Vietnam already have prototype of CDMA version of iPhone

Apple Releases iPhone CDMA version of the message widely circulated in the past few days, it seems that its authenticity is not questioned. Now, there are an unknown site in the exaggeration, claiming that to get a test prototype of CDMA version of iPhone. Although most of these pictures blurred, but the basic is to determine the aircraft's design and not much different from the existing iPhone 4.

In these latest leaked images, the iPhone appears with a designation of N92DVT, a codename that provides some insight into the production status and possible identity of the handset. According to information previously release by John Gruber on his Daring Fireball blog, N92 is the internal codename  given to the CDMA iPhone. The DVT portion of the name refers to Design Verification Testing, one of the final stages in product development. This is the stage at which the iPhone 4 was lost and found in a bar earlier this year.

The source post also claims the CDMA smartphone from Apple includes a micro-SIM slot and suggests this rumored handset may have support for global roaming. This claim fits in nicely with an earlier rumor that points to an Apple smartphone with both CDMA and GSM/HSPA capabilities. Unfortunately, the presence of this micro-SIM slot can not be verified by the leaked photos. Higher quality shots are not available as the Vietnamese repair shop no longer has the phone in its possession.

In the end, these leaked images show little more than an iPhone-4 like handset that may or may not be photoshopped to have the appearance of the rumored N92 CDMA variant. While the timing is right for a DVT prototype to surface just prior to its big early 2011 launch, I am not convinced that these images are legitimate. Sound off in the comments and let us know what you think of these leaked photos. Are they real or a really good fake?
