It seems as though several people(including myself) have contacted T-MO about the color of the 8320. Most CSRs are saying that it is a dark grey color but all the pics we are seeing are gold. Does anyone have an explanation for this discrepancy?

I hate the gold color. I wish that they had chosen a basic color. Honestly, I am thinking of just getting an iPod touch and keeping my TMO cell instead of buying a gold bb. This is really disappointing after waiting all these months. I will try to keep calm until the 24th and hopefully I will be pleasently surprised.

I know some of you do not like the gold but it isn't that bad. I did find out there is no announced pricing for the 8320. Also T-Mobile will offer both colors. The pale gold is their exclusive color. I posted the 8320 in the sleeve if you wanted to see it.

Here are the quick hits about the 8320 that I am sure have been posted before.

Wi-Fi/HotSpot@Home capability
2MP Camera
Quad-band
Stereo Bluetooth
3.5mm Stereo headset
MicroSD (up to 4GB)
Media Player

Oh and I know this part should be posted in Pearl news but yes they will release a red, blue, and a pale gold 8100 Sept. 10th. No it is not the Pearl 2 just different colors. Anyway I do recommend the 8320. Thanks

Are you guys nuts. The phone has a gold tint because it was taken under incandescent light and the white balance on the camera was not adjusted for incandescent light. I bet if you adjust the white blanace properly, it will be silver like the ATT version.

oh were sorry, I guess we were just going off the fact that the person who owns the phone and took the pictures clearly stated that it was gold.....

[jcbauerca]

ok touche, I forgot about that but the pictures all seem to have the wrong white balance

[luckykelleyk]

yes I do agree with you. It looks a little funny. but it still looks a hell of a lot better than the first pics. those made it look hideous.

Not sure if u guys saw this but Cellular Accessories - Apple, HTC, NEC, Samsung, Dopod/O2, Motorola, Nokia, SonyEricsson, Panasonic, So actually has the gold color 8320 faceplate. So there is a gold color coming out i would think. It looks alright, as i carry a sirocco gold also. Bling bling lol

I've seen a few when my T-Mobile reps were here -- it is gold, not flashy gold but gold and I don't think the white balance is off in my eyes...

I never said I was a photographer just a blackberry geek. So here is a picture of the box it will arrive in....please note the pale gold 8320. Now the manual inside it shows the silver/titanium/steel colored blackberry.

ewwwww. This is starting to get discouraging. I guess a black skin it is.....

Believe it or not, not all females are into the phone bling. (not to mention, that fad is pretty much over). I wouldn't hate it so much if it werent for the grey buttons. The 8310 housing is titanium color it looks SO much better! I still have a few ounces of hope....

Can you take pictures of the pictures in the manual? so we can at least see if it looks identical to the 8310? and to also give us hope of the titanium version

Yep, that gold/pewter color wouldn't look so bad with black buttons. I still hope t-mo will offer both titanium and gold as their exclusive though and hopefully the dust issue has been fixed in 8320.

That is what happens when you take them with a roughly used 8100 and in a hurry

Can everyone please stop making negative comments about the pictures? And thank you goatspike for the pics.

"roughly used" haha. Yeah, mine was "roughly used" too before I got a skin. its pretty, but its a slippery little thing. (not to mention that everytime it gets jostled the sim comes loose)... looking forward to my curve, gold or not!
