Gunmetal by far and not because that was the only choice from AT&T.

I got both, one for me and one for the wife, then we argued over who wanted what colour, I got the grey?

I'm still waiting for the Glacial Silver on ATT. I prefer the texture of the Silver and Gold ones to the Gunmetal.
I'm going for the Gunmetal, mainly because I want a change from my current silver M7.
I just hope its not more prone to scratches ):
I ordered Gold this time. Had Silver first. Majority of the people I've seen had Gunmetal. When red is released I'll get that one.

Gunmetal gray for me. Gold would be nice but I think those will be in short order where I live so I´ll take the next best thing (or the best depending how its goint to look in real life).
I'll be getting the Gunmetal Grey one.
The silver M7 looked great, but only because the white plastic went great with it.
I think Gold looks gaudy on both the M7 and M8.
I had a silver m7. Gunmetal looks nice bit then again I might like the silver one. Gold is really not an option.

I have heard that the gunmetal grey color is much more slippery than the silver one. Can somebody confirm this?

I actually legitimately prefer the white back. I like the glossy finish vs the "brushed" finish.
But, now that I have the Tab installed in the samsung case, amounts to a hill of beans difference! Love the case!!
If you're concerned about what the back looks like, you're using it wrong.

I tried to tell myself that when I first purchased the white one inadvertently. But aside from the color, the feel of the brushed grey is far superior (IMO) to the white plastic. The plastic feel of the white model just makes it feel cheap. The brushed grey almost makes me feel like its brushed aluminum...
ooohh.... yeah i mean gray actaully not that black
i think the gray or black will be better
Got the white, which was the only option at the local BB for the 32G version. As others mentioned, you can't see it during day to day use. The feel of the white back is that of any glossy plastic. Haven't held the ggray one, so I can't compare. Ideally, I wanted gray, but I'm very happy with my tab, regardless of color. Frankly, this is my first android device that I haven't rooted - I'm that happy with it.

HAHAH! That's hilarious.
I/O but.. White in this poll
I picked up the white one the other day at BestBuy for $541.24 with tax.. It got a lot of finger marks on the back after using it for a little bit. I returned it after finding a new in box black one for $450 on craigslist
This happened to be the "black" one (more like graphite grey or something) and this seems more resistant to finger prints. And beeing a little less smooth it seems like the grip is a bit better.
Thats just my $.02 though
since the front is NOT white in anycase like the iPad I would say black and grey is the best combo.

So it all boils down to wanting to look like the iPad? I honestly don't get that. The GT10.1 is superior to the iPad in so many ways - why would you want it to look like one?
The textured back on the gray has a great, secure feel, especially while scrolling screens and holding one-handed. I didn't want the white because of finger prints, assuming I would keep it naked in use and pouched for transport. The difference is night and day, but I miss having a built-in stand with a cover, so it likely won't matter in the end.

If you hate fingerprints on your phone, then the white one is best. But I think the white ones look cheaper and more "plastic" in appearance. The black ones look better to me.

Verizon says I can have any color I want as long as it happens to be black....
I'm getting a black phone, of course. I'm a man after all.
I like white phones but I rely on the LED notification a lot!
I notice that on black phones the notification led seems more pronounced with the darker surrounding background, on my white S4 I sometimes miss it when I glance at the phone from a distance.
Stupid reason from some but it's a real good reason to choose black for me.

I'm thinking white, my Iphone 5 is white and has the same black bezel around the screen, making it look smaller, but I don't really mind.
White looks a bit more trendy and different. I've only had grey/black phones so up until now and I'm in love with the iphone's white looks. The G2 looks really nice in white too - grabs more attention.
Only one thing - do you think the silver paint on the back buttons might wear out faster?
I own a white G2, I have bought this case for it.
The white looks great, but beware! If you plan to get the same case (which is awesome btw) or any other white rubber case, it will slowly turn into any color it touches the most. Eg. mine is slowly turning into blue, because of my blue jeans! I keep it in my pocket.
Doesn't look that bad, but maybe some will hate it!
I have a white G2 with a black Diztronic tpu case and I love it. The white looks really nice and doesn't show fingerprints without the case.

I have white in all honestly I love the phone in white it makes the screen and everything pop out more for me. Granted notification led doesn't look the best compared to the black model but I would definitely go for the white. Most people have black anyways and with most cases being black now it just doesn't look good with the phone being black. I have the otter box case and black on white looks amazing with this phone.

I was gonna buy the white one because the black version didn't look good in videos and photos, but when i saw it close up i was convinced to get the black one.
I went with black.

Thus, black G2 with a dark red matte case makes me happy.

