Nokia N96 to get a xenon flash? *UPDATE*

An Esato forum member got Nokia (NYSE: NOK) representative to tell him a little secret – Nokia N96 will get a Xenon flash. Here’s his/her full post:
Ok, this isn’t official news, but it’s as official as I can get
Our Nokia rep, who thinks we’re great told me something intriguing today.
He’s said the N96 hasn’t been given the complete green light yet (I’m guessing Nokia wanted to get something that resembles the real thing out in time for MWC).
And the delays are due to them adding (at the last minute) a Xenon flash, ala N82! Finally, an all in one phone with almost nothing (bar BlackBerry (NSDQ: RIMM)) missing!
From what I can tell of the marketing stuff he left for the N82, Xenon flashes seem to be Nokia’s next big push from now on, which is fine by me.
When you think about it, it makes sense that Nokia wants to make the N96 the real flagship all-in-one device. Why would the N82 make better photos than the company’s flagship device? Market segmentation? Ok, that makes sense, but still if we can’t get a better battery, put a Xenon flash inside Nokia. Will “please” help? 
UPDATE: It seems we have a first shot of the N96 with Xenon flash. Check it out after the break.

That sounds exciting, but in reality, how credible is a forum post?
(its a good dream though)
That will be great. But if this thing is real will it consume the 950 mAh battery?
i hope this is true, and if they can get a VGA screen, plus the fm transmiter in it then imma for sure get this
its a nice fake
I searched my HDD and found the original photo by a fluke, which was used as template to create this fake *lol
have a look and don’t get bluffed!

I retract my previous statement!
Oh.. well, thanks for bursting everyone’s bubble
OMG that would be great, the flash is also more far away from the lens then it was on the N82 that has the REDEYEZ problem.
If there is a xenon flash, I will promise that it will be my next phone.
