Trinity - black or white?

A seemingly trivial question I know, but which is best the black or the white - in regards to fingerprints, showing the dirt, general wear and tear etc.? - your opinions please
Thanks.

white all the life!
In my case the sensation is like an APPLE device!
by the way the black one has some problem about the paint of the case. it seems that in a few weeks it goes away!
...that's what i'e heard on some forums!
bye

Thanks gerazzo, I've heard that too about the black ones - but I've got the dilemma that I prefer the black ones to the white ones, but the white ones do seem to be a bit more practical!

I had the black one first and after 12 hours of use it started to peel. So, now i have the white one which doesnt show any sign of peeling - BUT it is white, which i dont really like.
If you can live with the white color then go with the white one and you wont (probably) have the headache of paint problems.
Either way, most importantly the P3600 is a great device and you will enjoy the functionality regardless of the color of the casing.

Had three (3) Trinities now: Go for white. There is no peeling at all and fingerprints are nearly invisible. Only drawback: Others might think you have an Apple device

White! Just design a cool home screen.
I handled both for 5 minutes. A Black Trinity is like a black car, it looks great IF its clean but looks terrible when its dirty. After 5 minutes the finger prints bugged me.
Could just be my OCD self!

Well thanks guys, it sounds like I should go for the white one then - although I can't stand them in white! Why is nothing straight forward? Ho Hum.

Hey Guys,
the white is better, but where do you get your white one. In Germany you get only black ones. Do you have tips???
Thanks!
Oliver

Hi Oliver, well most of our white ones come with our operator Orange over here - but here are a few links to the white ones:

Thanks TJW.
Great Adresses with white Trinitys. You can be happy in UK, you get the whites.
You get the white in UK, FR, Switzerland and so on. Only Germany, only black. Thats funny
No I think to buy one in UK, better pay more and have more risk instead get a black one with peeling.....
Oh a funny story beside: I ask an shop in Switzerland about the white one. The have but they said "No delivery to germany, come to Zurich and take one there" What????
With best white greetings
The black and white guy Oliver
PS: HTC, If you read my message please say me the price for a white one and I will sent you the money....

Hey guys...this is the cheapest place I've found for the white one in the UK:

brown or black??

quick poll for all g1 kids
did you order brown or black??
i only had the option of brown when i ordered, but seeing the black ones, im glad i got brown. it matches my lighter perfectly LOL

black all the way! white will get dirty all the time and you will have to clean it all the time... and the brown one looks like poop. LOL!

thats where ur wrong my friend brown is teh hawtness!!i love that the keypad is silver

I really wanted black but I ordered brown since it was the only one available to me. I got it yesterday and I'm glad I got brown. Its sexy looking.

I ordered the black one. Can't wait til it comes!

Is it that same coppery-brownish color of the T-Mobile Shadow? I had one of those, that was a nice color...

g1 is a g1
im on an employee acct and in order to receive one early brown was the only color available, however it doesnt look to bad its a dark brown cant really tell until you get up close

bronze(brown) definitely has an appealing color and now i'm wondering if i should have ordered black.....I want a side by side comparison of all 3 colors

I have a black toothbrush, does that give it away? lol

Haha black all the way... looks much cleaner...

Yeah it does and hides the blemishes on phone better

If I have the option, I only get two kinds of devices: Black or Silver.
Bronze/brown doesn't sound good to me, and white always looks like it was made by Fisher-Price. I choose black because:
-It doesn't show dirt as easily
-It goes with everything, black never goes out of style, while other colors do.
-It doesn't draw attention to itself
-It's easy on the eyes
-Black doesn't fade or start to yellow over time

I was an employee upgrade so I only had brown to choose from..I wanted black but the brown actually looks great. Mine comes this thursday and I cant wait!

Hate brown, went for black!

Black, brown is hard to see the.keypad!!

LOL! talk about a bump.. way to resurrect a thread that's over a year old!! gj
I totally agree tho. originally got brown on release date last year... within 14 days it was put into paper weight mode lol. returned it for the black one and have been happier ever since..

What's a bum?

bump* it's when you bring a thread that's fallen down a page or two back to the first page by posting in it, "bump" it back to the top

[Q] Black DHD

Has anyone actually SEEN the elusive Black DHD?
I have my DHD on order, just got at notice that it is in the mail tomorrow and that it is the BLACK DHD. I am curious to see it.
If anyone is interested, I will of course post pics when it arrives, hopefully tomorrow evening.

I do not get your question. The only color I can order is black.

