So, someone at Apple seems to have misplaced their either test or prototype version of the next iPhone. Apple is pretty well known for their level of secrecy leading up to product announcements, so this kind of thing has got to have Jobs going absolutely nuts.
Anyways the guy that found it contacted some tech blogs and one of them bit and paid the $10,000 that the guy was asking for for the phone. They've got a bunch of pictures and videos showing the design and the internals. By all appearances it's legit.
Personally, I like the new design (I hope they stick with it, the flat back would be very nice to have!), and it seems that Apple is finally giving people that major upgrade that they've been begging for since the 3g came out; better screen, front facing camera, bigger battery, a flash for the camera, etc.

I'd even go so far as to say that the shape is distinctly Sony Ericsson-esque.
And yet I'll probably hold out for it. My current one is in dire need of replacement, but here I am, being patient.
It's a definite departure from the current design, but I really like it. I've been waiting to see what the new iPhone brings before I decide if I'm jumping ship to something like the HTC Evo 4g or sticking with the iPhone. The improved screen and better battery life were my two biggest desires, so I may just end up staying with the iPhone later this year.
I bet Steve Jobs is furious right now.

Even if they did mind it wouldn't matter

Of course, that being said....I suspect it's probably an intentional leak

It doesn't look so comfortable in the pocket.

Of course if you don't believe me, you could always take Apple's word that it's real
