I heard june or july in silver how original. I agree on the black(but then they might do silver and pink ) but Verizon might make the business customers mad. but the curve/8300 / 8330/8320 its a business device so much it has a camera which some business clients cant have and 2 internal speaker versus the 1 in the 8830. any ways i like my 8830 and xv6800.
