Default The new colors are posted
The new colors are now on the web site, and boy are they ugly. With the exception of the new red, the 08 color choices were disappointing. I was hoping the three new ones would make up for it They don't.

The red is nice, but I am with ianchris1. Black is still the best.

I think they got a good deal from Duracell for that Copper Top Color! I'm surprised Duracell is not sueing them.

Later, Kasper.

While the internet color may not be too appealing, I'll reserve judgement until I see them in person.

The pix on the PC just don't do any of them justice.
