You misunderstood me, I'm saying that people will want, and pay more for other colored phones, just like the pink razr. If someone owns a black pearl already, and wants a white one, they are going to go out and buy it for $300, and probably sell their old one to someone else. The supply of the new phones will be lower, and the demand will be higher than said demand, which is why it will be more expensive, and people will pay it.
I agree with you that most people that already own a pearl would rather have interchangable housings than to buy a whole new phone, but which do you think would be easier for RIM to have competition with, someone else making cheaper housings, or entire phones? The latter won't happen, the former definitely would.
