Could that be the next-gen iPhone?  French site iPhon.fr received these images from a source described as “unverified and anonymous”, which never fills you with too much confidence, but the handset is similar in size, color and shape to what’s been predicted for the 3G update.  Going by that image, there’s no flash for the rear-mounted camera, and the back plate already looks pretty scuffed.

Of course, with basically no validation it’s entirely possible that that could be a Photoshop effort or

some other fake.  Several society have already suggested that, in size, and shape, it looks a lot like LG’s Vu.  The Apple logo on the back has plus come in for some criticism, with the primary doubt being that it looks slightly crooked.

Photo editing?  Fake handset?  Let us know whether you’re convinced - and, whether you are, whether you prefer that or the first-gen iPhone - in the comments.
