I received a replacement unit today from the June batch.
I opened it up and realized that it looks a bit different. Maybe I'm just imagining it?
1. The backplate with the texture on it looks light brown, almost matches the brown rim/bezel. I could have sworn it was a darker almost gray color on the previous unit.
2. The Asus logo on the back was a chrome finish, now it has faint diagonal lines cut into it giving it a different look.
Someone please look at their unit and tell me if I'm just imagining this?
A picture would help.
+1 for some pics please and anything else that may have changed.
Mine sounds exactly like what you're explaining; it even has the same very faint lines on the ASUS logo cut in it diagonally. BTW my tablet is only 2½ week old.
Please check if you have any bleed on the screen

Hi,
Please check the light bleeding issue and take pictures if it's possible .
mine has the same diagonal lines on the asus logo, mine is also about 2 weeks old, got it from best buy, unfortunately i have some noticeable light bleed. I'm a premier silver member so im going to wait 40 days before exchanging it for another one. I love my tablet but I hope the next one has better quality control.

Don't have my early-stock 16GB in front of me to check, but my 32GB is only a few days old, and has the faint diagonal lines on the logo. I am unsure if my 16GB has the same, but I'd be *extremely* surprised if Asus has changed this, as it'd cost a lot of money to change molds for a barely-noticeable change. I'm fairly certain the plastic on my 16GB is brown, the same as my 32GB though.
And both units have an almost identical, minimal level of light bleed.
The biggest difference between the two (beyond memory) is that the newer unit shipped with the power supply faceplate already attached. (No, it's not second hand, both units were factory sealed.)
Apparently Asus realized they were costing themselves returns and/or tech support calls from folks who couldn't believe how hard you had to push to attach the faceplate, and thought their chargers were faulty. Hence they seem to have decided to pre-attach the faceplates to save on support / return costs. At least, that's my guess, but I'd put money on it.
There doesn't seem to be any information about what the release date for the White version is? There is only the review video on Slashgear, and the announcement from Samsung that the white version will launch alongside the black version. To my knowledge, no white Note's have shipped yet.
I just pre-ordered the White version from handtec.co.uk for 449GBP+15GBP Shipping, but they have no expected date.
If there is any updates on the White version, please post them here.
got the white one on clove.co.uk ( not sure if its in stock but the site already let ppl purchase )
www.clove.co.uk/samsung-galaxy-note-white
ps its more expensive than other sites tho
According to the below link (first paragraph), the white version should be launching in the UK the same day as the black one. I want the white one, so going to just wait. Handtec has it, but it says pre-order with no date listed.

http://www.handtec.co.uk/product.php?xProd=5864
I just heard back from Clove and Handtec on the white galaxy note, seems that Samsung hasn't given them any release date, so, looks like it might be awhile
why don't buy a dark blue one with some white paint? The white one is mostly for girls.
The info I got from Clove was early December for the white version. Take that with a grain of salt...
i got the black one as i cannot wait for the white one
i have asked samsung UK about the white one " no date for releasing the white one yet , it might take a while "
I also contacted handtec about the white one and they have no date.
I just contacted Handtec to change my preorder of the White version to the black one...cant wait for the white one
White one available now....... Ebay.. Ermmmmm $3,000/£1,880.88 anybody?
Oh come on. It's a snip..... Free delivery and they're not charging Sales Tax/VAT

Just bought a White Galaxy Note off Ebay. Shows in stock so I should have it next week.
Yesterday I saw several shops in Sincere Podium in Mong Kok - Hong Kong selling the white Samsung Galaxy Note, the price is the same as the blue one (~750USD)

And why is White only for the girls? White is as much of a eliteist color as black, more some in most cases.
I want the white because I work in the medical field, so I think that's pretty self explanatory. A big Black Tablet would look stupid in my lab jacket.

White Galaxy Note looks far better than the boring dark blue that most people have IMO. Same goes for the Galaxy SII, the white one just looks so much better. Black is ho hum, every generic piece of electronics is black.

Totally a matter of taste and preference. As a girl, I didn't even give the white a second look mainly because I gag seeing all the white iPhones and GSII's on Hong Kong's street already. I've also seen a lot of white gadgets turning yellow over a period of use.
The black is good and business-like. I think people would just take me less seriously in business meetings when I pull out a white gadget.
For those interested in a white, CityLink in North Point, HK has them available and I've reserved one already for anybody interested!

Lately I like items in white or red. Got a white mazda 3 I just purchased, this galaxy note and a red alienware notebook. I agree its personal taste and subjective but I like having different colors. Over here most electronics are all black and you rarely see a different color.
Just came from Kwun Tong Shopping Plaza, there's a Citylink branch over there and showing the white Galaxy Note

Hello,
I am trying to find out what is the difference between GT-P7510-UW32ARB and GT-P7510-MA32ARB.
So far what I found is that MA might be Metallic Gray and UW - Pure White.
Tablets GT-P7510-UW32ARB GT-P7510 Galaxy Tab;32GB; Pure White
Tablets GT-P7510-MA32ARB GT-P7510 Galaxy Tab;32GB; Metallic Gray
Any other toughts ?
Thanks!
No - I think that is the only difference. If you search for new ones on Samsung US - you can see that all white ones have a first two letters after the model of UW - and gray ones have MA.
Note that the ARB in the model appears to indicate Refurbished - just in case it is not being advertised to you as such.
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.
Silver gold

Wish the accents on the gold edition was black.

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
So today before I put my newest skin on my frost white 6p which I'll post a pic of I got to looking at the Frost white being white with the all black camera visor and it hit me. The phone color reminds me of a Star Wars Storm Trooper!!! Go look at that model and see if it doesn't reminds you of the same thing. It's pretty cool. So the Frost white will from now own with me be referred to as the Storm trooper.
