Anyone have pictures of the graphite model?

[shure2]

In the interest of those getting their desire from mobilephonesdirect I thought it would be useful if someone can post a picture of the graphite model so we know what it looks like (the only sell the graphite option)

thanks

I spoke to mobilephonesdirect again today and they are saying that what they are classing as Graphite is the one shown on their website.

Which is what everyone else is calling brown.
While on the phone to them they said they had called HTC and they were told that they are NOT getting the silver one. (which is opposite to what they told me last week)

I think that they've just decided to call the brown one graphite to confuse everyone

The guy at customer support told me that if the phone I receive is not the same colour as the one shown on the website that I can return it.

TBH I don't think they even know

I'm the one who took the photos yesterday.

You're right about the color, I also think the color is more black then brown. If you watch it in daylight you can see a brown tint (the photos are taken under quite yellow fluorescent lamps).

By the way, the silver is not as shiny as it looks.

How come this silver color seems to be enigmatic? How come I don't see it at the usual retailers that will be offering the Desire? HTC didn't even make an official mention of it. Is it some kind of exclusive/special edition or what?

I thinks it's exclusive to some retailers, like PDAShop.be, they seem to offer the silver one exclusively.

On your photos, there are definitely docking pins on the bottom of the phones.

Do you know if the final version will have them?

HTC didn't even mention them... and i'm wondering about the different versions...

robertwebbe wrote on flicker that the silver model will be BelCompany exclusive!
Where do i preorder that if i need shipping to germany?

 

[robertwebbe]

The silver model will only be exclusive for the dutch retail.

I've taken two mores pictures:

About the docking pins; I've got different answers from HTC. One said the will be gone in the final model while another person says they wil stay. We will see.

Is graphite different to silver so?
mobilephonesdirect have told me they will be selling graphite sets and that the brown on their website is not the handset i would receive if i preordered.

I assumed by graphite they meant silver - but if robertwebbe is correct and silver is exclusive to another retailer, then graphite may be another colour we haven't seen yet?

There is another version that is clearly black, so calling the brown one black would be confusing, even though it does look more black than brown.
