Not wackho jacko but G1. any advantages to white / black i.e. scratches finger prints muck?
I have a black one, cos Im an smoker...
I personally think the white is too i-pod coloured for my tastes so was gunna get the black one as I think its less in your face (also less inviting to mr thief)
so if all is good once someone confirms if the sat nav is any good as per my other thread i might be ordering sat nav
I think the white one looks slick. I wanted to get one, but I found a black one on ebay for $200. I could not pass on that.
as you can now see in my sig it says Blackstone (same cost: free phone, £30.00 pm for 18months)
I liked the white, but my wife thought it looked to much like a toy and "girly".
I also thought that white might show some scratches more. Especially if it bumps up against something a different color.
I ended up with black because that's all they had. I considered the bronze, but never saw it in person.
Double post and I don't know how to delete. Sorry.
White has issues seeing the letters on the keys in certain light.
White
I have the white one and I am a Bus Mechanic. I have about 7 friends with the black one that they kind of like mine. (Probably because its the only white one, not because of the color)
Problems:
Back is a silverish grey which kind of rubs around the corners and looks kind of bronze/brown. (I replaced with a Black Battery Cover)
I can imagine it would look horrible if it got chipped. I take good care of mine, but I still use it a lot.
Like the above poster said. The keyboard is kind of silverish grey and under certain light conditions it can be difficult to see. There is an application that you can download to turn on and off the backlight which helps a little, although I think eventually like any keyboard you will get accustomed to using it and not so much rely on seeing the keys.
Oddly enough given that my trade is all grease and diesel oil, it has stood up for 2 months w/o any problems and it is as white as the day I got it.
I have two GS3's. The one I'm currently using has a pretty white screen, while the other one is more yellowish. I'm wondering if there is some glue in this phone like in the iPhone and One X that will change during initial use (took a few weeks in the One X) which will make the yellowish GS3 unit come toward white and the currently white one go in some other direction.
I was having problems with my HTC one silver device, and AT&T sent a black replacement, so I got the chance to compare this two devices before I send on e of them back.
The only difference I noticed beside the color, is that the black one's screen's color seemed to be more realistic and displays the color white much better. And the silver one's screen's color seemed kind of darker, and when displaying the color white, it appears to be shifting to yellow. And the differences are VERY big!
I am sure it is not a simple difference between a silver device and a black one, and It looks like HTC One's quality control and quality consistency are really in doubt...
The One might be coming with different screen manufactures.
Also having a silver bezel opposed to a black bezel, can change the way we see things, one of the reasons i bought a black version.

John.
Alright, I delete that other post, make this one into POLL.
So, do you prefer black or white device?
I heard the Black one has one advantage, the black border around the screen, which can totally ignore, but the one white, you still can see black border.
You honestly won't notice the black border unless you're trying to find it, lol. I never noticed it until you guys pointed it out. White looks great. I have a white Note 3, which is why I decided to get the white version. Another reason is due to fingerprints I read about. The black apparently is known to be a fingerprint magnet.
Agree the border is no issue at all did either noticed it before someone here mentioned it and I really looked for it. I picked the white because it released first, but think I would have picked either way, I like the color.

I had the white and now I have the black. Both look great but the black matches my Verizon G2.

I brought a black one. Can't stand the black boarder between edge of the screen and the bezel on the white version.
White, I'm hoping to reach my country (Chile)
i got my White Modell, but not fully aware.
On Full Screen Videos, example in Youtube remain black borders at the top and bottom of the screen.
That does not fit in contrast to the white model (black bars).
It would be nice if you could hide the edges of the frame, but that will probably not go, because of the resolution (16:10) of the display?!
Regards
I had a white HTC one x and couldn't keep the dirt off for the life of me. I must stick to black lol
I have the black one, it was the one Asda had on offer BUT I prefer it to the white one
I have a white S3, next phone will be black
This is the first device that I actually prefer in white. Although honestly, they both look great.
I have a black G2 though, I need my phone to match my car's interior.

White.. because i dont want to see my fingerprints on the back all time..
Black model
I had the white model but then exchanged it for the black model. The features of the OS go much better with the black. Once there is a ROM for pure Android I think it will go much better with black than white.
White no doubt like the LG G2 its shorter brother it looks better in this colour'
I prefer Black, but you can only get the White model here in Australia so that's what I have!

Hey guys, I am struggling to decide on which color to import. I have traditionally always had black phones, but the white body in screenshots at least looks really good.
Are there any advantages/disadvantages to going white vs. black with the Z3c?
I've always had black phones too. I bought a used white moto x a couple months back. I love it more and more every day. I definitely getting the white z3c. The black one just looks boring.
I went for the white one. Have had several black phones and wanted a change. Would have done the red / orange model but the black bezel looks tacky to me.
I did white too. Should shoe fewer fingerprints than black.

I went for Black - looks more professional. I like keeping my phones in cases anyway though
I went for black, never had a white phone, although I do have a niggling feeling perhaps I should have tried white, it does look good.
I ordered the white one. I changed it to the red one awhile later. I saw a video of the black one and it looks really classy to me so I changed my order to black :laugh:
I originally wanted the mandarin red, then saw some videos of the mint green and thought that would be really cool, but unfortunately, the green won't be available unlocked for some time yet. After hearing more testimonials about the red and how brilliant it was, I'm convinced it's the right choice. Basically, I wanted anything other than black and white because as safe, classy, and sleek as those choices are, I find them to be rather bland. If I had to choose though, I'd go with white, only because most of my devices have always been black and I wanted something different.
I had a Z1c in black for quite sometimes and bought my brother the Z1c in white and gotta say the white does looks really good. But currently can not really say much about the z3c as it is not available yet in Australia. The best way would have to go and look for yourself which one would suit your taste better. But i would say the white looks good on picture. The only that might be a concern that is the seal around the screen is white as well, just do not know would it be stain over time

TBH I don't get your question at all, since it's purely opinion based.
If there would be a technical difference based on the color, most people would get the color that had the technical upper hand.
You don't ask your friends either if you should have a blonde/brunette girlfriend/boyfriend, since it's all just based on taste.:angel:
You are absolutely right but you have to understand that we are all really excited about this phone and we just discuss all kinds of bul**** about it until the delivery agent rings the doorbell and leaves the white box in our hands...

confused i am using the hox white, and looks really cool. Perhaps i might try the black this time, It will also match with my sony xb90ex earphones
I prefer black because I don't like how the sensor cutout, speaker, and camera lens standout on white.
If I could get black front and white back like my Dev moto x, that would be awesome. I guess I can still do that with a white skin for the back.

Not necessarily. White will show less fingerprints, but might discolor over time. There are a few objective traits each color exhibit, and since I feel torn between the two aesthetically, I wanted to discuss some objective reasons one color might benefit over the other.

The white is covered in glass on both sides so why would it discolor?

I think the plastic edges might discolor.

it won`t.
At least it didn`t on my white Z.
I think another disadvantage of a white one would be the white front panel making the display appear darker, I think in sunny weather the white could actually "blind" you a little, making the screen a tad more difficult to read.
I've occasionally had overheating problems with sunlight coming in through a car window. White might be helpful.
