Peel the label just a little, if the interior have the same color as the exterior (grayish) then is an original, if silverish or mirror then is a fake.

It's unibody so grey alminium.....
Only thing may get other colours would be the plastic/rubber/plastic parts.

The unibody is made out of aluminium and with anodizing aluminium you can add colors even white is possible.
Though, I don't think they'll be doing different colors.
a white regular desire has been spotted maybe they'll relase a white desire and D'HD and the same time

Pull it apart. Get it anodized in your color and reassemble. See how easy that was...

Several of the live videos are showing it with a brown back. And many pictures flying around are showing it black.
So it seems to be available in 2 colors?

I've not seen the black version in any recent pics/video. Perhaps this was a pre-release version?? Would be nice to have confirmation what color and what type of screen the phone has before ordering!

haha yes all the pictures on htc suggest brown so id say its pretty safe to bet on a brown one
GSMArena says it comes in Black and Brown, new HTC video seems to show the desire HD in both black and brown too, black can be seen towards the end of the video (35s):

Picked up these pics on the net:

I personally want a black one, I've got my pre-order in at Play.com but the pics there show the brown one, it's all a bit confusing.

you can order the black in sweden at least

I'm still not convinced. The video still looks like the brown (graphite) one to me. The picture just looks like a palette swapped version of the other one.
I'm hoping something more conclusive can prove me wrong! I don't mind what colour I get really - but I still fullly expect there to only be one at launch.
From Clove Technology (quite a reliable retailer)
'As far as we are aware we will be receiving the Brown model. Generally HTC give the black versions of their phones as a network exclusive in the UK. Whichever colour is released in the UK as SIM free/unlocked will be the same for every UK retailer'

[SERVICE] white SGS

Okay just testing the water here.
Would people want there samsung galaxy s changed to white?
would mean changing the
LCD
Mid section
Usb slider
Volume buttons
Power button
Back case
Service would be around £150 ( mainly due to the LCD)
All with official parts.
Based in Blackpool but would accept posted phones from the UK.
Get one knocked up and post a photo.
Doc 9.1.4, jpy, Tegrak, VA orange.
Just ordered 2 lets of parts from Samsung. Which is why I put testing the water. Should have pics in a week or so.

New screen is for the bezel that's it, its slightly lighter in colour,
if you didn't want that would knock down the price a fair bit.
Just got the white parts, they look realllly nice.
the bezel is chrome like on the iPhone not dirty colour.
have to wait until the 11th for the back cover as they are out of stock at the mo.
White not in a million years its to common .
Silver or a nice gunmetal blue yes .

Any UK DHD Black Edition user?

I was wondering anyone here from UK has the Black edition of the DHD from Orange.
I was trying to search for some real life photographs of it without result.
From stocks image, it looks pretty awesome, and I was thinking of getting it, but it would suck if there is a big orange logo stamped on it. Anyone can confirm?
Thanks

the only orange branding on it, is on the battery cover (easly replaceable)
Thanks. I just looked up the bottom cover on ebay. £14 a cover still a rip off !
I had it in my presence for a day or so...
Unfortunately when I compared it to my brown DHD, I must say I much preferred the brown look. The orange logo in my opinion is a bit of an eyesore but its not that big.

May I ask why in particular? Or it is just a preference of colour personally?
i have one and it much nicer than the brown (i have both)
Hi
i own the black edition, and yes the orange logo is not very nice, but i plan to get another cover for it...
Anyway, the phone is quite nice, i must admit i've not seen (live) the brown one, but this is quite nice in black...
since the logo is printed on the bottom cover, we can replace luckily. But the thing is I only found the coffee colour version of it. and its not cheap, 15-20quid for that tiny cover.

Honestly its my colour preference.
To me the brown just looks more full. It looks weighty and expensive.

