I am thinking about taking my Black R800x and but a white housing for it off ebay and turn my Xperia Play into a white play. Has anyone tried this before? If so, did it work?
yeh i did it,
abit confusing to put back together though
I considered this but after changing the case on my sony ericsson W995 from black to red and short-circuiting 8 of the buttons I thought it would be best not to.

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.
Does anyone know where through antenna on the x10i is located, I took my phone apart after attempting to change housing but failed.... lol now I get some ccrappy signal reception that drops on and off

I am a little disappointed that changing the housing turns out to be so risky and difficult. :-(
There was a special offer when I bought my X10 (-150 euros) for the black one, so I bought the black.
But now I feel a tad jealous of the lustrous white...
DealExtreme has a full white housing for about 28 dollars, but after reading reports about users who failed to change the cover, I am hesitant.
As far as your problem is concerned, there is a thread around here that has detailed instructions about disassembling the phone (can't find the link, as I'm posting from the phone) and there you can see exactly where the antenna is. I hope everything turns out OK for your phone, let up know!

Thats why I have sold my black X10 and bought me a white beauty, on forums people are saying that white X10 is for ladies and gays but really, this phone in white is one of the most beautiful phones on the market, even much better than white iPhone and everybody wants white iPhone, because it is different, 99% of phones are black and having white phone is different, for me personaly is nicer to see white phone in my hands, since I dont hold my phone on the table or anywhere that others can see, luckily I have sold my black phone 2 days after I bought white one Only that is worse is the back thats not rubberized and the phone slips out of the hands and pockets VERY easily..
I've noticed that screen of my Xperia Play is darker in 2 places. This is only noticable when screen is whole in one color, especially white or light gray (irregular illumination). I wonder if there is something wrong with the LCD of my phone, or those models just are not perfect. You can check your screen using some free Android app from Market, ie. LCDTest.
Did anybody noticed similar problem to his/her phone?

The colors on my screen are perfectly even throughout, as should be yours. Sounds like you got a defective one.

Send it back for repair as soon as possible. See if they are willing to replace your LCD screen.
So, I see that the black xperia Z has highly visible fingerprints, I wonder if the white one will make them less noticeable? Can anyone with the white one confirm? Also, which colour are you going to buy ? :laugh:
I'm confused between black and white
Me too. But I've gone for Black as IMO it looks better and apparently the fingerprints are easy to remove

I've gone for white so I aint got to fully see those finger prints on the back.
I have the white Had Black phones for ages and fancied a change.
Finger prints are not to visible on the back.
But I still polish it every time I use it as you can still see them and it bugs the hell out of me!!
Tough choice for me. White looks great, black looks good too but has fingerprints problem. You aren't going to look at the back of your phone though.
Will probably get black because it's less visible during 'stealth' photo shoots.
There is already a thread for this. Please use search function.
Sv: Black | White | Purple choice and why thread
I would prefer the white one but as I can't wait to get the XZ, I'm getting the black one. The Black one releases 2 weeks before the white in Sweden.
black, cause I am not a child anymore.
White screams too loud young...
Black imo it looks better regardless of fingerprints.
I'm getting white as the full black face of the screen stands out more and that looks neat. Also, fingerprints will be less obvious as mentioned.
The fingerprints on the screen are likely to be "auto-wiped" each time you insert and remove the phone from the pocket. However, the back will always have fingerprints as your hand is going to be covering the back as you grasp the phone in your pocket. Ya feel me guys?
I've gone for black as it looks sleeker. If you apply the front and rear screen covers contained in the box the fingerprint problem is much less. It's just the factory applied anti-shatter films that show lots of fingerprints.
White, because it's very beautiful
Gone for white as i love white phones I also hope it wont show as many fingerprint marks on the back of it
oh and

It had a poll and black was by far the most popular.
Still haven't made up my mind: purple or black?
I have pre-ordered a purple one simply because it is beautiful and unique, it's deep purple color so it also suits men.

It's a Sony after all Their purple devices go great with everything.
Got myself a black one - black/silver are colours of high-tech for me.
Anyone bought white?

