Gold HTC One to celebrate the 18th year of the MOBO (Music Of Black Origin) awards here in the UK
http://www.htc.com/uk/campaign/gold-htc-one/
Not for sale, and only 5 made, it's valued at over £2,000
Noticed no beats logo. I wonder if it's excluded. Not that I'd buy it lol.
I was told about this earlier looks good but I'm gonna wait for a platinum one I think.
Goldgenie has them on the web ,delivers world wide ,so its not really exclusive to HTC ,they do iphones and Samsung's as well ,platinum and rose gold too

But these are made by HTC, not customised by a third party
@EddyOS
The Gold Edition is awesome, but if they have the purple tint how to resolve?
There are only 5 phones
Amazing they can take a simple beautiful "cheap" phone and turn into an expensive tacky one

Still official as opposed to a third party, so are warranted. Not sure why I'm making this point as no one will ever have one!

The Chamapner Gold from iPhone 5S, is imho much better.

It's just such an obnoxious way to get a gold... Sadly this is something Apple did better. The way the gold iPhone looks much better, definitely agree there.
I disagree.. the Gold "Mobo" One looks meh.. but thiiiis:

I remember changing the colour of your phone was as easy as changing the housing. Why is it a different colour gets people so excited I don't get i , but each to there own.

Just wondering if anyone out there has actually ordered their nexus one throughh colorware? Or have gotten theirs colored? I'm just wondering if anyone has done this considering a new nexus colored from them is 800...
and to send yours in is only 175....seems that the prices dont make any sense to me
Personally, I'd just have some fun and dissassemble my phone myself and paint it
Eh, the price difference makes sense to me; for each that they sell outright, that's stock they need to purchase, and keep onhand untill called for - and hope it gets called for. They can take a bath if they overorder, overestimate demand.
~60$ seems like a decent discrepancy between you-provide-hardware vs we-have-to-keep-one-in-stock-for-you.
The price difference is also because of the warranty. If you buy a colored device from them you get 1 year parts and labor warranty (if anything breaks, send it back for new one), if you send in a device to get colored it's only something like 30 days and colored parts only or something.
I have not had my n1 done, but have had several other devices done and the quality is just amazing. The color bonding process they use creates a stock colored look rather then having just painted over the stock case (if that makes sense at all).
wow.
That's neat, i didnt know they had a warranty with the painting.
I was actually considering getting the only white nexus one i love my white g1
Anyone done this yet? I'm looking for a way to waste $200 and it has come down to brembo rotors or colorware my N1.
Although colorware does do an excellent job, I can't see spending 200 dollars on a paint job. For that kind of money I would have someone replace the case with some kind of metal, like the Titanium iPhone.

One vote - Brembo rotors
But, how sweet would an all white N1 look? I hate the two tone it has now. It would also make the N1 really easy to sell, although you would never make the money back on the investment, maybe half.
My car stops fairly well as is but the N1 could look a lot better.

I've just knocked my XZ off my sofa whilst on charge and it hit a tile from my fire place! Checked the phone thoroughly and was just about to go get a beer to celebrate when I noticed a small little crack on the side under the volume button :'(
Its not really noticeable tbh but I know it's there! I might get three to exchange it now and say somethings wrong with it as it will bug me like hell!
Dam this is first time I have been clumsy with a phone!

I take mine out at home. Solely to keep it clean outside I put it in a case, not to mention protection. Also, if you have it in a case it's harder for potential thieves to spot expensive phones from worthless ones. A big thin slab looks expensive.

2. I don't live in an area with a lot of crime or poor people.
But we are having a stupid discussion here. Some people like to have some extra protection and some people don't. It's easy as that.

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!

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....

If that is glass I might have to rethink this device. Part of what made the One so durable was the fact that it didnt have glass covering the whole front. Call me paranoid but covering the speaker grills with glass is likely going to result in busted glass. I really hope it's just reflection and glass dust but it doesn't appear that way so maybe I need to wait for drop test results.
No. The speaker grills are seperate. Look closely. Those are metal scratch on the grill and not from the glass extension.

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 love the white as it looks more like a ceramic knife . Black is boring, purple is for metro sexual and red is a gay color imho

(but I will get the Gold for the wife)
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
hopefully getting white

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