It only comes in the one colour which is a very dark brown which in some images appears as black depending on the lighting.

I hear that there is a 'dark brown' version AND a solid black version - as there is of the Desire itself I believe

So I got my DHD, and I am honestly not sure what color to call it.
To me, it looks more charcoal than either black or brown.

Call it gunmetal
Btw, forget all ideas about one black phone and that other one, there is ONLY ONE and it's dark brow/greynish color and black, looks very nice. Many people think there is a total black version but there isnt, its just different mixes when taking photos of ot, lot of it photoshop fixed i guess, so just forget about a total black version in the near future. I think this is pretty black.. gunmetal kinda look, it looks much better then it would in black only.

I'm not sure HTC know their colours very well. My desire was "dark brown" but was actually a shade of purpley gunmetal and my Desire HD was also advertised as "dark brown" but has the same purpley gunmetal at the back.
If there's one thing HTC does well, it's confuse forums all over the internet as to what colours their phones come in.

I've only seen it marketed as "Mocha" or "Black"
I've got the black one.
It's about the same black as the back cover of the HD2.

Could you take a photo of it next to a brown one for comparison please? Go into any shop selling the Desire HD - all the ones in the shops are the same colour as mine, which is a brown/charcoal/black.

And no photo editing please
Edit, rezize and crop is accepted

You'll get people stretching pairs of tights over their camera lens or similar things instead!
I think everyone has now come to accept there is only one colour, whether it's advertised as black, mocha, graphite or brown.

Printed Label On Box
Guys
Does it tell you the colour on the printed label stuck to the box?
I pre-ordered mine from Play.com and when it came it honestly had no hint of brown whatsoever. If not black, it was a charcoal colour. Anyway, I had to send it back because it was faulty (kept rebooting when in standby for only a few secs) and I'm now seeing a lot of stores advertising it as brown/mocha. Unfortunately I no longer have the box so I can't check this, but with my HTC Hero the sticker on the box which has the barcodes printed on it states "HTC Hero White" so I'm wondering if any of your boxes have the colour printed on the label, something like "HTC Desire HD Mocha" etc.
If your box does have the colour printed on the label, please state it here and say what colour you would call the phone. Should help clear up whether there is only the one colour.
Cheers.

P.S. GSM Arena also state that the phone is available in two colours, black and brown.

im pretty sure its still 1 colour, i think it depends on the lighting more than anything however the one i used in vodafone looked black to me but it was a very dark show room so could just be lighting meh, brown or black the colour is close and the device inside it is still the same so does it matter ?
its not like the hero that came in black, white, pink ect.... black and brown are so close it barely matters in this case imo

Where are my Black on Black MT4G users?

We see a couple threads on who has which colors, but see none about the Black one. Not a bashing thread to say black is better than the other colors (we're a big MT4G family). Just who has black and why picked over the other colors? In my own opinion black just looks sleek and official. I love the other colors they look nice but I just look at them as playful/kid colors (agian.. my opinion only). MT4G isn't really concidered as a business phone as much as a Blackberry would be, but it gives it that business type feel and look... Your turn...

I have the black one, im constantly in meetings with new clients so dont like have bright phones :/
lol i wrote that before i read the last part of your post... looks like we agree on the business look of it ..

I have a black one. The red one looked nice too but I like more understatements.... Plum and White looked too tacky for me

I picked the black. When I checked out the other color demo phones I noticed that the hard rubber is painted, not fully stained and black underneath the color layer. Some of the red and plum models had scratches that showed the black coming through. I figured with a black to start with scratches won't show as much.
I guess I could have bought a case to make sure I never get any scratches but what would have been the point of getting a colored one if it's covered by a case anyway, right?

Great. Now I'm re-thinking my decision to go with white again. Curse you. Curse you all!

Have you ever thought that clients might look favorably on a white/metal/black one? Perhaps they may even be more apt to *remember* you. They may even consider you an out-of-the-box kind of guy, perhaps even ever so slightly fashion forward *shudder*.
Is it really the case that everyone in the business community carry around black phones (even in LA)? I see this raised now and then and I just kind of cringe.

Isn't that what ties are for??

I think that the Black on Black color was the best because it looked the most uniform.

I picked the black because I think it looks a bit sleeker. Would have loved to seen a silver/yellow color combo. Not to change the subject but what class sdcard did your blacks come with. Mine is class 2.

