I stopped by my local Microsoft Store (Tysons Corner, VA) today to ask when they thought they'd have the black 928 in stock. Turns out that they already had one on display and had just received their first shipment a couple of days ago.
I had wanted to see/feel the black in person before buying, and had wanted to purchase at the Microsoft Store because their warranty is a little better than Verizon's ($99 up front, $50 deductible per replacement, versus $170 over the life of the contract, $100 deductible per replacement).
My first impressions are positive, and I think that it'll be a fantastic upgrade over the Trophy once I get accustomed to the size.
