Wow, their unique color choices were what made this system so marketable. You're right, if they are limiting their color choice to only black (like nearly every other manufacturer), they are severely hampering themselves in the market. I suppose in your situation, at least getting a black handset and stripping it for components is better than nothing. I'm still curious about the out of box failure though. I would think that they would at least offer a black one under warranty. There I go assuming.

As for the French documentation, that surprises me as well. If they want to market to other countries, they surely should be prepared to support the language(s) spoken. I'm disappointed in them.
