Picked up a mytouch today and all the local T-Mobile stores only had black and plum available and no shipment info on red and white. I wanted to check out red and black, so for now i got the black and when the red comes in I will take alook at it and see which one I want, the black looks beautiful but I want to make sure its the color I want. Do the stores around you have all the colors?
I just got my phone a couple hours ago. They told me the same thing. But they did tell me of I want to come back in a few days they would swap it out and wave the restocking fee. Looking at the red floor model they had there wasn't much red anyway. I think I'll stick with black. So far the phone is awesome.

I was able to pick up a white one this morning from my local TMOBILE store. Miami, Fl.
I ordered online this morning and was told that in order to upgrade my acct and get the full discount I had to take white. I discussed this with them but they would not budge. Have no idea why. I went ahead and placed the order. Called back about an hour later and was told sure we can give you red but we must cancel the order and it must be cleared from the system before we can reorder it might take extra 3 to 5 days. I said never mind. Hard to figure why I had to take White. Perhaps they have limited quantities of certain colors and maybe white is considered to be a least popular color and they figure they will run short on the other colors so they push the white.
I ordered a white one via 611 - didnt inquire about other colors. Will be here Friday.
No Whites or Reds in Houston,TX went to 4 different stores... and no luck... those are my first choices dag nabbit
Wow I'm glad I'm not the only one..no stores in the Cincinnati tri state area have white or red in stock either. I'm going to call customer service and see what they have to say, if not I guess I'll pick up the black and hopefully white will be in stock within 14 days.
Very frustrating. I thought we were on tmobile and buying an HTC Android device, not an iPhone on AT&T?
First T-Mobile store I went to had only Plum.
I had to go across town to get a black one here in Dallas, TX.

Really annoying, isn't it?
They should start banning those who trying to get a post count this way.
Multiple sources now starting to confirm this news...
Would this affect your decision to get an S3? Some are already taking about passing on it completely unless the blue is available ASAP!
[UPDATE] Samsung Benelux PR Manager confirms delay of Pebble Blue to the Dutch market, reported by tweakers.net. Several other markets now reporting delays in Pebble Blue, at present UK still looks to be receiving stock of the Pebble Blue. Apparently problems in production of the rear-casing as speculated - tweakers.net say Samsung have destroyed 600,000 of the rear-cases and made changes to production!
Its probably due to demand from what are considered premium markets, namely Europe. Its also possible Samsung underestimated the popularity of the blue unit.
Quite why people would not buy one just because of a slight delay i don't know, nothing else is coming out by the end of June. Its just posturing, they will still buy one of the want one.
here in middle east so far only whites are available no blue..
it also might be because they've detected some flaw with the blue ones, and if that's the case samsung is doing the right thing with pulling those back. I'd rather wait a few weeks than have another One X experience, though I've pre-ordered the white one.
How about global shortage of food? More important imho

What a ridiculous comment in the article - " the near-universally disliked Marble White version"! Where is there any evidence for that at all? Sure, maybe more people prefer the blue but I have seen virtually no comments that the white is a bad colour and a lot of people on XDA have chosen the white over the blue - not just me .
I have heard rumours about this too. An employee in a local store said to my friend that they might not have the blue color available in 29th May. I ordered the white one.
haiz same here
malaysia gonna selling s3 soon, and local telco start pre-order it
and just got white colour for the option =_=

I agree with you. I chose blue because negri guy told me that white will be available two three days late...

I've just called the nice people at Clove.co.uk with whom I have my pre-order for a blue unit. They are currently not aware of any delays and are expecting to receive their first batch (including pebble blue ones) on Tuesday. Though obviously things can change between now and next week! But fingers crossed...

Samsung Nordic has said that there will be no blue at launch without really giving a reason more than to say they were just more popular. Although they said this to a number of retailers in Sweden, they have said it is true of all the Nordic countries. One of the retailers got them to offer a "hopefully maybe" later in the same week, but other retailers are now backtracking on the blue, pushing dates back to 15-19 June.
This story from NZ sounds more likely than their failing to get the mix right as I'm sure the operator pre-orders should have given them solid data as to what to expect.
My only qualms with the white one is the risk of glare from the white frame around the screen outdoors. I have a Samsung Media Player 5.0 that's white and I quite like it, but the frame around the screen itself is actually black.
Still, faced with deciding between a white early next week or a blue 2-3 weeks down the line, I'll go with the white.

Maybe Sammy should just release it in three colors: marble white and low-rider bondo multi-color at launch, followed by pebble blue next quarter.
Blue, white, it's still a great phone, if they don't have blue when I go to pick mine up and offer me white, then I will just go with white.

Maybe you're being a little over-sensitive? I only made that comment to stir the pot a little, and also because here in NZ I don't know of a single person who wanted the white (going of a few different NZ tech forums), everyone wants blue (I think we're fairly conservative in our handset selection here in NZ quite frankly).

