White Evo on July 11th - Bestbuy Exclusive
http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/18/white-htc-evo-4g-coming-exclusively-to-best-buy-on-july-11th/

Oh... that's sexy.

Looks pretty ugly to me since the front border it still all black. Only the battery cover and very thin border around it are actually white.

Working on cars or around the house, my hands are often dirty, even if just a little bit. A soft white phone would look horrible in my possession after a short time. The only advantage to white/silver/metallic devices is that a scratch isn't as apparent as it is with darker colors.

FUGLY!!!!!

ehhhh stick to the ORIGINAL color but would've been nice if it was all white instead of just the back cover.

I haven't got my black one yet!

Gaaahh... wtf is a matter with HTC only making the back cover white instead of the front as well. Could have been beautiful but the white, red, AND black make it look like crap

Zeus in heaven, that's heinous indeed!! Yuk.

It would look better if the front facia is white as well.

Yeah
That's the reason I told my friend he was crazy to buy a white back iphone. Looks like sh#t!

I have it in good faith that the one in the picture in a black one and the other is just white...meaning the WHOLE phone is white, not just the back.

Agreed with everyone else.. ugly with the black front and white back... It's just a slap on...

Am I crazy? Put white cover on my black X10

Out of a lark, I decided to buy a white battery cover from an Ebay seller. Just wanted to see how it would like.
I don't know. It seems interesting.

I was thinking the same thing. I think it looks more modern that way. You can see the lines better, looks more streamlined that way...I don't know what I'm talking about but it seems very nice and modern.
Ok now it becomes creepy. You have the same clock widget, with the same themes

Anyone have a white x10 with a black back cover? Would like to see..

can you please provide me with the name of the seller,I am trying to replace my ATT battery cover with generic but I bought one from ebay but the quality was not good at all. OEM is what I am looking for
thanks man

Looks different but the pure white, looks better. IMHO...

Ebay seller is no.1-tech. Do not know if it is OEM but for $13, it is not much. I found it by searching Ebay with key words "sony ericsson xperia x10 battery cover."

Could you post a full pic from the X10's back with the white cover, not just from the side?

Its actually what I did too , except I had to change mine back to black because my friend wanted his white cover back. He had White X10 with black back cover and it doesn't look good compared to White on Black.

Changing the back cover

Seeing how the Gartia is coming out overseas in black,white and green. Does this mean we can finally get to swap our Aria's back cover with a new one?

One would think, eh?

the green looks kinda lame (although very British), but piano black, and the white look awesome.
If you want piano black - there are a couple on ebay though for the Aria.
Also dont forget that the rings around the tri-screws will still be black.

I'm hoping to get a white back. Just got to wait for the parts to show up on the internet

Anyone switch from Blue to White?

I like the blue quite a bit, but the white one seems to be grabbing my attention the more I look at it. Has anyone here made the switch and regretted it?

OmG doesnt matter what other ppl thinks..choose the one that you like more
ps.for me white looks better

haha I'm just getting some opinions man. Sometimes people switch and there may be something they don't like about their decision that can help me make an informed decision.
Sure it's a preference but there are other aspects to the colors that can help a dude decide. Light leak, dirt etc

gotta agree with him.. decide for you not for others. but i am also confused about the colors as well they are both very good. i guess i will just close my eyes and put my hand on one and buy that color lol

Eww I waited for the blue one and I'm glad I did. I held the white phone of my cousin in my hand. And imo it felt subjectively cheap to me after having the blue one! I would never never buy a white one, but as I said taste is very subjective!
Just go to a shop or friend and take it in your hand and then you can decide for yourself

is that your opinion or experience? cuz the thing with me is i hate it when my phone gets dirty thats why i was leaning towards the blue more

It is a smudge magnet. It's dark and glossy...I mean unless you have some kind of special fingers it gets smudgy.
I have a matte skin coming for mine to take care of that and a regular skin on there now that helps, but naked it gets pretty smudgy.

I dont get it.. how can the white feel cheap when the only difference between the two is color? If you closed your eyes and handled them you wouldnt be able to tell which is blue and which is white so how can the white feel cheaper? lol
I will be getting the blue though only because I dont like white phones.. on that note.

I can't stand the white version. The phone is already struggling in the looks department so I have no idea what they were thinking when they went a did that to it.

For me it's not smudgy my old arc was much much worse, but I did notice one thing. I put a Samsung flip cover to help protect it, for some reason that back gets a little smudge? But the original didn't

Honestly I can't look at the blue version in a direct light: that brushed finish it has around the screen becomes all shiny and looks cheap as hell, really hurts my eye. A friend of mine is getting it today and i tried everything to convince him to go with the white one, but no luck. I wonder how people aren't bothered by this, especially in direct sunlight...

That's what I didn't like about the blue one. The white is just a simple colour, which, looks much more elegant (if you consider only the pattern by itself).
Also, that after a few months I'd look at it and think "Ugh, why did I get this colour?!". Shades of grey, black and white are more neutral. If I had to pick only one colour clothes for the next two years, it wouldn't be blue, so neither is my phone.
But to be honest, the blue being dark is nice. If it had been that dark in grey, I would have definitely picked it. (I think the brushed finish probably would have suited grey better anyway). My white hasn't had any transfer staining so far, but I am slightly worried hearing what others have said. I'll just have to make sure to use only dye-free (clear) cases.

blue
i have had three blue ones because of various faults. after i sent my first blue one back i went to the carphone warehouse to see the white one in the flesh as the replacement date was earlier for the white.
but after comparing it to the blue one i decided to wait for another blue.
again there was unrelated fault and had to send back again, still waited for a blue and very glad i held out as i love it.
just my opinion, maybe because i have a white s2

I want the white N7 FHD!!!!

I wish Google would have launched it with the white version as an option! I guess my white carbon fiber dbrand skins on the front an back will have to do for me. If the display of the white version was also white, then I'd probably sell mine and buy it in white. Anyone else like the new white version?

Wow
it's beatiful
but anyway i wouldnt sell mine for that one (i mean, i preffer white, but hell it's not a big difference) and lot of users use covers

Just the backplate is white. The bezel is still black. I recently popped off my N7 cover and there are lots of built in antennas and connectors. Don't know if 3rd party manufacturers could make replacements. Probably.

Never understood that decision. If you make a white device, make it all white; not just the back.
You put a cover/case on it, and it makes no difference.

My thoughts exactly.

Yea, just buy a white feather case and BAM
Coming from AMOLED screens, I do find the white bezel contrast helps make the LCD "blacks" look darker. That is one of the annoying things about coming from an AMOLED where you can't tell where the screen starts/stops to an LCD where you can distinctively see the LCD panel compared to a black black panel border.
I've never owned a white device. I wanted a white G2, but Verizon only sold it in black... well now there is a white one. My N7... now there is a white one. I dunno. There are companies who make the Glass style screen protectors that actually have painted undercoats that can change the color and appearance of the front bezels. I'm waiting for a white review unit for my G2.

Style options create inventory management and supply chain complexity. The more parts in common between styles, the lower the level of complexity.

EXACTLY!! Not sure why some manufacturers understand that concept, and some don't. I realize that it keeps the production costs down, as they don't have to remanufactuer the front half. I for one wouldn't mind paying a little more for an ALL white version though!