I wish Google would have launched it with the white version as an option! I guess my white carbon fiber dbrand skins on the front an back will have to do for me. If the display of the white version was also white, then I'd probably sell mine and buy it in white. Anyone else like the new white version?

but anyway i wouldnt sell mine for that one (i mean, i preffer white, but hell it's not a big difference) and lot of users use covers
Just the backplate is white. The bezel is still black. I recently popped off my N7 cover and there are lots of built in antennas and connectors. Don't know if 3rd party manufacturers could make replacements. Probably.

Never understood that decision. If you make a white device, make it all white; not just the back.
You put a cover/case on it, and it makes no difference.

My thoughts exactly.
Yea, just buy a white feather case and BAM
Coming from AMOLED screens, I do find the white bezel contrast helps make the LCD "blacks" look darker. That is one of the annoying things about coming from an AMOLED where you can't tell where the screen starts/stops to an LCD where you can distinctively see the LCD panel compared to a black black panel border.
I've never owned a white device. I wanted a white G2, but Verizon only sold it in black... well now there is a white one. My N7... now there is a white one. I dunno. There are companies who make the Glass style screen protectors that actually have painted undercoats that can change the color and appearance of the front bezels. I'm waiting for a white review unit for my G2.

Style options create inventory management and supply chain complexity. The more parts in common between styles, the lower the level of complexity.

EXACTLY!! Not sure why some manufacturers understand that concept, and some don't. I realize that it keeps the production costs down, as they don't have to remanufactuer the front half. I for one wouldn't mind paying a little more for an ALL white version though!

Hi everyone, I'm just wondering what colour M9 everyone will be buying - Adam
I wish they had a "Silver/Silver" model.
I'll probably go for a silver/gold M9.
Just so it's different from my Grey M8. ?
I would go for the black/grey model if similar to previous m7/m8. I haven't stumbled on any pictures of it yet. I'm a bit bored of the silver version.

The silver/gold one because by the time I put it in a cover it will look a lot like my beloved M7.
Thanks for the votes so far everyone, Gunmetal is looking popular. I can't decide between either that or gold/silver, i really want to pre order but might wait it out to view one instore first - Adam
Will be going for the Gunmetal (grey) myself
Silver and gold trim will be the best for sure
Gunmetal for sure the best One.

Does the gun metal fade/ chip if used without cover? The black M7 has this problem. So I have to use it with a cover.
I like Black, (I have black M7), but it's doesn't present this time, I'll go for Silver/gold is something new. Gun metal is too mach identical to the M8
Samething for me ...
I can't decide between gold/silver or gunmetal, i might wait it out to view one in store.
Thanks again for all the votes so far guys!, i just ordered the Silver/Gold even though i think i prefer the Gunmetal.
This is because my M8 is Gunmetal and i want something fresh - Adam
I really like the glacial silver we had in M8 over the other options in terms of color, finish and feel (prefer it over the hairline finish). I wonder if HTC will have that for the M9 at some point of time.
That depends if the Gunmetal black scratches like the Black HTC One M7. 2 years ago when I had the silver one, I got into a conversation with someone and they mentioned that when the black variant got scratched, you could see silver streaks all over it. So since then I've defaulted to silver being a safe choice.
If someone could tell me that the color of gunmetal is the color of the metal, and not just a paint cover, that may influence my choice to pick the darker one.
I'm getting gunmetal look like my m8, was going for the gold, but I didn't wanna wait till week 21,
So changed my order to gunmetal look.
If it only was 31th already,

Would like to know this too!
As far as I can tell its very similar to the gunmetal of the M8 and not actually as dark as the promotional images suggest, its definitely not the black of the M7.
I would be very very surprised if the colour of the M9 is actually the colour of the metal and not just some kind of anodization process. I know that where I've dropped my M8 all the dings show up silver underneath but not to the extent of how some peoples black M7 ended up looking - Adam
Although I have a poll for this thread, I'm sure it could never capture all the various things everyone will do. But how do you plan to order your Moto X Style/Pure?
I'm so happy about this one, I'm going the whole 9 yards:
SD Card Slot
64GB
Black Leather back
Some custom text on the back.
Who knows, if they offer more, I may get that too .
Edit: Sorry for including the MicroSD as a poll option. I didn't realize it was part of the stock spec at the time.
I didn't understand the SD card was an add on.

I'm starting to think I won't get any text on the back. That may not go over well in certain business and formal settings.
So I'll get the black leather, with probably silver accents. The front will also be black.

No idea yet on any accents and as for engraving...welllllll, I tend to sell my phones so I doubt that anyone will want someone else's name engraved on their newly purchased used phone!

I was thinking the same, but I am worried about the grip, considering how big it is. Now thinking regular black back with blue metal accent. I love the charcoal ash and walnut backs, but not sure how practical they are for the long term.
While I'd prefer the bamboo or walnut backs, I think I'm going with Ebony. Engraving appears to stand out better on that back. So yes on the engraving and I'm hoping to grab the 64GB.
I hope they come out with a keyboard accessory like the note 5! :/
