Having seen the leaked video, I was curious if anyone has seen the "other side" of the new vPhone, and knew if it still had a "SIM" slot? I only ask, because if it does, then it likely uses RUIM, making the first VZW device (that I'm aware of) to use the SIM analog in their phones. That also opens up the possibility that the vPhone won't be locked to VZW via ESN, but instead RUIM, making it possible to Unlock the vPhone and use it on Sprint's network, provided Sprint makes RUIMs available, or another CDMA carrier (including others that started switching to GSM, like in Canada or Mexico, in order to carry the iPhone).

EDIT - After finally getting a 360° of the vPhone from Engadget, it does not appear that there is a RUIM slot. I was hoping. This then means that the other antenna in the video might be an updated antenna for the next at&t iPhone, especially since I only remember 3 breaks in it, not the 4 the vPhone has.
