I hope your guy was misinformed. My Verizon store tried to tell me the same thing and I told them on the Razr HD comes in white, so he checked his system and said, "Wow, you are right...I wonder why I thought it was in white, too". I then heard his manager say, "It's always embarrassing when the customer knows more than us".
Anyway, I got mine in black...but would have gone for white if it was there. Obviously one of our reps is wrong. I hope it's yours.
I let them activate it but I had to come back to work so I put the SIM card back in my current phone and will play with it tonight.
I do have one question for anyone if they have a minute...when you go into apps settings, at the bottom (at least on the regular maxx) there is something that shows how much memory you've used for apps, and how much is available. Can someone post what the available number is? On the regular Maxx they limit you to 2 gigs of the total memory.
