    Went to a T-Mobile store today to check out the new BB Curve 8320 in Sunset Orange. What the guy showed me looked so much like a red 8320. I looked at it long and hard but couldn't find ANY orange in there. I remember seeing pics of it on here and the pics showed a burnt orange 8320. Now, I realize that pics on a screen can look different that in person, but damn...that phone @ the TMobile store looks red, not orange. Even my daughter thought the color was red, not orange. Did anyone see one in person today? Is it just me? By the way, it still looks much better than the titanium and the gold color.

    I have not seen it in person, but I have seen comparison pics with the ATT Crimson... and it is definitely Orange when side by side with the Crimson!

    I'm telling you. It looks like nobody's burnt orange. Unless their lighting was awful. The pics I've seen left NO doubt that it was a burnt orange.

    I can see what you mean though. Try googling blackberry sunset and if you look at the pictures there, they first seem red. Once you start staring, you get to see the orange.

    I guess side by side the orange stands out more.

    Hmm, im kinda disappointed. I was looking forward to changing my housing to this from Titanium...I dont know anymore

    lol I doubt he tried to rip me off. To my knowledge, TMO isn't supposed to have a red one. I believe Verizon has a red curve. Mebbe the shipments were swapped. lol I totally agree that the pics show it to be orange without even coming close to looking like red. I must be losing it.

    Edit
    The phone I saw today looked like the red one on the right...totally.

    You're right, Noticee. They should display it properly. They had the damn thing behind the counter. Not even on the floor. WTF? Do they WANT to sell the daggone device or not?

    I like it. It looks better than the gold or silver. I like it more than the crimson. I will admit it doesn't look very orangy but it looks like sunset.

    it's not supposed to be orange. it's supposed to be red. the actual name is simply "sunset", to differentiate it from the "crimson" they've previously released for AT&T's 8310 and Sprint's 8330.

    it's a very bright, nearly ferrari signature red.

    They could have made it more orange if they really wanted to differentiate. It just doesn't look as orange in person as it does it the pics. In the pics it looks like a burnt orange.

    Well a sunset is made of oranges, reds, pinks, and golden tones...so in a way the color is pretty accurate...lol

    my friend has the sunset curve, looks more like a modern red when compared to my sprint red 8330, the 8330 and 8310 are more of a burgundy

    also everyone should keep in mind that this wasnt marketed as a orange curve
