What'd you do polish it? I'm also thinking of doing something so the wife and I can tell them apart. Has anyone tried to remove the bezel? If it comes off they could possibly be anodized as a set
I used a black crayon rubbed it in and wiped off the extra with a microfiber cloth
Nice.

looks good. i was thinking of modding the batt cover as well. That metal is just asking for some laser etching.

Oh my god how could I have missed that part
even HTC could have done this like what Moto did to their Razr
now there is a new place for our creativity
looks good
i'd paint the phone black
LOL
i hate this grey, needs to be darker grey imho
Its looks really nice black...but I love the silver titanium..except the gray part..I'm thinking of getting the carbon fiber skin and cutting out all the titanium..

Yeah, I've been wanting to mod mine for a while. I'd love to make it some kind of color. Replacement battery doors are already on eBay, so I'm gonna guess that it won't be long before we see colors, etchings, patterns, etc. popping up all over the place.
Pocket-Lint had a picture during the Desire Z launch event that showed the device reflecting the blue lighting from the room. Sadly, it's the same silver back, just reflecting blue light...but damn, if that doesn't look good in blue!
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

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.

well, the truth is, the "brown" one would cost me £199 plus the renewal of my contract, the black came freebie....:
But, i need to cofess, i like black phones...
I know there was a thread about this before but I cant seem to find it. I also think there were no comparison pictures either
First of all I have two phones because the first one I bought had a fault with the glass.
The shiny one is from the faulty phone and the darker one is my new one.
Which one do you think looks better?
PS: If you see it in real life its not as noticeable as in the pictures.. but you can still easily see it. The darker one looks more purple/ black and the shiny one looks like more of a shaded mirror.
Also the shape at the bottom of the shiny one is from a back cover protector. I took it off but the muck/ dirt was still on there..

Oh yeah... these are both international versions bought from amazon UK.
Me and two friends have the pebble blue bought on the same day and they are different shades to them.
If you ask me samsung screwed by changing color.....i was happy about back as well when i heard sammy changed color to more serious one, bit now when i got it i realised that front looks so much cooler despite its purple color in light
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Just noticed the front is a different shade too.
It's not as noticeable as the back though.
I like the mirrored back.
So I kept the new back cover instead of the old one.
My phone looks black from a distance.
Great cover i like it
Do you expect a White LG Nexus 4 later?
I think it would look really cool.
I hope so, car phone had white versions.

Pretty sure I saw one in one of the videos today, but it was just the soft-touch surround that was white; back and front are probably still black.
Edit: how's this?

That's just a reflection off of the chrome bezel.
The chrome bezel is only a millimeter or two wide, there's clearly white below that.
HowEVER, it might just be a reflection from the lightbox they're shooting the photo in, but that doesn't really make sense as the soft-touch surround appears to be matte in other footage.
that is either white or a pretty good optical illusion from the materials or the light box...
if it is white...it might be google exclusive?

Google exclusive as to it's employee's? If so I probably wouldn't think they'd go through such a hassle of making the device different color in its entirety just for their staff. For the Nexus Prime it was just a back cover.
I would really like to see how a white version would look like. Currently I have a white Gnex, which is awesome. I'd like a black face and a white back, just like the Gnex. Would be great if Google would shed some light regarding this matter.
It will return as Nexus the Grey to counter Sauron Apple of Mordor

Still is technically a "back cover".... just the ring portion of it.
Any more word on a white one??
Do. Not. Want.
I actually cringed when I saw it. Kinda fugly but hey, to each his/her own.
