    I am looking very seriously at the FW and have a question about the FW. I was looking at the color choices and one choice was Titanium Gray. Looking at the site the Gray portion almost looks black. My question, is it Black? Thanks.

    Nope. It is a nice gray. Looks really nice as I had trouble between that and the black one.

    Unless Sony has changed it, the Titanium lid on FWs is also smoother than the black ones. They both have magnesium in them but using a tissue to clean off a Black cover leaves a trail of lint, but not on the Titanium gray. It's more like a darker silver mixed with grey -- and the inside keys are black, BTW, at least on the earlier FW series. Fingerprints show more on the Titanium, though, precisely because of its smoothness, but you can use the tissue, etc. ;-)
