Hello I wana buy x10. Which colour to buy and which 1 gets more fingerprints etc. please share your thoughts
I have black, it looks very elegant. White looks very modern and clean. But elegance is my style.
Get the White and protect the screen with matte screen protector and CapDase Soft Case to protect the outer casing.
I think there was a similar thread before.
The black matte finish doesn't really show fingerprints. The white glossy finish is more susceptible to fingerprints but it doesn't show clearly because it's white.

Yes there was another thread... it even had the same poll
I have white and I have played with black. I do love them both, Xperia X10 in general is a good looking and designed phone. It depends on your style and how you feel to see everyday in your hands.
You will be happy with either of them, specially since buying a different housing is not expensive anymore.

besides I had a black x1 and my razr2 of weird color o.0 looks black, blue or purple @[email protected]
I can't believe how fantastic it looks compared to LCD. I'm a huge fan of saturated colors (I crank up digital vibrance on my computer), and now my EVO's LCD just looks washed out. Anyone else who switched from LCD to this?

I'm coming from an N1 and I can't keep my fingers off it.
/awkward
I wouldn't say 'switched' so much, as my Droid is still my main phone, but yes; the screen is so much more beautiful and vibrant than my Droid's LCD. When my Verizon contract is up, SAMOLED will definitely be a requirement for my new phone.

^ When there's black on the screen, it's hard to tell where the screen stops and the casing begins! And when the phone is turned off, it just looks like one sexy slab of obsidian.
I ended up taking back my MT4G because I couldn't stand the washed out colors on the screen. The G2's SLCD was fantastic, but the SAMOLED on this absolutely blow it out of the water.

That's one of the coolest features, in my opinion. I didn't think I'd like the black notification bar after using CyanogenMod for so long, but it just looks like part of the phone!

IT'S TOOOO DAMN BRIGHT!
Screen is great, but it's too bright! Was at TRON Legacy midnight showing last night, after the movie, the lights were still down, I turn on my phone and blinded myself! Even manually set to 0% it's way too bright. Makes it hard to use the phone at night when you're laying in bed reading the news.
Heh, you should rip an Avatar DVD and watch it on the SAMOLED. T-Mobile knew what it was doing when it packaged the movie with the Vibrant, because it's an absolutely jaw-dropping combo. My iPhone 4-owning friends are just blown away when I show them movies on my Vibrant.
I lick my super amoled when I am in the bathroom and no one can see me.
Coming from MT4G ( and the inferior screen too ) It's really a big difference.

Try an app called Screen Filter! Put it at halfway, solved my TOO BRIGHT issues in darkness.
i heard that if you go outside in the sun every once in a while it fixes the "OMG it hurts my eyes issues"

I am a huge fan of the color red (it's generally my favorite color) so I'm interested in seeing more of it before making my preorder in a day.
Still hoping for real pics, but this is the only one I've seen so far.

It looks like red candy.
I would prefer more of a wood alike color/effect

they will come out with a pink color variant...looking by their history with s devices....may be it will launch for valentine's day 2013 and can be called as 'shiny pink' or 'rose pink'
i'm sure vickytoria will like a pink sgs3.
If thats the real deal, I'll have to see it in person. Not my color of red, looks more pink to me. If it was a more vibrant red then I'd consider it.
Red Reallyyyyy??????No doubt it will be hideous

Not bad, the red looks like cherry wood.
I can finally leave limbo and get it in hand tomorrow.
And I heard so many "issues" about the phone,
so before I unlock bootloader and flash thing.
I wanna check the phone completely before risking the warranty
So what is the common "issues" right now?
What I know is:
1. Phone rattle
2. Yellow tint / Too warm display / Dead pixels
3. Buzzing sound
and what else?
Thanks
Appearantly "issue" number 2 (Yellow Tint) is only experienced if you update (OTA) once you receive your nexus. If you don't update you won't experience the yellow tint "issue".
A static noise when in a call, if the phone is super close to your ear you can hear it.

It went from glue to software?
Hmmm, some people complain about the bottom of their device creaking. Like where the screws/usb port/microphone are. Mine does, but its only if I push on it. Holding it normally, there is no issue.

Left - pre ota, right - Post ota. After quadrant they are in reverse. Forget about clarity, just look at the colours. Shot handheld with dslr, so a bit shaky.
Here's your proof that you can see with your eyes that it is ota.

That doesn't even make sense.. I guess they changed the color calibrations in the OTA? Well whatever I just hope and pray that my nexus 4 doesn't have any of these issues.
Don't worry about the color too much. If it could be changed by an OTA then devs will come up with the perfect colors. Think Galaxy Nexus.
There is a small rattle around the camera area if you shake it. Honestly I don't find that a problem since I'm not shaking it constantly.
The buzzing in the earphone/headphone is a bigger problem but not annoying to me. I can't hear it when in calls or listening to music. It's only very pronounced when there is no sound coming out.
I still hope Google itself can have a better tune in the color temp.
About the yellow tint (dots), is it common or just a rare case?
Most likely a rare case, my phone currently has no issues with yellow spots on the screen
what about bleeding sceen i seen 2 spot on top of the screen when in dark room just reminded me of LG G2X.

This is software, kernels are always able to adjust the color balancing and saturation etc once more custom kernels come out this problem will be addressed/fixed.

You'll get that with any LCD really... if it's really bad you might want to see if they'll exchange it, otherwise there's a chance it will be worse if you get it replaced.

I am okay with it. That's why I put my SP on it.
But the yellow spot is not...
So I just called for a replacement.
Dang...need to get one SP again
Another thing ( quite obvious ) are admittedly rare [ saw one user in reddit mentioning this] dust under the screen or noticeable dead pixels .
Also check to make sure there are no "bulges" around the sides of the phone where the black backing meets the front bezel. I have a small bulge near the bottom right side of the phone that looks like a little clip failed to engage. I have tried pushing it in to sit flush but it does nothing. I wasn't going to do anything about it since it's not that big of a deal but I called Play support and told the rep the issue. He said he has had a few reports of this problem and recommended an RMA. So I have a new one on the way.
Check this thread for pics of it happening to another guy:

Not sure if it's just my eyes decieving me but any users with the white phone feel that the sides are becoming a lil bit yellowy?
I know the phone isn't pure white, but I don't think the phone itself should change colour with the material used?! :silly:
I use a case too, & I also mean the part that's around the middle glass strips which seem 'drity'?
This is a little knowledge of what my brother taught me raw materials regarding of white paint since he is production manager of our family business manufacturer of paint. It may apply possible in xperia z. There are two version one is pearly white and bluish white. Bluish white is more better and really expensive due to for prolong years of used and wear and tear its white is likely white but not as new. But the pearly white after long year's exposed white will become dirty white. For me, it is inevitable for the white version of xperia z.

If anything a case will be more likely to speed up the process, especially plastic/rubber cases, the chemicals in them are rather reactive with paints. Typically, it shouldn't tarnish that fast, try using some natural non-abrasive cleaning products to bring the white back a bit. White especially will look dirty from just general sweat and mucky fingers. Hope this helps.

Yeah mine is tpu case, the case is white too & the corners have become very mucky already.
I do have a plastic one but find it's not as good when protecting the phone. What form of cleaning products do you recommend that is safe & worth a try? Like I said, it could just be my eyes & the phone was already that colour Just wanted to see if anyone else felt the same?

ANY white surface will yellow over time. It is inevitable, except if you use your phone in a presurized bag and in absolute darkness where UV radiation will not affect it.