Can you post some pix of your Black DHD mate?
My mates got a black one sim free no logos. Looks good but seems plain to me.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Most phones are black, this kind of brown colour gives you a sense of independence, it'll be very hard to come across something cheap that's brown not black.
I think the brown sort of shows different colour under different lighting, sometimes you even see it in silver. The black edition is totally matte black I think.
Where did you friend get the black version btw?
I got the brown version, and while I wanted the black version at first, the brown one looks sexier than I imagined. Too bad I use an otter box, so its black afterall^^

Can anybody with, if it's really true, a BLACK DHD be kind enough to post some pix please!!
yea, if anyone out here have access to the black and brown version and take a photo with them side by side, will be a very good comparision.
Just got a black DHD from Orange, compared to previous phones from them the branding is relatively unobtrusive. I've attatched a pic of the back panel that should give you some idea. Sorry about the quality but this was taken with a rubbish camera in poor lighting.

White or "blue"?

I ordered the white one of that helps
The blue is more like black.
Anyway, I prefer black simply because the screen has very hight contrast and deep black colour. I can't even tell the difference between black screen and the black bezel, which is great for watching videos or work with black background apps. I'd think the deep black screen and white bezel will not go well together as all black screen and bezel.
my 2 cents..
I think all of us are going to keep our Note in some kind of case, let it be a leather case or and hard protective case.
That being said we would hardly see the body of the Note anyways..
Just a thought
I had the same dilemma. I thought the White looks cool but was worried that it will look dirty easier with scratches and such.
I ended up with the Black due to Timing and Price. Plus...my wife told me she thinks White is for the ladies

The blue one is black, and the white one is for Ladies.
White one looks way better than the dark blue. Anyone saying its for the ladies is probably insecure about their masculinity.
On the blue one is it just the back thats blue? All the pics i see look like the front bezal is black.

The font of the phone and underneath the battery cover is black, it's just the battery cover is very very dark blue, basic black at first glance.
Will white phones discolor easily? I'm sure we've all seen white plastic things that have turned yellow.

Not unless you're touching it with curry on your hands or you're a smoker. None of my white electronics have ever discolored.

lol....It's my wife that said it, not me....I think it looks nice and elegant...
I got black or whatever blue one. Total sleekness. I hate the white one with all those sensor holes showing. Plain and simple look is the best for me in my own pinion. You will not regret buying the black one but may regret buying a white one.....

Though they will both look great with the brown leather flip case. Wish they'd hurry up and release it.
I got the dark blue leather flipcase and it looks amazing.. extremely classy and business-like...

Yep, it's nice. It comes for free with the Note here in HK.
However, the brown case to my mind looks so much nicer.

What options will you get with your Moto Style/Pure? How will you customize it?

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 wish moto did a velvet back texture... but then I realise that I'd just be buying a case to protect my prized possession anyway!
Probably get the violet/purple back plate, gold accent. Get my name or something written on the back too.

I know it's been advertised as an optional microSD card slot, but I understand that to mean you can add your own memory. The card slot is with the sim slot from what I've seen.

My intention is for the phone to be all black.
Also not sure if I will get Leather or the Silcon type of backing. I think I need to feel both before I buy, as I hate the feeling of silicon cases so wonderig if it will be same ... but surely it cant be because the Silicon cases feel tacky and cheap.

I will be getting Red leather, Black front, Silver black trim, not sure on the side/surround trip. Likely Black or Silver.

With a Black front panel you can only get the Dark Grey frame.
White front panel you have the option of Chamapange Gold or Silver.

If MKBHD has it, it must be a winner :good: .
Not my preference, but always props to MKB .
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.
I don'tthink there is 64gb

US will have the 16GB/32GB/64GB options and the UK will only have 32GB/64GB options.

Black front, grey frame, red accents, charcoal ash wood back and 16gb model.
Not too sure about all the options but looking at a black front, dark gray sides, dark wood on the back...I think it's Ash wood?? 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!

Charcoal Ash.
Yeah I was thinking this exact set up ... however not sure if I'd like the feel of the wood, this is my only issue at the minute that we cant see the options in person. Not sure where I would be able to in the UK once its released.

A Reddit post with all the color options for all parts of the device.
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! :/
