Anyone notice?

Hey guys,

Did anyone else notice that there seem to be two different keyboards on the black G1? There's a black plastic-looking keyboard in some pics/videos, and a silvery metallic-looking one in others. Do we know which we're getting? Good money is on the black one, though I have to say, the silvery one looks a little cooler to me...

I think the silvery one has clear-looking buttons, too, but that may just be bad memory.

I noticed that as well. Myself, i would prefer the black keyboard.

Yes, I would like to know this as well...I bought the black thinking it was solid black including the keyboard. I initially wanted the brown, but I saw a pic of the brown with a silver/gray keyboard, and I decided against it for that reason only. If given the choice like the pics on T-Mobile's site led me to believe, I didn't want a two-tone phone.

Well that could be it then, it was probably poor lighting. I dont remember where i saw the pic at, but will try to look it up.

By George, you've cracked it! (I don't say by George often, or in seriousness, by the way). I'm a little embarrassed that I didn't notice the WHOLE TIME I was watching the videos on Youtube, I was looking at a brown phone! but it sure looks like that was the case. Good catch.
