I returned my black one but when I did, I was still in the 2 week trial period.
Im actually regretting it now. After a little more research I find out that the white g1 in the US is not going to have a silver keyboard but instead its going to have the same keyboard as the bronze one... the UK version is perfect why would they change it? Well if its mugg ill just send it back -_-'.... again.

They are the same phone mate just taken from a different angle, we have a few white ones here. They are identical to the US ones
My roomate just got the white one, it is pretty cool, cept in some types of lighting it is hard to see the keyboard.

Question for all those with the white version in the US, does it come with the standard version of RC30 already active?

Just got it. It looks alright but the keyboard is unusable in the light. Will be returning it back...again. It comes with RC29. I did find a little surprise in the box a 3.5mm headphone adapter. I guess the new g1's are being shipped with those.

Yes they have 3 in stock now and my order is still "pending approval" Handtec also has them but the will ship them tomorrow.
Handtec also have them in stock now and are offering car charger, case & protectors as freebies for £394.
Only problem (for me) is all these sim-free phones are white.

Expansys.ro offer it in Brown.
White handsets......
no no no no no no no no
Not sure but I think it's better than Brown
Ordered mine with Handtec... usually a great service

Does anyone here work at Best Buy? Curious if the white Evo has arrived in stores. What are the chances that this phone will ship with OTA already applied? Also, how early does Best Buy get to turn one on as a demo unit? I have one pre-ordered for the 11th and hope to get some info on it now.
=)
Hasnt come in yet... if i get it early ill post pics
My store has 2 white demo's, one functional, the other not. It's just a white battery cover, nothing special, the rest of the phone is the same, black bezel, etc.
Stock won't truely come in untill the 11th afaik.
Can you check to see what hardware version your demo is 02 or 03. Also is it an Epson Or Nova screen?
I saw the dummy phone at my best buy and it looks like more than the battery cover is white. It seems like the whole back bezel is also white so the phone looks half white half black from the side view. Pretty cool looking IMO.
OTA is meaningless now, its been rooted.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=718889
I for one am waiting for mine as well. Seems weird that the 11th is a sunday and they will get phones then.
Best Buy's new sales ad starts Sunday, Shipments come in alot on saturday night to prepare for Sunday.
As far as the model, I'll have to check.

I got my white one today. Does not have the OTA update. it was built on 6/25/10, rev 003, epson screen. i swapped my old one, and i could not believe how different
the screen looks. my 002 nova was super purple. looks fine if you have nothing to compare it to though. your best buy should probably have them today too.. they got the go ahead to start selling them early.

as soon as mine was powered on and enabled to my account it instantly asked me to download the new update. i declined.
My local Best Buy has the new White Evos in stock, so I'm assuming it's been released across the country. [US]
I'm hoping to get one soon.
At best buy today.....16 white in stock....5 black

yep, amazon is right, but rest of the on line store get some high price.
Haha if it was inc. vat i would have already ordered It's a shame everything has tax They could at least take it off of the phones for us techy's
That is a price drop. I canceled my order two days ago and told them straight it was because Handtec was cheaper. Interesting..
Isnt the deal modaco has better? As its what maybe 15/20£ more exspensive but has a fair bit of extra goodies?
Getting the cheapest deal is not always the right choice.
I'd rather purchase my hardware from someone whom I trust and know should there be a problem they are only a phone call away and there to offer assistance.
Funnily enough it's the same name as the OP mentions... Clove Tech.
I've known Chris Love for nigh on 20yrs now and know although he sells hardware each of his customers are at the front of his continued commitment.
It's a family business with a strong sense of family values for it's customer base.

You can't order a black DHD because there won't be a black DHD nowadays. Maybe later!

you're seriously going to skip out on this phone because of the colour?
SupremeBeaver said:

Yes, I think colour is all part of the phones aesthetics, and all I can seem to find mentioned colour wise is dark brown, although a lot of the pictures of prerelease devices seem to show them in black.
So unless I can get it confirmed that it will be black, I will have to look at something else (maybe just a HD2 with the Desire HD rom for a good chunk less money).
Might seem a little silly to some people, but I don't think brown looks very good on any electrical device.
Fair enough. The link above lists the DHD as black. It even has some pictures of the back. So maybe HTC is shipping black and brown versions after all.

Will have to wait and see, my preferred e-tailer (Amazon) couldn't state at this point whether the ones they'd receive would be black or brown, if they are mixed, or brown, I sure hope they change the pictures of the black device on their website.
To me the front is almost black, cause the screen ocuppies almost the total front area.
The back is most dark brown, but for the back I don't care much
As the phone has a 'unibody' design, the brown colour had to be applied. So it should not be beyond the wit of man, with the use of masking tape and a spray gun, to make it whatever colour rocks your boat...
Isn't a DHD a "Dial Home Device" anyway? Can't go stealing established TLAs for new devices....
Anyone got any official confirmation on the new 6th Oct release date?
handtec is receiving stock on the 4th Obctober
Just had an e-mail from Clove about the colour:-
It will be in Graphite which is a nice colour (v similar to Desire)
Back orders are strongly recommended as demand is very strong

Looks like I will be interested in this phone after all then.
As a side question here, does anyone know of any places selling cases for the Desire HD yet, or to be released at the same time as the actual phone?

You certain of this? Why do the big sites like Amazon still list the 11th?
Is it pretty much univerally accepted that all US models will be 32gb? Also, any idea if Verizon will have the white one at launch? I'm tired of gray/black/dark blue, going to take the plunge on a white one this time.

I'm almost positive it is 32gb, but I am also wondering about a white option. My gut says no, but I sure hope it is available. I have tried chatting with Verizon but they don't seem to know.
I sure hope white comes day 1.

Exactly!
This is exactly what I am waiting for.
Also want to know how much it will cost full retail for VZW
I don't have Verizon, but one of my friends works there. He told me that the US models will be 32GB, and said Verizon will only have the black, due to them getting the exclusive wireless charging. Take it for what its worth, you know how Reps can be.

Verizon online chat rep did not hesitate when I asked said it will be $599.99
I hate silver phones, always have. Anyone I have ever seen just reminds me of a cheap child's toy. And now that I decided to pull the trigger, the unlocked grey one is sold out for now. Come on Verizon, get with the program and offer some more variety!
/rant off
Just buy the unlocked US version and flash the Verizon RUU on it. gg
The nice part is the black front. Pop a case or a skin on it and you can't even tell it's silver. It's actually not too bad looking, and I agree that I *hate* white/silver phones.
Thanks @DoctorB0NG ...read OP though

Just check swappa. At least 2-3 show up on there every day. It's pretty easy to get a hold of one.
What I hate more is a black phone that shows every little nick and mark through the finish and you can't even remember how they got there in the first place. No issue with silver at all with this model as its face it black. Put it in a black TPU case such as the Diztronic or the $20 silicone version sold at Verizon stores. Problem solved.
I like the silver
