I think black looks cleaner as white is not having 100% white frame like X10 used to have but looks great on the back side ;-)

Honestly one of the nicest phones ever designed. White for the girls, and black for the guys. Those are probably the targets too.
I'll buy in black.
Every phone I get is usually in black.

I like how the display in black phones just melt in with the rest of the phone in a way that i dint find the white ones doing. I think the screen seems smaler when u have a white phone, and I like big screens
Usually black makes slim.
If it's matte black then I'll choose black but if it's glossy black then I'll choose white over it any day.
i was thinking of making this thread as well, im confused about which color i want to get myself too
You know what they say: Once you go black, you never go back.
Maybe this should be transferred to the Xperia S forum now?
In any case, unlike most here I prefer the white one from the front as I like the contrast. But, I'm afraid there's too much white for my taste on the back.
As far as the black one goes, I don't think the bottom plastic part will blend nicely with the deep glossy black bezel surrounding the screen, as the plastic will just look a little "less black" and not very integrated if you know what I mean.
black is the best colour. Whie does look nice but you will get bored of it very easily and no way of changing it. I used to have x10 with both white and black housing but after 2 cdays with white i always ended up returning to black.
Black. I think white is more.. girlish. No offense
Black colour is better because, if it gets dirty/scratched, it will be harder to notice it. Especially when talking about those shiny covers.
I pre-ordered the white one, I think it looks better than the black version.

All of those of you that wanted an upgraded Google Nexus S - your wish has been granted, if you consider a new colour an upgrade.
TechRadar got a little look at the new handset on test, and if you're in the market for something different when it comes to a new mobile, then the White Nexus S will at least set you apart.
First impressions make it feel like all Google and Samsung have done is chuck a while plastic cover on the back of the phone, but thankfully it's a little more than that.
Firstly, the whole inside of the phone is now white when you pop the cover off, as well as the extraneous buttons - and these are the things that are actually different on view when you consider the differences between the white and black version.
Sat side by side, you probably wouldn't notice the difference between the two phones from the front, with the same 4-inch Super AMOLED screen on offer. We have no idea why the front isn't also white - we can only assume this messes with the colour perception in some way, as the dual tone looks odd.
We put the black plastic cover on the back of the white Nexus S (there's not a lot else you can do when taking pictures of a new cover) so you can see the difference.
Another key difference, and in our eyes an upgrade, is the back is no longer glossy plastic but a slightly mottled exterior making it easier to hold.
Other than that, the two phones are identical. there's no official White Google Nexus S UK release date, but expect to see the phone sometime in April.
It should be landing on the same £30 a month (ish) tariff as its black brethren on Vodafone - at least now you can decide which version suits you better.

Ok samsung needs to make a non glossy black battery cover ASAP!!!
+1 to SupaDupaFly24!!!
I think the phone looks a bit odd because the front is still just black.
The black cover on the white phone looks cool though.
All they did was change the back? not the front or the bezel?
The non glossy back is a great idea though.
When will they make black battery covers like that?

seriously waiting for the answer
Looks nice enough but i wouldn't want one over my black one, what i would love though is a nice silver chrome plated GS2 that would be seriously smart.
Looks like the battery cover is smooth doesnt have the same texture as the black one. Also, the official Samsung 2000mah battery only come in black as of now

a very very bright white, alot brighter than my black gs2's
and yep the back is super smooth white.

As nice as it may look, white looks absolutely horrendous to me. No offence.

Hmmm i would have loved it if they made them blink with a blue backlight, but it's still nice. At least the back cover won't become grayish when the finishing will be worn, at a guess...my black one suffers from that a little, and take into account that my phone lives in a full body case 90% of the time

No offence but i prefer black, simply because the screen and proximity and camera looks odd on a white front. Looks more "out there" where as black looks stealth...

I think it's too early to make such assumptions, you have no idea how it would wear, if it wears at all
OK I ordered a blue phone and this looks purple to me??and my Dumb question is do I have bad paint job or is this damn thing purple? So disappointed Samsung!!!
I kinda like it the Pebble
I have the blue as well, I hate white phones but the blue with the glossy back sucks.
I ordered the black Carbon Fiber skin for the battery cover and the blk bumper. That should hide all of the ugly purple blue.
Blurple?
I thought it was going to be a more navy blue type color...reaching back to my kindergarten crayola days I would have to say it's more of a perrywinkle blue than a purple, But i'd be satisfied with blurple also. Living in alabama and not being a bama fan was absolute cause for not getting the red one!

I'm not a fan of the blue. It's so shinRyan and metallic. I'm gonna swap it for a white ken next week at the store.

Actually, that cover is not a bumper. It is a clear back cover.
It worked out well. The carbon fiber covers the back and the case is super slim with rubber edge to protect the screen and good for gripping.
No more Periwinkle/purblue and finger prints. on the back only the screen.

I think both black and silver are very cool. If I had to choose, I would pick Silver.
There are several interviews that say no red version will be available. The red was intended for Verizon and they are not going to carry the phone so red seems to be out.

Not a fan of the design in general but I think the black looks way better. The bright white lines on the silver model really make it appear disjointed and makes it look like a Transformers logo. You can still notice the breaks in the black model but it blends in more.
I've had all black phones for the Galaxy line so now that I'm jumping to HTC I think I'll change it up even more! Silver for me!
Black for me, i like the understated looks of it, always had black phones (or "glamour grey" in the case of One X)
black
silver...every phone is black nowadays..
Black if it becomes clear that the coating is tough, otherwise silver as that's the colour any scratches will show up as.
The black looks better IMO.
Silver for me! but I think they both look pretty sexy!

The silver looks cool. I'm afraid of the black paint fading or chipping. So I'd rather get the silver.
I will have too see them in person first.

Been wanting the colored X on the back of my phone and missed out when dbrands did the colored cut outs, and had parts of my X starting to peel off, so decided there's no better time to figure out how to color the X. Picked off the X and initially I was going to use the Testors brand of model paint. Got all the colors and got silver too so I could pick of the rest of the letters and do them as well. Along with the model paint I got some small syringes and some tiny craft needles and was going to put the paint in the grooves with the needle. Problem is, the paint in the syringe had a very tiny constant drip. The drip was slow, but too fast to get into each groove without getting some on the outside. I only managed to get the straight up and down part of the N done and had go another route. Watched a YouTube video of a guy that was coloring his Nexus 7 tablet and he had Sharpie Paint Pens. Never knew they had such an item. In his video he got pens with tips that were just a bit too big, he even says it in the video. I found a pack of pens on Amazon that had all the colors I needed with a fine tip on it. Works perfect! Here's some pics of the process, and links to get the pens to do it yourself. In the pics, it's just one layer of paint. I'm going to do more the next couple days as it dries, and then a touch of clean up if needed. The purple phone is my mom's phone. She wanted the X colored on her's too.

Purple glitter? Whatever gets your compass to point in the right direction. Anyway, good work on the letters.
Purple is OP's mom's phone.

I guess that if you put over a dbrand skin, it'll cover the imperfections. Also dbrand includes an "M" sticker so you could choose it white and it would do a perfect match.
I'll post another pic tomorrow. Looks much better with a second layer of paint and the spots that are just outside the lines on a couple parts in the first pics is gone. Comes off easy.
NICE!! I've been looking for a way to get this done. I have a dbrandz skin with only the X showing. might have to tape it off or something though cause it's already installed and it's white.
Even if I don't like the purple glow that much, it's really nice work.
Looks cooool...
Niiiiizzzzee!!
