    The title is self-explanatory... Does this thing have a front-facing camera? I know that little circle in the upper right can't be the LED, because you'd never see the flashing with the clam shell closed.

    Here's the large image from BGR for reference:

    good call... or a light sensor maybe too

    but definitely NOT a cam lens... too tiny

    It is a small opening. But I wouldn't expect it to be a high MP or maybe not even auto-focus if it's just for teleconferencing. Are there any other models that have a "proximity sensor" that looks like that?

    Maybe I'm just looking for some redeeming value for this phone.

    Oh did it? I guess there's no redeeming value then. But I'm sure it'll find a place in the market.

    Any idea what it senses? Is it just there to determine if it's open or closed?

    Actually that hole is for draining the water out after you get pissed when 6.0 crashes and you throw it in the lake or try to flush it...

    Good of RIM to think ahead! LOL..
