Recent purchasers? Since it has only been out approx 3 weeks I guess we are all recent purchasers

. I'm getting 500 - 1000 pages and the red light issue has been intermitent with mine.
I've already ordered a new one (exchange) as I've had problems with the case.
Are the "newer" ones the black ones? Is there a difference in battery life with white vs. black? Does the black have different or "newer" batteries? I believe the white ones were the first ones out and the black afterwards. Perhaps different batches or types of batteries are in the black?
The new one I've ordered is black, my old one is white.
