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

Hi all,
I'm still trying to decide which colour to get. I have never had a White phone before, and think the white looks good. But I have heard that White can get dirty easier and screen would also look less vibrant.
So...what do you guys think? Which colour will you get if you can be bothered to wait for the white.
I had a white Blackberry for a bit, I liked it for a month then the colour start to bother me for some unknow reason, maybe because it doesn't match with my other gears.
Go for white if you want your Note to stand out and maybe have a slightly better resell value. But you can't go wrong with black, it's a classic colour.
I haven't seen either one in the flesh, but I quite fancy the look of the white one on the web. However, price and supply have dictated that I get the black one. No big deal either way for me.
If it helps, Apple seem to have plenty of white versions of their products - iPad, old Macbook, iPhone, iPod and lots of accessories and I've not seen anyone grumble that it started to look dirty.
If I could stand the wait I would probably get the white. It looks pretty amazing when I see it in a video online. I have seen a white S2 in person and they look beautiful.
My order is in for the black, can always order both and sell the black when the white comes in
Black looks better imho. Now where is my shipping notification...
let me vote for a white one ^_^
I bought a white iPad 2. I had to return it, it was honestly distracting doing anything but reading a bright white webpage. I don't think i'll get another white device again.
Ask any one involved in the clothing trade and they'll tell you white makes you look bigger. The Note already looks big enough.
The cover for a white Note would also need to be white in order to match and it would soon look dirty, especially if it was made of leather. So for that reason alone I would prefer black.
Black is better for images and movies, white would stand out too much, with everything black it will blend in.
It's like having a white tv, wtf who would want a white tv? My vote goes for black!
I'm aiming to get black
I got a white Ipad as a birthday prezzie
(still sulking over the colour)
on the ipad white any, dust/fluff seems to be very noticeable

I would sulk at the fact it's an ipad, not that it's white in colour!!
Their too big and overpriced for what they are, they're more suited for movies/gaming/entertainment than a phone or business use...
Are you a woman? If not, get a black. Like a real man.
White note male owners need not reply and defend. We accept you just the way you are...

Got my Note in white and I love the way it looks. It doesn't get dirty, no more so than my black Galaxy S2 did. Everyone that's seen it falls in love with the way it looks.
Hey guys,
Not trolling here, as I'm betting this topic has been beaten to death 6 pages down the forum, but it still puzzles me greatly.
Black or white?
To my eye, black is more sleek and serious, white (silver) is more fancy. How are your experiences in terms of build quality of both? Is it true that black smudges with fingerprints easily, and how view-able are they? Scratch/chip wise, how do both phones behave?
Any honest opinion, I would kill for. Thanks for your time lads.
Think of it like a car. White cars you have a tough time see scratches, but you can tell when it's dirty quicker. Black is the opposite.
i started off determined i wanted black, as I've been using a white SGS3 and I hate the white look in general, but I went to the store to see what it was like in person and it was nothing like I imagined. The black is very matte and not a deep black like i expected. The white (actually silver) on the other hand looks much better in person IMHO.
All in all, you really need to see the product yourself to decide. My Best Buy had both on display for me to check out. As someone who enjoyed the iphone 5 in black, the htc one's black model does not resemble it much at all and ends up looking a little bit cheaper to me. I'm going to end up getting the silver model.
silver color is good...
the metal underneath both finishes is silver. if you nick the black finish you will see silver. if you nick the silver finish, you will see more silver. which situation is more noticeable?
personally i believe a) if you could somehow keep your phone from getting dinged, black looks cool (even if it is more of a charcoal gray and not exactly black) and b) putting a great-looking and -feeling phone in a case is a waste of good design unless you expect to drop your phone at some point and/or care about resale value. (and besides if you have a case on your phone, the case obscures much of the phone's original finish anyway.)
because i am a) pretty sure my phone will experience a little wear and tear and yet b) i would prefer to use it without a case, i am guessing silver will make me happier in the long run even if black seems slightly more appealing now. and i mean *slightly* : honestly , both look good.
oh and it's not clear if the developer edition will ever come in black. HTC is saying no for now. not sure what to expect later on though.
black one gonna give lots of residual + finger prints in future usage. U will notice it really much, but if you going to get the case doesn't matter, silver looks more stylish and appealing high end device in your hand.
I have the black One and I am very happy about it. Had it 10 days now and only one tiny noticeable scratch at the top edge. Very very small one and easily covered by a black marker.
I have to day, I don't regret getting the black at all, it's so cool and stylish IMHO. It does attract more fingerprints but wipe it wit.your cloth easily clean it, I was a bit worried but not anymore since I.actually got the phone.
Of course, I don't abuse my phone, but don't avoid using it, it's always naked in my.pocket alone.
Oh, the back is quite durable I dropped it from knee high and.it landed on the back on wood floor, not a single mark.
Silver, ive had black phones all my life, its time for a change
i have a black car too..
I went for Silver too, never been a big fan of black phones. Or white ones, for that matter! really like the brown Galaxy S3 my girlfriend uses, and my old Desire HD had a bit do a brownish tint to it. Only had my silver One for a couple of hours so far, but it's stunning - very happy with it and it frames the display nicely. one day when we have true edge-to-edge displays then black would look amazing, but until then I think I'd prefer a silver, grey or brown.
flip a coin, heads white, tails black... but honestly if you flip the coin you will realize what color you want while the coin is spinning in mid air.

