Nothing on this image indicates that this really is Carphone Warehouse. In fact, anyone reading this forum right now could create a computer screen like that and take a digital photo of it. I think I'll enjoy my weekend and come back to MacRumors and see what Apple has reported on Monday. I hope the rest of you enjoy your weekend. Oh, by the way, thank you guys for letting us know that the new iTunes was released a few days ago. MacRumors has good news, and I can't wait to come back on Monday after enjoying my weekend and see what MacRumors has for Monday.
AppleInsider reports that UK authorized iPhone distributor Carphone Warehouse has added four new iPhone "V3" entries to its inventory system covering 16 GB and 32 GB models in both black and white.
Entries in resellers' inventory systems should typically taken with some skepticism, as such additions are frequently made on a "best guess" basis without any inside knowledge of future product releases. In some cases, however, as in last week's case of an entry in Best Buy's system preceding the release of the updated white MacBook, such changes to inventory systems can not be entirely discounted.
Increasing reports of iPhone 3G shortages and rumors of third-party manufacturers already shipping parts for the next-generation iPhone certainly point toward the release of new iPhone models in the near future. Previous reports from Boy Genius Report and Engadget have pointed to iPhone capacities as low as 4 GB, ostensibly in an effort to offer lower-priced models, while others such as this most recent report have suggested that Apple may continue offering only two different capacities.

Today I went to the AT&T store to get the MMS flag off of my iPhone for the 3.0 B5 software. So I was there and a group of people and the CEO of the ATT was there as well... The store wasn't too lively today and packed to it was just them me and another guy. When I was there I over heard the group of workers and the CEO telling the employes how to take care of the new iPhone and how to set up the new device. I over heard them talking about a 32 GB and a 16Gb models of the iPhone and they will all be black on the display same as now. She said that there will be apps everywhere and video's etc.... With this iPhone you will still need to activate it at the store.... same deal as the iPhone 3G. It will not be like the 1st iPhone..... They said that there will be a good price range. She said that the new device will also be capable of doing OTA!!!!! Finally!!!! But one problem....... Jailbreakers beware. She said this OTA will be auto to make the towers not screwed up.... So everyone is on the same OS so the towers are all sending out the right amount of data etc..... The back will be a plastic. She said the dock will also be bigger..... *Cough* Does this mean... EVEN BIGGER?!?
So there it is .. next week will be the launch of the iPhone V3 / iPhone Video ... I actually like the name ...
So to quote myself over a year ago ..
"The next iPhone will be all about Video .. Video = Video Phone Calls on iPhone = iChat for Windows ..."
First iTunes for Windows, Then Safari for Windows .. Next .. iChat for Windows .. it all makes sense ...
Guess some of you already seen this ..

Having used the system for 11 years I can tell you that picture is not fakeand normally CPW don't set product codes up for something that doesn't officially exist.
I've seen a few things in the system which don't exist, there's an entry for a white, 8GB iPhone 3G for example.
While I expect there will be a new iPhone announced at WWDC, I'd take the details in CPW's system with a pinch of salt
Edit: I don't see the options for the 8GB iPhone 3Gs in that pic, haven't been to work since Sunday but weren't they above the 16GB ones?
This is definately from Carphone Warehouse!
Additionally, hours before this was on Macrumours I was sent an email from a friend who told me he had found the code when selling an iPhone 3G.
The 'V3' code will not stand for 'video' but simply version 3!
However, this may be premature as CPW has also had the Blackberry Storm, a product it has never sold, on its system since before it was launched!
Meh ... If walking out with the next phone is all we really have to look forward to next week from Steve, I would much rather he remained home, resting and eating comfortably. Schiller can tote the new Jesus phone.
Now walk out with a beautifully-designed 10" Macbook Nano, and I'll have to go home from work early to deal with the Macgasm.
Well, I want to believe you, but I find it hard to believe the AT&T is already discussing this with their employees. If this was the case, I would expect to hear more chatter from Apple Store employees, as well as, other AT&T employees.
So did they add MMS to your plan?
Apple Store Blacked Out Nights ago
I was walking around at about...well it was too late for anything to be happening at the Apple Store. Strange that they would do anything in the Bethesda store, but who knows. I could see lights on, but they did in fact have the same black sheets blocking the windows, same as when they released the iPhone and such. I was kinda weirded out, it was really late. It was May 28th, early am. And i went back on the 30th and nothing changed...nothing that i could see at least. Never really thought anything of it until now. Just adding this to the discussion.

They're automatically rolling all iPhones into a MMS capable package. You won't have to do anything.
Have AT&T procedure manuals begun to leak yet? Didn't they by this time (relative to the launch) last year?
Those guys at CPW should be glad that Steve Jobs is still on leave. I imagine the call from Tim Cook was much more mild than if Jobs had been on the line!!
I imagine the call from Tim Cook was much more mild than if Jobs had been on the line!!So would this theoretical white iPhone V3 be flat-white, just as the black one will be (or is heavily rumored to be) flat-black?
I would think flat white would really pick up stains quickly, just like the palm rests on a white MacBook do. And yes, I know the palm rest is more off an off-white/gray but the point it is shows dirt much more readily than the glossy white outer shell for example.

It would have to be gloss white. Like you said, the palm rests on white MacBooks pick up stains, sweat and grime very quickly. The iPhone would be even worse with people, holding it in their hands, throwing it into their pockets, etc ...
