OS 6.0 leaked or clever photoshop?

Supposedly, the above images you see depict the still a ways away OS 6.0. At first glance, I kinda of like it. I mean, it’s a tad cartooney, buy definitely a lot more “modern” looking than any past RIM UI’s. Some further tweaking needs to be done though before I’d call it “finished”.

Of course, with leaked shots on something as large as this, naysayers will come out in droves. At this point, I also happen to be one of those naysayers. As BBLeaks, CrackBerry, and many commentors across both sites have noted, the screenshots look eerily similar to the “concierge app” shown off at DevCon. Not to mention, th e overall look while progress, doesn’t quite follow RIM’s traditional standards. Of course, they could be taking new steps into uncharted territories.

As cool as it has the potential to be, I think these claimed OS 6.0 images are fake. I just hope RIM has some rather large UI updates like this in store for the real OS 6.0. What’s your call?
