Phone colour - Desire General

I got my Desire from Handtec and the colour is supposed to be graphite.
However, the area around the screen is almost purple in colour, especially in sunlight.
Is this normal??

Sounds like you've got what others call 'Urban Brown' - all the colours seem to be the same tbh!! lol
Does you box actually say 'Graphite'? Mine, unlocked from CPW, just has 'HTC Desire A8181' on the box...

Mine also says A8181.
Is your device particularly pinky/purply?

Bit browny/purply/silvery - depends on the light really, like this:

Yes, mine is the same as the above!
Good news.... but this isn't really graphite is it... HTC seem to love their pink all of a sudden (AMOLED, screen bevel...)

Same here guys. Bought the so called 'graphite' one off clove.co.uk but compared to a picture of a graphite one mine really does look brown. Loving the phone so not a problem and won't return it but it's false advertising!

I'm waiting for a silicone case for mine. it'll cover it then. It's not really a problem to me but I wouldn't have used the word graphite to describe the colour...

How does the earpiece affect the audio? If at all. Otherwise, looks really cool!

The eBay description says this,
The ear piece location does not reduce the sound quality of calls at all. You can hear just as clear with or without it on. I have had mine on since day one with zero problems.

But then I won't be able to see my LED notification light right? Nice idea tho....
I will definitely buy one, once i get some money that is!
you can see all the LEDs except green . Atleast that is what the case is with my red one. havent tested on white or yellow. green LED is just too light to go through.
Just bought a red one cant wait for this to come in the mail!!
i want a green one
are these still being made? any comments?

here is an update I moved the phone down to match his other eye. What do you guys think should I change the X, keep the eye or remove etc.
Looks good. Maybe try some different fonts with the X, but the eye looks cool.
I think the eye with the black background looks nicer IMO. Great work btw!
I may lower the phone a little bit more to to better match his other eye. Any more suggestion would be great

I've got a smoke filter that would look killer coming off the "Why so serious?" behind the Rev.
I'd like to see the eye that you see on the Dinc2 reboot screen instead of the verizon promo. but definitely keep the recovery bootloader on the screen.
I like the last one best.

very impressive. awesome work!
how's the X now? I moved the phone down to match his other eye and removed Verizon logo for htc

I just ordered one the other day, so I'm still waiting for it in the mail.
I thought the metal cases messed with the GPS signal?
Thanks guys.
But I think color I shared above is out of stock. Its not black , dark blue or something.
I hope it can be in stock soon.

3. It will scratch ur GN.

Absolutely! I had a hard time getting a GPS lock, and weakened cellular reception also. Don't buy this unless you have a very strong cell signal and don't use the gps.
Thanks for info

Casemate Barely There different version

Guys,
Me and my GF both bought an S2 (at an incredible price :highfive and we went to a mall to buy a cheap cover. My GF found a purple one at TheSource (RadioShack in Canada) and I found a black one at BestBuy. Both are Casemate Barely There. Notice the difference?

With the black one the camera is less protected, but the biggest problem was to access the power button, because the plastic is a little bit thicker on the black one, it was difficult to press power. I did a refund at BB and went to TheSource to buy the last one they had for the S2, yeah it's purple but kind of dark purple so it's okay
in case someone is interested

This may be out of topic, but have you tried iLuv cases? They're pretty good too. Pretty much like casemate's barely there cases, but with style :thumbup: your gf may like it

The black one was probably the first version. I bought the silver one that is similar to the black one, just at the launch of S2.
Yeah, it doesn't protect the camera well which is why I ended up ditching it.
thanks
I bought the black one before. It ended up cracking and chipping in multiple places for reasons I dont know.
I bought this Case Neo Hybrid Samsung Galaxy S2 and its very good especially againsts the drops

Interesting. I kinda want to see how the sides really look. Are they really transparent, or it just radio transparent? Interpretation! lol

Yes that is confusing, on first reading I thought they meant that the sides were specially designed to not impede the antenna...but there is a section which also says 'translucent sides for added style' yet the renders seem to have solid sides. Every 'feather' I have ever used has been a simple and effective snap on hard case made of a material that I was comfortable wouldn't scratch...but nothing was see through....guess we have to wait for more info.
It looks like they will be too slippery...

Thanks. I normally like the feather cases but the brushed aluminium part of it doesn't appeal, I would rather have a straight up feather in various colours, I might try the ngp though at some point.
