I've been waiting for an Android phone to hit Verizon for a while, so I've been following some mobile phone blogs. This post from Boy Genius Report was interesting to me on the cell phone forensics front.
One of Cellebrite's selling points for forensic use is that they often get previews of new devices in order to get their units up to speed for use in the carrier's stores. The photos in the BGR post (if real) certainly give some credibility to that statement. I wonder if other cell forensic suites get similar updates.

How does Cellebrite do that?
They have official contracts with vendors to access source code of phone prior to release.
This is mainly due the commercial UME36 product - which there is no competition for.

On another note, working with celebrite is a fail experience. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. When your working forensics in the public sector you want results, not headache. Got a tracphone or virgin phone? Won't work period, got some off model or something people haven't heard of? Which is about half the phones out there, doesn't work. So now you have to rely on taking digital pictures of the phone's screen and/or imaging the SD Card and parsing out the evedentiary data you need.
And yet another one (HTC Incredible) by Cellebrite