Hate white, plus hated the tri-color scheme on the white. Loved the red and the plum equally. Was going to go for the plum, but hubby surprised me and ordered the black.
Now that I look at it and played with it for 2 days, I really like the black. I think it looks classier.

I don't know. The first thing what I did when getting the phone was switching the SD card from 8 to 16 GB class 6.

Black phone to go with the black battery cover. Makes no sense that they wouldn't color match with the others, you get the black back no matter what. Still, aside from the Nexus, every phone I've had in the past 5 years have been black.
And mine came with a class 4 card.

I got the black one cause that's all the store I went to had lol. Seriously though I thought about the red one but I some times put a case on it so what would be the point of a colored phone plus the whole scratches thing that someone mentioned earlier. And the white looked kinda cheap and plasticy just my opinion though.

Yup, i wanted white cause i thought it would be pimp like the white EVO but when i noticed it was half white, half black, and the battery cover was silver, i couldnt stand the thought of owning it.
I just ordered my black one because it was 50/50 white/black for me.

Black on black was the most classiest one. If they had an all white MT4G...

I wanted black/red. But went with white because of the case they ad available for it. The Flex Protect one, with the grey gel insert, and the white protective hard case. I thought the piano finish on the white was nice. And, after going back and looking at them again, only the black woul dmake me change my mind now.
If only they had a flex case in black...

I got the black one because it was the only one that was available at Costco. It's cool though, the Black MT4G looks pretty classy.

I bought the black one because I purchased the white mytouch3g because it was the only color at the time and always wanted the black one.
Very happy! It looks professional and I wouldn't go with any other color.

I got the black because it matches the theme of my truck lol

Thoughts about the Solar Red

Since some of us are getting our Solar Red phones in I was wondering what you guys thought of the color. Personally I like it, but it is more Watermelon red instead of blood red looking at it straight on. Is anyone else seeing it?

Ha Ha Ha

Got my Solar Red unit today and I am very pleased, if not as ecstatic as I had hoped. From videos and photos online, I assumed it would be that darker red/orange color most of the time too. However, the "default" color in typical lighting is more of a salmon/watermelon/wine color, though it definitely does go deep red/orange in certain lighting and angles. I would probably be happy with either the sapphire blue or solar red, but I'm glad I waited for the latter.

Yeah mine is the same way. I did notice that the phone is darker red outdoors, so its likely just a lighting thing. I am still happy with it, I just didn't know if I got a dud or not since it was so different in person.

You guys had me worried for a moment, mine arrived today and I love the colour, it's as good as expected for me, look forward to seeing it in various different lighting conditions.

Mine is a little less red than I was expecting too, but I'm not complaining.

I like that mine is a little less red then I was expecting. It's more refreshing then the pure red I thought it might be.

I think it looks pink or salmon most of the time. It turns a cool yellow/gold at many different angles but in normal office light, it looks pink/salmon. I was disappointed that it wasn't really red.

Love my red U11. It's also a lighter red than I was expecting, but it still looks fantastic!

The color is less red then advertised but still beautiful. Of course the color is different because it's glass and not plastic or metal like we've used too.
It definitely looks better than my wife's Amazing Silver which is light blue :silly:

To me is more like an Orange Red, than Strawberry Red, or Bloody Red.
Still like it a lot.
If only I could find a case to show it off, with good protection.
All the transparent cases I've seen so far are not safe enough to protect this phone.

I like the Spigen Liquid Crystal case. I posted some pictures of my solar red U11 in it here. They're the last 4 pictures to compare with the SEIDIO version that does NOT protect the screen.

I really love my Solar Red and I, too, have the Spigen Liquid Crystal case, which I actually quite like (after migrating from HTC's leather protective case).

I dig the hell out of my Solar Red. It does look salmon colored but only in these TPU cases which dull the hell out of the shiny. I think without the case it really does look like Stark's armor in Iron Man I. So .. I named it Jarvis. I'm probably going to do an ultra clear skin. I don't drop phones and haven't broken a screen ever but I don't want that shiny back scratched. I dig this phone a lot and I can't really find fault with it. The wife is thinking about getting the blue model since she's more into that color.

Love the solar red. Love the colour red. Here’s my comparison with my solar red, iPhone 7 Plus Product Red and a red sofa
https://gavinsgadgets.com/2017/08/1...d-vs-iphone-7-plus-product-red-vs-a-red-sofa/

Same as everyone else. Not really red. More pink/gold. Not really that good looking. Not impressed.
The back protector that came with the phone is also pretty horrible and distorts the little colour there is. (Also scratches very easily).
