I just heard back this morning. I had to delete part of a sentence that I thought didn't matter, but might be to revealing regarding the source. Perhaps I'm being too paranoid, but it doesn't affect anything, information- wise.

Steven,
I haven't heard anything about "upgraded specs",but if there are,it'll be a larger battery,most likely. The one I had was 1850,I believe,which is well above the GSM model. I definitely haven't heard anything about a different processor or GPU.
Phones going to testers this late in the game is pretty routine. The iPhone 4 was in testers' hands up to 48 hours before release,mainly just to continue testing CDMA. There wasn't any problem,they were just taking advantage of the time they had. On the release date,I'm hearing the 3rd for release from some people, while others are telling me that the 3rd is for pre-ordering. Xxxxxxxxxx (deleted) [I won't] hear the final decision first-hand,so I'm not sure. I do know that about a month or a little more ago the 17th was locked in as the date for release,and then it was changed to the earlier date for the 3rd. I'd heard that the 3rd was definite,but these things tend to become "undefinite",unfortunately.
Xxxxxxxx
