Default Question about "OEM" housings on eBay

So I searched eBay for 8330 OEM Housing and came up with a few pages of results...most of which are the Black or White housings

However I found several Orange, Green, Purple, Blue, etc... that said OEM housing. The pics looked just like the normal housings but different colors however I was under the impression the only housing colors made by RIM were Silver/Pink/Red/Grey

Are these housings I am finding actually OEM? I am specifically interested in the White/Black/Blue ones for myself and the Purple one for my wife...but I really don't want a cheesy 3rd party knock off.

There have been many people to post pics of the other colors here on cb. Some look good, others do not. Have you checked with Berryware they have some nice looking ones also. Here's their link...

Those are nice but definitely a bit out of my price range...

I really can't stand the thought of not using an OEM housing though...thats really my biggest issue...If the ones I found on ebay that say OEM aren't actually OEM then I don't want to order them

Painted Housing Blackberry Curve 8330 Metallic Black - eBay (item 250427468664 end time Jun-17-09 19:25:10 PDT)

I ordered that one, same name and products from berryware. If you're afraid of purchasing that, wait about a week or so and I'll give you a review on their productions.

It'll actually be about a week before I can anyway so that would be great! Thanks!
