Motorola i880 / i885

ok what the hell is motorola thinking? I talked to a motorola iden support agent today and they said the only color the phone will come in is plum. I have seen the phone in black as well as silver so what happened to those colors. this plum color is so ugly it makes me not want to even buy the phone. Someone please tell me I was misimformed and this phone will have a silver or black edition.
They also said the phone is set to be realesed oct. 15 not november.
