bit longer."
"The build has a great durable quality with a secure heft."
"The design has a more masculine look and feel than prior."
"The phone was disabled by incorrect password and not remotely by Apple."
Everything else we're already aware of such as ports, cameras, GB.
Translation:
I met this drunk apple guy in a bar, he was mesmerized by the size of my nail, suddenly he told me:
"Hey, you know, my boss told me to "lose"(wink,wink) two phones in very distant locations... where are you from again?"
And so the story goes.
As always with Apple, they know a new design is enough "pull" to sell it. Capacity will be below expectations, leaving room for a bump down the line. IMO, unless they offer 3 capacity options, the 64GB won't be available initially. But if it is, expect it to be stupid expensive. There's always at least one let-down when a new model of anything arrives. Call me cynical. 
At the end of the video you can see a Peugeot 307 with an european plate..
Nooo!!! I've seen Prison Break, 24, JFK, the Pelican Brief, The DaVinci Code and Wag the Dog, I know exactly how the world works. People with money and power are puppetmasters with magical powers. They control the media, the government and the authorities.
Oh, pre-emptive response to anyone who dares doubt this world order: "You're sooooo naiiiiiiiiiive..."

Is Everybody complaining about this when they talk about the seams?
lol, yup, they are the infamous seams
I think it is more so the overall seams than just that particular line. This design is very blocky compared to the previous models. Honestly if I didn't know anything about iPhones and you placed these two devices in front of me, I wouldn't be able to tell you which one is the new one. The designs are so drastically different. One of my complaints is the metal on the outer rim of the phone looks cheap and not polished looking like that of my ipad or the unibody pro's. I also don't like the buttons on the exterior. Not a fan of the round buttons rather that the current design. I will buy one inevitably but there better be something absolutely mind boggling at the WWDC for me to really want one and accept this new model as a nice phone.
It looks like the Mac's, where apple brings the glass to the edge and then the aluminum sides.
Makes me think this whole thing has been planned by Apple. An elaborate publicity stunt..
this
Flash capacity will continue to increase. Apple needs to remember that limiting their phones to internal flash only, and keeping it at a value that was ok 12 months ago is going to cost them sales.
For my wife, an iPhone with less than 64GB flash will mean it's a deal breaker. For me, well I'll probably get one anyway.
I thought the same, but........
I was ready to say it was a knock-off too, but since it clearly shows the same Apple branded A4 chip, I have to assume it's legit. Maybe not the final design (I'm expecting a unibody-type final product), yet close to what the final product will look like. I can't wait! I love it!
Asian knock-offs already?

Does it say anywhere what the official screen size is? How many iPhones need to leak before someone puts a ruler to the screen??
Is Everybody complaining about this when they talk about the seams?
ya unfortunately people are like that... i'm sure if Apple would eliminate the seem they could, but maybe at this time they can't? either it's still a prototype, or they need it when servicing the phone.. they gotta open it somehow lol
people also think you can magically fit as many GB as you wish into a small iPhone..

Yep, that's the seam. It's ugly. Very unApple like.
