Leaked iPhone Bezel Actually for Creative Zii Egg?

Back in May, an image of an "Apple iPhone 3Gen 2009" bezel appeared on Chinese parts supplier websites. This led many to believe that the new iPhone would adopt a slightly different design with a higher earpiece. As it turns out, it appears the part was real but mislabeled.

CNet Asia provides a hands on with Creative's Zii Egg and provides this photo (above). The Zii Egg is a multi-touch iPod touch-like device that runs Google's Android operating system. The device, though, bears a strong resemblance to the leaked bezel images, suggesting that it had simply been mislabeled all along.

Why does it show the EDGE symbol, dialer app and bars if it is an iPod-like device?

Neat, my first submission. I'm surprised this one wasn't noticed earlier! I'm usually late to the party...

I fully expect to hear everyone that said they loved the new case back when they thought it was for the iPhone to now claim that they think it looks ugly.

That made my day unexpectedly. I miss having a front facing VGA camera on my phone, it'll be nice to get that back on a sweet, open-OS based device.
The original leak and subsequent thread is hilarious to read in hindsight. Must be some let down peeps.

Actually I noticed the similarity to the earlier 'iphone' design when I first saw an image of the zii (around tuesday/wednesday)
Maybe I should have mentioned something then :o
