Built-in WiFi? "What's with the character creation"? Did you just crawl from under a rock? The XBOX did "copy" that from the Wii, but that was done in a system update a WHILE ago....Built-in WiFi...did you think a system update will give you that?
If the phone's ROM structure follows the structure of previous builds (which should) then getting rid of the boot-up sound shouldn't be hard at all. It should be as simple as deleting the .mp3 from system/media
No they didn't. All you need is either:
a) the SDK and take screenshots from there or,
b) have a rooted phone and use the Screenshot application.

It's fairly simple. Plus, given that the kernel shows Drizzy-Drake (who is a dev in XDA), plus the software version shows as 1.0.0.A6288, it is most likely a screenshot from a G1 running Hero or a rooted Hero.

Here's the screenshot I sent to Engadget from my G1's edited build.prop:

Ummm...you guys know that anyone could modify that field to show anything right? All you have to do is edit the build.prop file in the system folder. I just emailed the Engadget guys a screenshot of the About Phone screen from my G1 showing the "model" as HTC SuperDuperDoubleDragon.

C'mon now, just because is on the internet, it's not true.
Pink button? How dare you call it pink! =P

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I just switched to Sprint from Verizon about three months ago for the Pre. Then I went for the Hero about a week ago. Now, I miss my hardware keyboard and am thinking about switching to the Moment. I am still able to switch back to Verizon if I want and get the Droid when it arrives. Should I just trade up to the Moment when it comes out, see if I like it, and if not switch to the Droid? Or something else entirely? Help!"
