Now that the movie is available on DVD, can anyone confirm or confute the NX-01 rumour?

See for yourself... there's only one more shot of the models, and it's blurry and behind a head. Unless I forgot about another observation lounge scene.

Let's assume that there is an NX-model on display. Why would they have put it there?
1. Enterprise wasn't supposed to happen until "First Contact". Now the future is almost identical to the one we know, only that there is a ship named Enterprise that would have carried a different name before the time travel. But Cochrane was so impressed by the visitors from the future that he decided to name the ship Enterprise. Actually this is one change to the timeline I could accept. Anything with more of an impact may be more realistic, since we know that several humans were killed on Earth in FC and that people's lives were changed in an unpredictable fashion. But we know that the post-FC Federation is essentially the same as before FC. If there had been more severe changes to the space program in the 21st/22nd century (*Akira*-prise), the future would be completely different and would never converge to the future we know (second law of thermodynamics). On the other hand, with such a stance ("it was all changed anyway"), B&B could decide to allow anything to happen in Enterprise, in which they were already quite productive.
2. Enterprise has always existed, and was missing only by accident on the Enterprise refit and the Enterprise-D wall. Well, while it may seem silly that two decorators made the same mistake, this option would work too. Most of all, it would work for casual fans who could not distinguish different timelines and who might ask in one of those chats, "Mr. Berman, where was Enterprise NX-01 on the Enterprise-D ship wall?" -- "You must imagine that it has always been there. Enterprise is supposed to be an integral part of Star Trek's history. Only that I and Brannon sometimes forget that." Oh well, without the last sentence.

If there is space for 12 ships, I would think it's the 6 we've seen before (nil, A, B, C, D, E), with each ship represented twice, once on each side of the room.
And I've seen the DVD and I can't see the NX-01.
