I have never understood why most phone makers only offer black or grey phones. On occasion, you can get red or maroon, but for the most part its black or gray you get to choose from in the mobile industry. A few phone makers like LG and Motorola are known for offering color options.

Sprint has announced a new color option for the Blackberry Curve 8830 called Inferno. The new color is a bright orange that any University of Texas graduate will like to own. Other than the new orange color, other features are the same.

The device has a QWERTY keyboard, GPS, email access, web surfing, 3G connectivity and Bluetooth. The phone measures 4.2-inches x 2.4-inches x 0.63-inches and offers 5.9 hours of talk time. The inferno orange Curve is available now for $49.99 after instant and mail-in rebates.
