brown or black??

quick poll for all g1 kids
did you order brown or black??
i only had the option of brown when i ordered, but seeing the black ones, im glad i got brown. it matches my lighter perfectly LOL

black all the way! white will get dirty all the time and you will have to clean it all the time... and the brown one looks like poop. LOL!

thats where ur wrong my friend brown is teh hawtness!!i love that the keypad is silver

I really wanted black but I ordered brown since it was the only one available to me. I got it yesterday and I'm glad I got brown. Its sexy looking.

I ordered the black one. Can't wait til it comes!

Is it that same coppery-brownish color of the T-Mobile Shadow? I had one of those, that was a nice color...

g1 is a g1
im on an employee acct and in order to receive one early brown was the only color available, however it doesnt look to bad its a dark brown cant really tell until you get up close

bronze(brown) definitely has an appealing color and now i'm wondering if i should have ordered black.....I want a side by side comparison of all 3 colors

I have a black toothbrush, does that give it away? lol

Haha black all the way... looks much cleaner...

Yeah it does and hides the blemishes on phone better

If I have the option, I only get two kinds of devices: Black or Silver.
Bronze/brown doesn't sound good to me, and white always looks like it was made by Fisher-Price. I choose black because:
-It doesn't show dirt as easily
-It goes with everything, black never goes out of style, while other colors do.
-It doesn't draw attention to itself
-It's easy on the eyes
-Black doesn't fade or start to yellow over time

I was an employee upgrade so I only had brown to choose from..I wanted black but the brown actually looks great. Mine comes this thursday and I cant wait!

Hate brown, went for black!

Black, brown is hard to see the.keypad!!

LOL! talk about a bump.. way to resurrect a thread that's over a year old!! gj
I totally agree tho. originally got brown on release date last year... within 14 days it was put into paper weight mode lol. returned it for the black one and have been happier ever since..

What's a bum?

bump* it's when you bring a thread that's fallen down a page or two back to the first page by posting in it, "bump" it back to the top

Silver or Black ?

Seems that where I am getting my phone from is getting them in both silver or black .. wondering which would be better .. any comments ?

black and only black

black yeah otherwise you will get bored with it fast trust me looks at p1 ;D

Black otherwise you will be singing "Back to Black"...
I have seen a lot of videos and photos of X1, Black seems the only option for me.

Silver for me.

Black

I looked at them both in the store and chose silver. Black is so boring

Looks like o2 UK will be silver and Vodafone black..
I like the look of the silver, yet wish my athena was black??

The black one looks better when closed but when you open up the keyboard it just looks awful. Looks like two different phones (silver and black) stuck together. So silver for me!

Hehe, here in a international forum people say black and in Swedish forums everyone says silver...

I want the black, my mate wants the silver. I'm guessing were gonna end up with whatever Vodafone offer on day one.

black for me, though. My notebook is black, and I want the whole set to be the same color

anyone know of a side by side comparisson ? I thought I saw once a picture of the black one with the keys looking like the UX390N with the black keys and blue lights .. Haven't been able to find that picture again. Maybe it was a dream.

What Color is your Steak ?

I keep seeing pictures of one with a red plastic .. Mine is all black.

Ive seen the red one to Diane don't like it much and there is a white one and of course the black one that we have if you look on the side of the box it has the colour down as carbon

Just googled "dell mini 5 color".
There are many colors.
But it's only black one for sale and beta test.

Hi all,
Well the ones from 02 are Carbon Black to which suits me fine as if it was any other colour i would have had to buy the Carbon Black covers as it's the colour i would of wanted. Also except for the battery door i don't really see how the backs are easily swappable either. I actually have a feeling when production is in full swing you choose your colour and are then stuck with it where as originally i thought they where going to be swappable.

Where are my Black on Black MT4G users?

We see a couple threads on who has which colors, but see none about the Black one. Not a bashing thread to say black is better than the other colors (we're a big MT4G family). Just who has black and why picked over the other colors? In my own opinion black just looks sleek and official. I love the other colors they look nice but I just look at them as playful/kid colors (agian.. my opinion only). MT4G isn't really concidered as a business phone as much as a Blackberry would be, but it gives it that business type feel and look... Your turn...

I have the black one, im constantly in meetings with new clients so dont like have bright phones :/
lol i wrote that before i read the last part of your post... looks like we agree on the business look of it ..

I have a black one. The red one looked nice too but I like more understatements.... Plum and White looked too tacky for me

I picked the black. When I checked out the other color demo phones I noticed that the hard rubber is painted, not fully stained and black underneath the color layer. Some of the red and plum models had scratches that showed the black coming through. I figured with a black to start with scratches won't show as much.
I guess I could have bought a case to make sure I never get any scratches but what would have been the point of getting a colored one if it's covered by a case anyway, right?