Or confuse yourself even more that's what happened to me when I was deciding... I took the black simply because another colleague in my company got a silver and I wanted to be different! It turns out to be a good choice.

I actually had chance to go back, switch to a silver One while I was still in the first 7 days after received the phone feared it may chip. But I stayed because my normal usage will not worsen the casing,

Wanted to know how you liked it? I have the white one but I've had like 4 white phones in a row and was thinking of trading for a black. I'll be putting a skin on it so not worried about fingerprints. Let me know how you like it otherwise compared to white.
Went from an old white Z1 compact to a black X compact myself. Not much to say about it though lol. It's black and looks good. The only issue is that it's a fingerprint magnet. But if your putting a clear or colored skin on it that pretty much solves the problem. Only other thing I can think of to say is it's kind of an off black. Basically at times in the light it can look like an extremely dark navy blue at times which is kinda cool.
Have the black. In direct sunlight it looks more dark blue but in household lighting it looks black. Pretty slick looking. I really wish they would have made a yellow like the Z5C. I kinda felt like owning an ostentatious phone this time.
I have tried both and I can say that white version is a lot nicer in my opinion
you wont see any fingerprint or scratch easily and also the nicely curved back looks elegant on white and blue versions...
Since some of us are getting our Solar Red phones in I was wondering what you guys thought of the color. Personally I like it, but it is more Watermelon red instead of blood red looking at it straight on. Is anyone else seeing it?

Got my Solar Red unit today and I am very pleased, if not as ecstatic as I had hoped. From videos and photos online, I assumed it would be that darker red/orange color most of the time too. However, the "default" color in typical lighting is more of a salmon/watermelon/wine color, though it definitely does go deep red/orange in certain lighting and angles. I would probably be happy with either the sapphire blue or solar red, but I'm glad I waited for the latter.

Yeah mine is the same way. I did notice that the phone is darker red outdoors, so its likely just a lighting thing. I am still happy with it, I just didn't know if I got a dud or not since it was so different in person.
You guys had me worried for a moment, mine arrived today and I love the colour, it's as good as expected for me, look forward to seeing it in various different lighting conditions.
Mine is a little less red than I was expecting too, but I'm not complaining.
I like that mine is a little less red then I was expecting. It's more refreshing then the pure red I thought it might be.
I think it looks pink or salmon most of the time. It turns a cool yellow/gold at many different angles but in normal office light, it looks pink/salmon. I was disappointed that it wasn't really red.
Love my red U11. It's also a lighter red than I was expecting, but it still looks fantastic!
The color is less red then advertised but still beautiful. Of course the color is different because it's glass and not plastic or metal like we've used too.
It definitely looks better than my wife's Amazing Silver which is light blue :silly:

To me is more like an Orange Red, than Strawberry Red, or Bloody Red.
Still like it a lot.
If only I could find a case to show it off, with good protection.
All the transparent cases I've seen so far are not safe enough to protect this phone.

I like the Spigen Liquid Crystal case. I posted some pictures of my solar red U11 in it here. They're the last 4 pictures to compare with the SEIDIO version that does NOT protect the screen.

I really love my Solar Red and I, too, have the Spigen Liquid Crystal case, which I actually quite like (after migrating from HTC's leather protective case).
I dig the hell out of my Solar Red. It does look salmon colored but only in these TPU cases which dull the hell out of the shiny. I think without the case it really does look like Stark's armor in Iron Man I. So .. I named it Jarvis. I'm probably going to do an ultra clear skin. I don't drop phones and haven't broken a screen ever but I don't want that shiny back scratched. I dig this phone a lot and I can't really find fault with it. The wife is thinking about getting the blue model since she's more into that color.
Love the solar red. Love the colour red. Here’s my comparison with my solar red, iPhone 7 Plus Product Red and a red sofa
https://gavinsgadgets.com/2017/08/1...d-vs-iphone-7-plus-product-red-vs-a-red-sofa/
Same as everyone else. Not really red. More pink/gold. Not really that good looking. Not impressed.
The back protector that came with the phone is also pretty horrible and distorts the little colour there is. (Also scratches very easily).
