No its real. But will carriers actually do it??? I could see AT&T using this as an opportunity to sell devices and "force" everyone with an 8700c to upgrade to an 8800 if they want the new features. Users with the 8100 move to the 8110 (when available). Not many users know you can swap carriers firmwares and I assume AT&T would take advantage of it.

Whoever posts 4.5 first, gets my download!!!! I am using 4.3.1 and it is wonderful!
