|  Is the 8800 Blue or Black?
Please Login to Remove! I have seen people say blue and people say black! All of the press pictures and the cingular box shows it as black. Which is it?

I have the Dark Blue one. The blue version has a stronger processor and secret stealth technology. They were oringinally ordered for the CIA and NSA but because of budget restraints, they had to go with the basic black version.lol,just startin mess! | | Offline

The front of my 8800 is black except for the bottom face that says Cingular, it might be the darkest blue but looks black. The back of my 8800 is dark, dark blue. You can only tell it is dark blue by holding it just right in the light. | | Offline

The really dark blue units like the Cingular 8800 and the 8700r can look black but they're definitely blue. I think that adds to the confusion. I've noticed that they look more blue when an IS is applied. | | Offline

I believe the 8800 from Tmobile UK is also Black. Anyone know where to get a black one that's unbranded and unlocked? | | Offline

Haven't done this myself so take it with a grain of salt as it's based on hearsay...