As mentioned hopefully higher priority markets like the UK will be unaffected by this.
Not sure it's the wrong ordering mix here, since the Warehouse Stationary pre-ordered for both colours but have only now learnt they cannot get the white yet. There is also now confirmation from Malaysian and Thai buyers that only white is available to them...
i have a blue siii on pre order from play.com - they havent stated anything about lack of blue handsets on website - emailed them as well - dont seem to have any issues
Will keep cheking (as its getting quite close to release date now)
If this is true... this is a bunch of freaking BS.
This is really quite annoying. I have paid upfront for one from warehouse stationary in nz - blue of course. I've no interest in a white one. How could Samsung stuff up like this?

Sorry to break the news
Not sure how affected all markets will be, but it seems certain that NZ will only have the white available (updated article to reflect that even JB HiFI, who were saying they are getting blue ones as recently as this afternoon are now also stating white only).
EDIT: Now seeing buyers in Finland, Sweden, and Austria reporting their enquiries about delivery of the blue units are in doubt...
I'm thinking of switching my order to the white now
Ugh, got a micro-sim waiting at home (no adapter) and blue version preordered and if i preorder the white one i'll just be last on that list. (Not that i would want it)

I wanna get that $199 N4 its a real steal
I am going bank tomorrow to put in some cash in my account so I can transfer it to my friend who has a credit card with a US billing address.
Hopefully they don't sell out by tomorrow. This kind of price it sounds like they must be selling thousands per day and right now I sold my trash S3 mini and am using a $10 nokia black and white phone to make calls and use alarm app.
But I don't know which color to buy. Generally I HATE AND I MEAN I HATE White Galaxy S3 and S4
BUT thats Mostly because its plastic and the front of the phone is also white. The N4 is like the Galaxy Ace. The front is all black but back and sides alone are white.
But I hear the N4 sides can get discolored and dirty if its white
please help me decide I am so excited. So glad I didnt waste money on a S4 or Xperia Z
I should probably buy black since its always my favorite color in electronics

How about this, buy both phones, black and white, then try it out for a few days and then decide which one you like. Keep one and return the other Personally, I prefer black color.

No apart from not having the money to buy both
I live in the Caribbean so it cannot be returned and also getting one device alone into the country means I have to pay around $100 USD in TAX
So that would be $100 US wasted plus the shipping fee international.
i think its best be safe and go with black

Was hoping that Verizon would leave their fat logo off the back, no such luck. Here's a couple pictures of the Verizon demo showing the Logo and Bloatware installed.
I did purchase the Otterbox Commuter & Defender cases while I was there.
Long wait until the 17th for me.

Probably because Apple has a lot more clout than Android OEMs and it may be one of the requirements they have if a carrier is going to be selling their devices.

I wonder if it's really that, or if it's just a straight up business negotiation. Maybe Verizon pays to have the phone branded. Perhaps they paid out the ass when they put the VZW logo on the home button on the Note 2, they pay less when its ordinary back-of-phone branding, and they pay nothing when they get no logo. Maybe Apple just said, nah, we don't need the extra revenue.
that cookie jam crap. are they going to push apps again?

Verizon needs to step up their logo game...
There is no way Verizon changed the color of the phone. That is just crazy talk....settle down people. Same color as the T-Mobile, AT&T, and every other carrier out there. Do I like the 3 levels of rear branding...hell no....but I can live with it. I do think Verizon needs to reconsider the 4G LTE third row though, there is absolutely no need for that.

Don't give them any ideas
At this point I have exhausted all options. I have contacted every possible department with Sprint to try and confirm if they will be carrying the Carbon Grey. I do not understand how a company has no idea if they will be carrying a specific color. I want to grab the phone, and have been holding out on ordering as I want to see if the Carbon Grey is coming. If it isn't, I would just go and get the glacier silver, but if the carbon grey is on the way then I will wait. Anyone have any information if they will in fact have it eventually?
Probably will be in a few months after sales start to decline for the glacial silver. No source, just thinking from their perspective

TMo will only have silver as well, so the only way to get a carbon gray in the US in the foreseeable future is to buy the unlocked one from HTC.

I chatted with HTC and t-mobile. T-mobile said they will be carrying all 3 colors when it launches tomorrow on May 18th. Take it with a grain of salt though as I am sure no one has any idea. HTC said when more stock is available of the gray, they will open it up to more sales locations. As you can see on HTC's website, the unlocked gray is backordered.
One thing you may want to consider if you're going to use a case for your phone, you won't be able to see the color of the phone for as long as you have the case on unless you get a clear case. I waited to get the Harman kardon edition of the m8 and for the first months it was cool but after that I never took it out of the case so color really didn't matter. Just my experience, you don't have to agree.
