For all those out there who need tethering. but cannot wait for there providers to roll out support, there is a very easy way for you to enable tethering on most networks across the world for free.

T-Mobile Netherlands Lists 5 New iPhone Models

T-Mobile Netherlands has listed 5 new iPhone models in its activation system, according to a post by Tweakers.net

The screenshot shows a 16GB in black and white, a 32GB in black and white, as well as another marked NTB.

The new iPhone has also shown up on The Carphone Warehouse Invetory system and on the AT&T support system.

T-Mobile New iPhone Leak

This shows a 16GB model like the majority of leaks, making me believe the Canadian Store leak is fake.

New iPhone To Be Called iPhone Video?

According to a anonymous tip, I assume from an AT&T worker, the new iPhone is said to be called the iPhone Video.
This could link back to the Carphone Warehouse’s Inventory holder which referenced the new phone as “iPhone32GbV3″ and iPhone 16GbV3″, I’m guessing the V would either stand for version or perhaps video.

iPhone Video
As with all leaks and tip offs take it with a pinch of salt as nothing is confirmed until Monday at WWDC.
