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

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

Regret getting white S2

Having had my white Galaxy S2 for about a month, I have actually gone off the white colour and now wish I had a black handset. It's a shame as when I first got my phone I was in love with the white colour and I was one of the first to get one of the white handsets on release day.
It's stupid I know but I wandered if anyone had a similar feeling and wished they had the other colour to the one they bought?
Anyone want to do a swap? Lol

Go to the xda marketplace and post the request for trade, I bet some one would be willing to trade with you

You can always get a black case (SGP or any other) and get SGP's Black Glass Screen protector for the front. Now you have a black phone! They also give you a black piece to cover your home button. Now you can switch in between your mood. That is what I am going to do. I hear what your saying though. I love my white one but sometimes I want the black front.

I frikin trade u. Pm me! Love white phones.

That's not a bad plan. I like the fact that you could choose between the two depending on what you fancy at the time.

GOD! i love my white S2 after years of nothing but black black black , I have had three back S2`s and the silver trim around the edge of the white S2 really does looks the dogs bollics.
But each to their own

A nice sleek silver phone would be lovely but i like my black GS2.

My white S2 is coming in on Friday
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium

I absolutely love the look of the white GS2, but I went with black for two main reasons. First, (and maybe you can confirm this), I read that the smooth back on the white version made the grip less sure compared to the rough back on the black. Second, as much as I love the look, I'm not really the type that likes to stand out too much, and a black smartphone is a lot less attention-grabbing than a white one, even if the latter is beautiful. Plus, I saved about $30 based on the best prices I could find when I bought. Okay, that was three reasons I guess, so sue me.
But yeah, the white usually costs a bit more, as you can see here already, you won't have any trouble trading someone.

Love my white SGS 2 here using SGP with satin silver niiiice

I own a black gs2 and my wife has a white gs2. I like both but I do really like hers more! Looks awesome in white!

It's all a matter of preference. Go for it if it makes you happy. I know a lot of people including me who's like white one. Problem is that option was not available locally and I wanted a phone with warranty.

Haha that's exactly what I keep getting told. Which has put me off the white. Don't get me wrong, I still like the look of it but would much prefer the black.

I prefer the Black as I have got a Black One all my phones have either been Black or Silver.
My colleague just got a White one and It kinda looks Odd compared to mine so quite happy
Yeah and its true girls look cool with white phones

Argh, my first white phone and I love it.
But today I somehow got ink on my hands from a badly made pen and must have picked up my phone,
ink marks stay on the phone and are NOT easily wiped off.
Went from screen cleaner -> lens cleaner -> flash -> Mr muscle, which FINALLY did the job.
The joys of a white phone

I got the white sgs2 after waiting for one month. I love it. I'm happy that I waited for it and didin't buy the black one. Looks awesome in white.

Galaxy S III in Pebble Blue. Still Want White

Funny how all the surveys showed most wanted the blue...but now this. LOL
I have the Galaxy S III in Pebble Blue
I love the phone. Period. And it is beautiful
It is much more blue in person and less like that gradient stuff of the One as
However it is a fingerprint magnet. I know a case may fix that but I believe I want the white one. 16gb is fine. The phone comes to Baltimore next Wed
(If anyone wants this PM me. I can deal but need enough to pay off Value Plan)
Advice:
If you really didn't like the prints and think you wanted white
Would you:
1. Do nothing. The case will fix that and the blue part above and belowbthe screen will look fine
2. Get Phantom Skins on the back from the mall and that will take care of the prints
3. Would you return it now if there was any fear of being stuck with this too long before the white one is around
(Does anyone know where or when the white one is available)
Thank You So Much
Eric

I saw it in an article "july 11th" but all the reps at t-mobile store kept telling everyone august...lol i think they were just trying not to lose the sale, but then again with everything getting delayed maybe they're right...

Today i've change my white for a blue.
White is cute but i prefer blue.
Personal taste.

Thank You
Where did you get your white.
The blue, I must say, looks much better in person...but as the reviews say it is more of a fingerprint magnet...do you agree, having seen both
Would you return and wait for the white, OR would you get the unlock code and sell and then buy the white...would I make more money
I know a lot of my Androids I would get 350-500, but I clearly need the $280 spent plus the $400 payoff balance for the Value plan
So would I make $680 plus for a new (I suppose one day I could say new) unlocked 16gb blue GS3? I do believe I see much higher prices
Thanks Again

I own the Blue S3 and have played with the White S3. I personally think the White S3 is the better looking of the two. But I buy black electronics and pretty much everything matches.
I'm annoyed that Samsung just didn't do a black phone and thus forced me to wait two weeks for the replacement cover Blue S3s to come into stock. A few times where I was tempted to get the White one.

