What colour x10?

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.

Where are my Black on Black MT4G users?

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

Better screen in newer Vibrants?

So I have had my vibrant since the beginning. I just got my wife one and the weird thing is her screen is so much better than mine. Her screen does not have the greyish look in white colors. Its very bright and white. I have compared with brightness levels the same and on different roms with the same effect. The new vibrants screen looks so much better.
Sent from a Galaxy S far....far....away.

its the same...
happened to me yesterday when i got a new one as well..
A guy told me..
that it was because the stock kernel isn't trying to save battery, while the custom kernels you flash are saving battery so they lower their contrast, brightness etc.
Where as Stock kernels go full-out with everything at maximum
Hope i answered your question.

NO, newer Vibrant's don't have better screens. This is an old issue.

Ok this is an old issue. Newer Vibrants do not have better screens.
No two Vibrant screens are alike.
From it's release date, every single Vibrant was like a box of chocolates, you never knew what tint your display would be.
Some vibrants come with blue tint, others with grey, some yellow, some red, some brown.
It is a quality control issue and has nothing to do with the manufacture date.

There are many more links about tint issues with super amoled. Like I said, no two screens are alike, and trying to get a replacement might get you one with an even uglier tint.

Really? Never knew about this..
I notice no tint on my screen, even if its compared to my brothers...
Hmm.. Yes his screen does seem a bit different but not much its not the color but the brightness hes always at max... so it looks brighter... hmmm
interesting.

If it looks brighter at the same brightness settings, its probably because you have the power saving box checked in display while she doesn't. I thought the same thing when I compared to my friend's new vibrant, but after I unchecked the box it looked the same.

First of all dont treat me like I am a noob. I have been on the forums years longer than almost everyone here. Second all of the settings are exactly the same. Same roms and so on. 3rd I never talked about getting a replacement, I am just fine with the one I have so dont EVEN bring this up. I will be buying a 3rd vibrant next week for my daughter and I will see how that one compares. If it is a new model and is just as bright as my wifes then I will think that something has changed. Amoled or not there is no reason why there will be so many differences as you have stated. Here is a thought for you: Is everyones eyes the same.....NOPE. Every person sees colors completely different, no two are the same. I am not going by what other people think I am basing my opinion with my eyes and soon to be 3 different vibrant phones.

Noob... nice op.

Couple of things...... One, alot of the people on this forum really do not understand writing etiquette...... I agree actually with you, it very hard to interpret some of the writing as neutral when (intentionally or not) they are couched in sarcasm and innuendo. Now that I got that off my chest........
The Amoled screens, when they were making them in May-Sept, there was a huge shortage because of lack of manufacturing capacity. As a result, alot of the q/c was suspect. Mostly because they did not go the full 100%. Added to that there are limitations in the process (since effectively they are grown (the amoled)and so it is a slower process. Samsung oversold their phones and in June had to start building a 2.1 Billion manufacturing Amoled facility.
Anyway, all this background to say YES the new amoled are of a better quality, I have noticed it as well I got a vibrant for my wife in December and it is a nicer screen view for sure.
Hope that helps

Negative wait til the screen settles in a bit my friend got A 4g and my phone and his ended up looking the same

Samsung brought PINK GALAXY NOTE - GOOD NEWS FOR WOMEN I GUESS...

I got this picture from Korean galaxy note forum today...
Samsung might increase the sales with this pink galaxy note version ...

Yeah, I definitely think their Note sales should get a minor boost from the pink version. However, this "berry pink" version (just like the GS2) is an ugly pink. It be better if they made it darker...like close to magenta pink.
For women...if they want the looks and aesthetics of a Note, I would still recommend they get a ceramic white one over think 'berry pink' version.

Asked my wife if she wanted one
From the Beast : Galaxy Note

I would not be one who is buying pink Galaxy Note but I think there is many people who would buy as I have seen pink phone cases even for guys.
At least this is the way to be different and many people will use this option for sure.
It's like buying white one but even more hard core I guess!
Here is more pic of thislovely phone: http://samsunggalaxys3review.net/berry-pink-samsung-galaxy-note-unveiled-and-heads-to-mwc/

Not all women like pink tbh. Black > White > Any other colour > Pink.

