My prediction of what the 8700f will be like?

I predict it'll be pretentious and stuck-up!

As for the color, I predict that it will be white, and I also predict that it will have an exclusive feature offered only on the French version: A pop-out/slide-out "flag pole". The purpose of this is clear; when you're in a life-threatening situation, you can extend the "flag pole" and wave your 8700f over your head to surrender to "the enemy"!!!

The same color as Barney. Purple

I kind of like the black and orange colour scheme. The background image is pretty appealing as well.
I would buy one if avail here, but this brings up a fear of mine, I hope to all holy goodnes the T-Mobile version doesn't have Pink accents!

That really does look nice. Very sleek and I agree the orange colour scheme looks great.

you guys are forgetting something. That is an AZERTY keyboard...have fun with that. Plus the case is the earlier case pictures from pinstack...8700g??? Oh its the 8700f

I heard Orange France is making it fire proof.

You mean to tell me that they're gonna give THE best looking 8700 model (out of the 3 we've seen so far) to THE FRENCH?!?!?

How in the HECK is that fair?!?!?

I mean, all the French ever do is go around with an attitude, creating overly-pretentious cuisine, surrendering to people, and insulting Americans!!!!

What. Ever. After this insult against RIM's bread & butter customers, we darn well BETTER see a version of that particular housing design here in the good ol' U.S. of A.! T-Mobile, Verizon, Sprint, Nextel, I don't care who, but SOMEBODY Stateside better get that sleek, black & chrome beauty, or I'm gonna be madder 'n Hell!!!

Q: How many Frenchmen does it take to defend Paris from an invasion?

A: We don't know, it's never been tried!