Thanks
Skellig..
So you have the blue? What do you mean replacement cover. You mean like case? YOu are waiting for a black case to match your electronics
As I said, the blue to me holds more fingerprints, and I could wait on my cases I ordered, but I wouldnt want my blue showing on the front if that isn't the color I wanted. I don't like how they didnt' make the whole front all black like the GN or GS2
Did you see my question about selling unlocked
I suppose it may take a week as usual, but buying yesterday I could still say new ... or new other right
And the phone unlocked for Tmo or ATT Bundled with 2 wall chargers andd sets of 2 spare batteries, I could ask $750 couldn't I. I looked on ebay
I need to make the 680 to cover my cost plus the 20 months of value plan payments I have to pay off. That along with the buy it now ebay fee wouldn't allow me to make much, so it prolly easier to simply return and wait for white, huh? ...and leave the unlocking and selling to when I really want a new phone

You are really going to trade it because of fingerprints?
You can wipe them off it and wash your hands once in a while and it wont be a problem.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium

I would say, 'you're funny.' I could say that is not the reason.
But to be honest, it is part. Just the feel more than the prints itself.
I, like many I read, wish they kept the rough backnof the GS2 or GN
I think we all have idiosyncrasies about our electronics
In fact one guy in a thread questioned why all worry about color. Needless tkbsaybseveral replied to him in various ways.
But overall. I like the white.
Thanks. And any other suggestions as to what to do with this and where to get the white quickest would be great

LOL. Couldn't help but laugh a bit.
Some of us are just naturally greasy people. I wash my hands constantly(germ-a-phobe) but still grease up anything shinny. My roommate hates when I mess when his phone lol.

Blue is better
I bought the white version coz the blue wasn't available yet. It was fine but deep in side i wanted the blue!
A friend of mine had the blue but wanted the white so i traded mine with his and everyone were happy!!
The blue is more sexy, light from capacitive buttons and LED notification is more solid. U say the blue is a fingerprint magnet but u could easily clean it but the white easily stains from cases and use.
IMO stick to urs!!

I have both blue and white, use the blue because the white looks way too childish when outside, the sun makes the plastic shine like a toy.. blue handles it better and I don't see any fingerprints on mine tbf .. maybe it just doesn't bother me that much)

Hi, apologies as I know not everybody in the world would have been aware of the delay of the UK release. The Galaxy S3 Blue version was delayed due to the back battery cover having poor coatings and blotches. Whole shipments had to be recalled and replaced. It took me two weeks after the expected launch of the S3 to get my phone (although I could have switched to the white version within a week). If Samsung just stuck with plain black, then they didn't have to worry about sub-par quality of Pebble Blue paint. And I would not have to settle for the Pebble Blue.
I wrote my own impressions of the S3 with plenty of pictures if you're interested:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=27372648#post27372648
I currently have a case for my phone and a screen protector.
I'm afraid I don't know much about the US price plans concerning the S3. I bought mine outright/unlocked in the UK because I'm moving to Hong Kong for a year. If I weren't I would have gone with a 2 year contract. Especially a recent deal for Groupon £19/month for Unlimited Data, 5000 mins and 5000 texts.

The blue looks purple under certain lighting conditions.. And not a nice purple.. My only qualm with the phone. Otherwise it is the best phone I have ever owned. Make that the best device / gadget I have owned..

Bought blue - still laughing about the purple home button - case on the back, so don't see the reflection of my neighbours.
Ignore it as I'm not a woman, with pink nails, and thus enjoy the phone for what it is - couldn't care for the looks as much as some do.

I actually really like my white one.

I prefer the white as well. I would buy black if they had one, but the blue/cobalt/purple isn't my thing.
Tapped That

blue rocks! i bought white 3 months ago and now my heart burns everytime i see a blue s3 lol
i am ordering a blue battery cover for my white s3!

I have marble and pebble... Marble makes iphone fanboys go crazy jealous and want to sell their iphone in a second and take GS3. The pebble one is just not that attractive like a semi popular smartphone with a great potential to get his light of the day .

Black or White?

My S4 was white. Definitely going for the black one this time. What color are you planning to get?

BLACK definitely, the white fake leather not sweet

Definitely went for the black.

I like the white face. I can always change the back or put on a case.

Just saw the white in person and its gorgeous

White looks great in this instance

when is the gold color coming out? any idea guys?

All my electronics are black. So black it is. Well the Note 2 was silver but you get the point.

Even though the white looks very nice (just got a hands on @ the Best Buy across the street), I like the black look of my Note 3, which is why I opted for the black one

Black one here. The White looks really good, but will only last a few months at the most before it starts to look dirty even after cleaning it.

$900 for a phone without LTE? Wow that's insane.

Preordered the black. I'm not a fan of white faced phones, the bezels stand out way too much. Look at the iPhone 6 plus, it's the most god awful gaudy looking phone with the white front/bezels. On the other hand I'm impressed with the white Note 4 and would consider the white, it's very well done and the bezels don't stand out too badly.