I think the pink looks fine; why are guys commenting on which shade of pink is nice anyway!
But red would have been even more unisex I think. I always see guys with red clothing, especially on the football field.
White looks iphonish to me. Or maybe I'm just suffering from sour grapes coz the white was released two weeks after I got my phone and was overseas! Ugh!!

I can guarantee that there will be men purchasing pink ones.....discuss...

Awesome. Now Samsung just needs a direct marketing campaign for women with giant hands

I don't know, it's kinda hard imagining Samsung selling enough of these to make it worthwhile. The note is already a niche device itself. Then top it off with a niche color?

It might be better this color

Not only are your comments homophobic but I see you do sexism quite well too.
Pink is traditionally a feminine colour, but to imply all gay people are feminine is outdated and insulting. You need to grow up.
XDA Member forum rules 2.4 and 2.5 .. read them and respect other people.

Thread Cleaned​
OK people, lets try to keep this on topic. Try not to post things that others might find offensive.​

Reminds me of Mary Kay's pink Cadillacs. If you want your phone looking like it was just dipped in Pepto Bizmol, then go for it.

Looks ugly to me but... womans need thier toys too

I would buy it just to have something different.
White is best tho. Hides all the imperfections. Black shows everything

White and blue note 10.1

Hi. Im just about to place order for note 10.1 can any one suggest me for which color i should go for? Plw advise right now cause tomorrow is off and i want tablet today. So its a last minute suggestion from u guys... i always ask xda community for colors at last moment...

Personal taste mate, I picked grey/black cos I liked that, others prefer white... The hardware is the same either way....
Mine doesn't matter anyway as I stick it in a folder style case for protection and ease of carrying.

Im a dark color kind of person..i like dark color..so i pickup dark gray..

No offense friend but do you ever spend ANY time searching the forum before posting a new question? Just as with your previous question, this subject has been discussed to death in multiple threads.
That being said, you'll probably put your tablet in a case so the color doesn't really matter. My experience with my SGS2 is that a black case stained the white plastic so you may want to keep that in mind. I bought the carbon one.

Depending on where you at the white in the usa is on 0nly 16gb the blue one comes in16 and 32 gb thats what i can tell you

u r right dude but this is my last thread about note and colors. i have pre ordered for a white one. i will not put my tablet in case. i dont even put my phone in a case or what not. that looks kinda odd to me. cause these devices are made colorful and beautiful to show, not to protect in ugly cases... im not saying u should not be careless but taking full care is a must when not using cases... or else..... u know Gorilla glass 2 on Samsung Galaxy S3...

The white model looks good in cases and by itself. And the biggest pro for me is that it probably shows up fingerprints around the bezel less easily. I can't stand a fingerprint stained screen.
I got the dark blue/grey one in the end coz I didn't trust my hands with the white inbuilt s pen with my sweaty palm and all. The dark blue/grey one makes a very nice contrast against the chromish speaker grill and sides I must admit.
But either colour looks equally good
the whole GALAXY to NOTE about...counting down from 10 to 1.

Yeah really its just a matter of taste. Hope you never drop your tablet. These things don't bounce well.

Actually, as posted In another thread, I've proven the opposite to be true. Two drops so far without a case. Slippery little sucker! Faired extremely well. At least now I finally have a case. :laugh:

White looks good... buttt with amoled screens and me loving to watch videos I went with the dark one, I feel like the white will distract me when I'm watching a video whereas a dark color would just dissapear... make sense? Oh plus I went to the apple store and saw how dirty the white iPad looked so consider that as well.

Deep grey is cool.

u can watch videos on youtube with two colors , mine is white i choosed it cuz i didnt find black only grey and i love white&black only

Again its like the egg and chicken theory which never ends this will never end take what you like and once you buy it you will put it in a case so what you took in first place will not matter anyways simple as it is
