Leaked Photos of Prototype N92 Verizon iPhone?
Previously unheard of site RichyRich claims to have some photos of a prototype N92 iPhone. N92 is the iPhone code number that is believed to be Apple's Verizon-compatible CDMA phone. This is from August, 2010:
But I do know that engineering-wise, the wheels are turning on N92, the CDMA variant of the iPhone 4. It's certainly not in production yet, and hasn't reached DVT status (device verification test - like Gray Powell's infamous stolen unit), but it is, a few little birdies claim, at EVT (engineering verification test). That's one step below DVT, which is one step below production.
The small gallery of photos claim to depict a DVT N92 -- which would be a step closer to mass production.
The images are reported to have originated in a Vietnamese repair shop, but no further source is given. The photos aren't particularly revealing, but the design appears identical to the currently shipping iPhone 4.

I wonder how it ends up in a repair shop if it's still in engineering testing stage?

Nah, there's another step between DVT and steady state production: PVT/ramp. The five engineering stages are: proto, EVT, DVT, PVT/ramp, steady state.

Legit photo or not, it's time to level the playing field with Android.
Not only do we need a Verizon iPhone, but a Sprint and T-Mobile iPhone too.

Is there any proof that this is a CMDA phone?
As far as I know, they don't use sim cards - surely they could have provided a shot of the side that the sim-slot should be.

If it really is a CDMA iPhone, all they need to do is show us a complete photo of the band. It should vary slightly from the other iPhone as the frequency plans for AT&T and Verizon won't match up exactly on either 2G or 3G speeds.
Not conclusive if it's a world phone.