Great. Now I'm re-thinking my decision to go with white again. Curse you. Curse you all!

Have you ever thought that clients might look favorably on a white/metal/black one? Perhaps they may even be more apt to *remember* you. They may even consider you an out-of-the-box kind of guy, perhaps even ever so slightly fashion forward *shudder*.
Is it really the case that everyone in the business community carry around black phones (even in LA)? I see this raised now and then and I just kind of cringe.

Isn't that what ties are for??

I think that the Black on Black color was the best because it looked the most uniform.

I picked the black because I think it looks a bit sleeker. Would have loved to seen a silver/yellow color combo. Not to change the subject but what class sdcard did your blacks come with. Mine is class 2.

Hate white, plus hated the tri-color scheme on the white. Loved the red and the plum equally. Was going to go for the plum, but hubby surprised me and ordered the black.
Now that I look at it and played with it for 2 days, I really like the black. I think it looks classier.

I don't know. The first thing what I did when getting the phone was switching the SD card from 8 to 16 GB class 6.

Black phone to go with the black battery cover. Makes no sense that they wouldn't color match with the others, you get the black back no matter what. Still, aside from the Nexus, every phone I've had in the past 5 years have been black.
And mine came with a class 4 card.

I got the black one cause that's all the store I went to had lol. Seriously though I thought about the red one but I some times put a case on it so what would be the point of a colored phone plus the whole scratches thing that someone mentioned earlier. And the white looked kinda cheap and plasticy just my opinion though.

Yup, i wanted white cause i thought it would be pimp like the white EVO but when i noticed it was half white, half black, and the battery cover was silver, i couldnt stand the thought of owning it.
I just ordered my black one because it was 50/50 white/black for me.

Black on black was the most classiest one. If they had an all white MT4G...

I wanted black/red. But went with white because of the case they ad available for it. The Flex Protect one, with the grey gel insert, and the white protective hard case. I thought the piano finish on the white was nice. And, after going back and looking at them again, only the black woul dmake me change my mind now.
If only they had a flex case in black...

I got the black one because it was the only one that was available at Costco. It's cool though, the Black MT4G looks pretty classy.

I bought the black one because I purchased the white mytouch3g because it was the only color at the time and always wanted the black one.
Very happy! It looks professional and I wouldn't go with any other color.

I got the black because it matches the theme of my truck lol

Any UK DHD Black Edition user?

I was wondering anyone here from UK has the Black edition of the DHD from Orange.
I was trying to search for some real life photographs of it without result.
From stocks image, it looks pretty awesome, and I was thinking of getting it, but it would suck if there is a big orange logo stamped on it. Anyone can confirm?
Thanks

the only orange branding on it, is on the battery cover (easly replaceable)

Thanks. I just looked up the bottom cover on ebay. £14 a cover still a rip off !

I had it in my presence for a day or so...
Unfortunately when I compared it to my brown DHD, I must say I much preferred the brown look. The orange logo in my opinion is a bit of an eyesore but its not that big.

May I ask why in particular? Or it is just a preference of colour personally?

i have one and it much nicer than the brown (i have both)

Hi
i own the black edition, and yes the orange logo is not very nice, but i plan to get another cover for it...
Anyway, the phone is quite nice, i must admit i've not seen (live) the brown one, but this is quite nice in black...

since the logo is printed on the bottom cover, we can replace luckily. But the thing is I only found the coffee colour version of it. and its not cheap, 15-20quid for that tiny cover.

Honestly its my colour preference.
To me the brown just looks more full. It looks weighty and expensive.

Can you post some pix of your Black DHD mate?

My mates got a black one sim free no logos. Looks good but seems plain to me.

Most phones are black, this kind of brown colour gives you a sense of independence, it'll be very hard to come across something cheap that's brown not black.

I think the brown sort of shows different colour under different lighting, sometimes you even see it in silver. The black edition is totally matte black I think.
Where did you friend get the black version btw?

I got the brown version, and while I wanted the black version at first, the brown one looks sexier than I imagined. Too bad I use an otter box, so its black afterall^^

Can anybody with, if it's really true, a BLACK DHD be kind enough to post some pix please!!

yea, if anyone out here have access to the black and brown version and take a photo with them side by side, will be a very good comparision.

Just got a black DHD from Orange, compared to previous phones from them the branding is relatively unobtrusive. I've attatched a pic of the back panel that should give you some idea. Sorry about the quality but this was taken with a rubbish camera in poor lighting.
