No colors for the US??? - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've been trying to find some of the alternate colors for the Note 3.
I'm on T-Mobile and I noticed they only offer black & white.
After digging a little deeper it looks like none of the carriers have the colorful varieties.
Can anyone confirm this. Can I get the Note 3 in other colors?

As far as I know you are stuck with white and black for the initial offering with pink to perhaps follow. Pink phones don't sell well and require inventory space. Space is At a premium for most retail shops.

Maybe you'll get them when you lot learn how to spell colours!

I can understand that. But, I kind of feel it's a rip to not give us all the options that Samsung offered.

... Maybe one of THESE? 7 bux. I ordered one. Not sure why as it'll be in a case most of the time but oh well...

There are three colors and you can have two of them. So you're lamenting not being able to buy Blush Pink? Since that's the only color missing your thread title should be "No Blush Pink for the US???"

Gold is Best. Best! Best! Best!
After watching the drop test video, I ended up pulling the trigger on a slim Spigen case. I'm hoping that at least maybe the impact to the case would help minimize shock to the phone a little bit. I know that getting a flip cover to protect the screen side would be more effective, but I don't think that I'd really want to flip the cover open each time I want to use my phone.

No thanks. We're more efficient over here. We're better about removing excess letters that aren't even pronounced in a word.

I'd consider using a pink Note 3 /rebelgade
Also, I personally wouldn't buy one of those aluminum back plates since the phone is designed with its factory plastic back plate in mind. My two cents, anyway.

Just wait a few months that's how Samsung roles.

Color options always come later on, but given its the a Galaxy Note device its not as common place as the Galaxy S line in color options. Still it might happen.

Just wait a little and before you know it just like the s4 we will have a lot of color options in the states

Supposedly it screws up the NFC feature, which I don't really care about at this point. Thought they look pretty slick personally. And for 7 bux shipped, no big loss if it's junk...

If you were to speak English properly, you would pronounce them, albeit subtly!
It also wasn't a very efficient removal either since only half a job was done - Photo/Foto and Quick/Kwik spring to mind....

Something is stock in the bezel...

Hi,..guys,.
I was just wiping my phone with microfiber cloth and to my sharp eyes...just above the power button...I stumble upon an object that is stuck between the bezel or the bezel it self has a flaw?. it measures about 0.5cm straight vertical line. I tried to take it out with a paper ...it's the only object that is thinner to pass thru the side of the bezel...but the object wont budge. or maybe it was the plastic bezel it self. Can I return this phone? And get a replacement?
Pretty sure that Google wouldn't replace the phone as its physical damage and it isn't necessarily defective by any means. Just get a case and cover it.

I think it's a manufacturer's flaw....that object wound't be there so deep...at first place. or maybe it's the plastic bezel it self. Well I payed for a phone that doesn't come with a flaw right? So that's my justification.

I don't know what it is or how it got there. You're best thing to do is to ask them to see what they would do for you. You didn't notice it until just recently it could of due to user fault. The bezel affects absolutely nothing on the phone and is a cosmetic problem.
Like again, just contact them and see what they can do. No body here can say otherwise

Not only does that phone need to go back, you should also start an online petition and force Andy Rubin himself to answer for why a 0.5cm line could possibly make it through Quality Control.. Google fails us again

Can't blame them. They had to meet supply for its demand. At least on a good note they have a really nice rma. You get to keep your phone while they send your replacement in with a temporary charge. When they receive the original device they take the charge off.

Every device or product made will have some sort of manufacturing defect. Nothings perfect. What matters is how the company responds to it. Like I said, they have a good rma service and they should be able to take care of your problem
Production for Nexus 4 is done in South Korea not China. They don't use child labor there or overwork them on ridiculous hours.

Temporary charge so they assure you that you send your device back otherwise you'd be charged with two of them. You'll get your money back.
I don't understand why you make such a big deal about it and then you're worried about a TEMPORARY charge? It's there so you don't keep two N4s.
For units that have been damaged after delivery, you may be charged an additional restocking fee of either 25% or 50% of the original purchase price based on the severity of damage. If we receive a return which has been damaged beyond repair, we may return the item to you without issuing a refund.

Samsung Galaxy S III mini to get Red, Black and Grey color options

Acording to gsmarena, our phone is getting some more colour options, just like the SGSIII. Here is the link:

Too little to late for me. Would have probably stayed with pebble blue anyway though.
Yes, but it gives me hope that Samsung wont forget about supporting this phone very quickly..And that will gain popularity.
True. Hope it motivates more people to get it. And that grey is very cool.

That violet is absolutely gorgeous. Too bad I can't get it.
I'm really stuck between Verizon's gross black or white. I hear the white version feels more matte compared to the black's glossy feels, so will probably end up with that. I tend to like all black and Verizon already ruined that with gaudy accents...
Shine Gold is amazing. Much better than the Galaxy S5 gold for sure.
I only had two choices, black or white (AT&T). I didn't even know that there was a "violet"....interesting...

I got the black(grey) one. I don't need a "look at me" gold-ish phone. Although, for a gold blingy phone, it is not bad.
Just preordered the white one, wanted the storm trooper look haha

I was hoping Verizon would get Burgundy. I'm kind of hoping they offer it as a Qi charging back option so I can swap it, though it would probably look better on a black bezel instead of the white one I ordered.
Can't decide if I want black or white I'm scared the white might turn yellow after a while

I tried. I simply based it on the only article I saw at the time.
I had to actually break out the browser to do it since I didn't see a way to do it with the app.
Having looked at the potential, they could do some really cool things with this spen.
I wish it had a mic and small speaker on it, nothing crazy or fancy. I thought at one time there was a Bluetooth one you could answer calls on but I can't remember exactly

Try the other color.. they have a diferent feel to them, and artists might want to use the other ones. it was confirmed in a note 3 thread that the two tip types are slightly different, and are made of different materials.
