It is possible that the back might need replacing to help accommodate the new antennas that will need to be inside the 3G iPhone.

If iPodObserver.com's source is correct, the redesigned iPhone back also drops the black plastic end piece that covers the antenna, and it appears that Apple will continue to offer an 8GB model.

It could be - there have been quite a few complaints on how 'comfy' the iPhone is to use - the 'rounded' back would help - not a fan of gloss though.

As a graphic designer, I don't see this to be a Photoshop work.

If it's a photoshop image, it's a really well done one..... I like the ones iClarified brought to our attention in Feb. https://iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=734
