Trading silver RAZR for black one...

I recently lost my black RAZR and lockline replaced it with a silver one. Needless to say, I'm not happy about this. They are being uncooperative and refuse to even tell me if anybody ever gets a black replacement phone.

Do you guys know of any way I can trade my silver one for a black one? Perhaps some of you sell lots of phones on ebay and could do a fellow hofo user a favor, or know of a store that is willing to trade...I am at my wit's end. If it isn't difficult, I might even go so far as to replace the housing with a black one, although I don't know where I'd buy an OEM housing...

Thanks for your input...I know lockline hasn't technically violated their contract with me, but I still find it a little irritating that they refuse to look for a black one for me.

EDIT forgot to mention, I haven't used the silver one at all, I haven't even powered it on with a SIM card in it; I am using other handsets for now in the hopes that I can trade this brand new silver RAZR for a black one somehow...

I bought a BLK v3 from Sam's Club that turned out to be defective. Returned it for the Silver one.

Silver doesn't take fingerprints like the BLK one. The only difference I've found is the calculator looks a little different.

But it seems you're pretty set on black... How about Skins?:

You could buy a black skin or a really unique color/pattern for around $10.00.

Thanks, but skins don't work for me - there's a sentimental reason I have to get this phone replaced with a black one, if you know what I mean =)

The worst case scenario is sell the silver phone and buy a black handset...but I wonder if there's ANY other way as that would cost me time and money.

Thanks though!

They do have the black ones. I am expecting one tomorrow as a warranty replacement. Its what I got them to offer me for a 6230

Thanks dman - I wonder why they got so defensive about even telling me if any black replacements were availble. Mind dropping me a line when you receive your black handset in the mail?
