Are you serious? Considering the fact it's borderline illegal what AT&T and Apple have done, I don't think iPhone users need to respect anything. Hell, I even joined the class-action lawsuit against Apple for the re-locking on the phones. Thats why they are having such a hard time finalizing a deal with Europe because they don't lock phones over there and Apple is getting their panties in a wad. I say hack the iphone all day and night, do whatever we want to do to it. We paid full price for the device and it is our perrogative to do whatever we want to it.

"8800: Due out late Feb, Early March. CINGULAR ONLY. No Wi-Fi or camera. Does includes GPS, SD slot. 1400 mah battery. Edge only. All the other 4.2 goodies. Slim form-factor like 8100."

$50 says this information isn't accurate...

Hmm...Maybe refresh your screen?

I am looking at it right now listed between the 7105 and the black 8100.

Also, the price isn't $199.99...

White Pearl: $149.99
Black Pearl: $149.99

I would post a screenshot, but can't here. Maybe I will link it.

Okay...So question...

Why would RIM produce an ALL WHITE pearl (Allegedly), however, on the back panel, they would leave it BLACK around the camera lens? I mean, yeah, some may say because of the "reflectiveness" of the white around the lens, but I don't buy it.

IMO its an aftermarket back cover that has been painted white or it has a "skin" on it. Either way, it's ugly as hell and RIM should be EMBARRASSED if that is an actual "white pearl" rear cover.

You are correct. Except it is an 8700 TMobile served device, just with a swapped up VodaFone front housing.

The work around trick on the website is not to make it "free". I just want to clarify that was not the purpose for the work around. The "fooling of the site" has to do with just putting in information to make the site believe that you are a Canadian user on Telus or Bell. Yes, this is a free program, however there are many people south of the border who want to play around too and this was simply the way to tell them it was possible.