I like white phones but i don't like the white Z. I don't like two colored phones. If it was completely white, fine -but it's not- soo i'll go with the black one.
Any one with white xperia z? Can you tell us how it looks from front comparing with black one? Does it looks premium like black one?

We've been discussing this on another thread, and there's a link to a video comparing the black vs purple on the last page (as of today)

before i start my english and grammar is terrible
the xperia z is perfect and i don't want sony to steer away from this master piece so i just want to throw out a few wishes on what i think the next one should have who knows maybe it will happen?
screeen:
i think sony should develop their own version of the super amoled panel with realistic colors greater brightness and contrast which would ofcourse bring true black and flawless viewing angles i want sony to make the best panel available today like the old days of the trinitron tube
softkey customization:
due to the true black nature of the screen you wouldn't be able to tell that the softkeys are part of the screen so they would look liks physical buttons
you could change colors of the keys size and icons they would be fully customizable and you wouldn't be able to tell that they are part of the screen in short they would be capacitive buttons you can change icons colors and size of or for fun have them pulse through colors
the keys should also autohide by default when going into fullscreen applications holding at the bottom for about 10 seconds (changable) to have them appear for 5 or whatever seconds you prefer
software:
i want the old xperia s wave to be put back in much more colors more particle effects sharper and updated i had to download it from the play store
and this is wishful thinking but i still want to throw it in here
inbuilt rooting
you go into settings of the phone and you get two options (normal root) which just gives you SU persmissions and advanced root which let's you install custom roms through a sony boot menu or recovery menu with all functions you need in one menu that you access by holding a few buttons plain and simply simplified rooting and changing roms
this would ofcourse only be possible on a unlocked retail phone i don't think carriers would allow it then again noone probably will
ability to customize screenspace if you want a standard phone with a keypad at the bottom you just add it or you could add your own bezels if you want some hand space
looks:
available in different sizes and in a full body aluminum body like the htc one
theres not much here to suggest but i want the XPERIA text to be moved in the corner of the phone and alot less sticking out i want the warning text and CE logos to be grey and not visible at all i want the barcode to be on a sticker and not printed in the phone itself
(made in china sortof puts off the idea that the phone is japanese?)
i also had a small idea of a lightstrip all around the phone but i am not sure if that would ruin it's looks (then again the phone is already made of glass so theres no need for a strip around the phone) having the entire phone being able to light up through it's glass body would be awesome though or a very very very thin invisible lightstrip around the phone that can do flow effects and smoke effects where the colors move up and down to either music games or for fun or for notifications
anti fingerprint coating on all parts of the phone fingerprints would not be visible even when it's off to keep it's beautiful looks
speakers:
two stereo speakers at the front hidden in the phone speaker and phone mic using the same holes
padfone concept:
unless asus patented this concept i would like a tablet z like tablet for the xperia z to dock it in both are ofcourse water resistant
i also want to be able to buy a much higher quality more xpensive dock for the phone in any other material then cheap plastic it scares me putting the phone down in this dock as theres no rubber or anything just the phone scraping in the plastic
wireless charging should be a given for a phone like this
a wireless bluetooth keyboard that you can attach to the phone similar to the sony ericsson p910i infact a successor to the p910i with android would be nice
i love this phone and i HOPE sony won't steer away from this shape (all square) seeing the new phones sony released sortof makes me think they will
curved back
slanted edge at the front
what would be acceptable too me would be a slightly curved back not inside curve but outside and slightly curved corners like the padfone infinity

If it is then why make this topic??
I really don't get the point of this topic.
But since you created this topic I'll give some idea's:
I want the next Z to be a device which I can use to start up my car, with the device I should be able to control every device in my house.:silly:

it's just that these threads don't benefit anyone.
we all have ideas/hopes for improvements. i too would love an aluminum-frame padfone-style xperia z that is somehow waterproof and also has an amazing battery life and a hugely improved screen with hideable softkeys.
but i can say all that i want, what does that do for anyone else?
Three new Sony phones coming,
