Xperia Arc - Silver or Black

Hi all,
Getting very interested by the Xperia Arc and having a hard time deciding which colour to get.
Just wanted to see what everyone else out there plans to get once its released...
I'm currently leaning towards the silver cos its a bit more unique.

Both actaually...my wife want black and i take the silver one. We both have now black x10s and our contract needs to be renewed before june 19, hopefully it is in holland than...

Silver more me. Black x10 right now.

I like the look of the black more; I would prefer white but I never really liked silver as the main color, only in highlights or accents.
Captivate 2.2.1 Paragon

Black ^^

I love white but there'r only black and silver...A lot of Android phones brand like HTC,Samsung,LG all in black so it'll become nothing special in black color...

silver.
Might not look as cool as the blue one, but will for sure need less polishing to get rid of visible fingerprints and the like.
And it fits nicely in my phone history as the last four were silver as well...

wow, silver is ahead now but only by one vote. it's actually getting very hard for me to decide which colour now....i'm really drawn in by the silver colour but the blue shading on the back is really tempting as well....bugger...

Will go with the black

Silver looks way better, but Im getting black though since I can hide it easier in my black bag during classes

You could get a silver bag and go with silver

I pre-ordered the Midnight Blue one ^^ But I'm slightly tempted to change it to Misty Silver, it does look great but a little non-mainstream...

Change to silver
It'll look like youre holding a Digi-Cam (They're usually silver if I recall correctly)

going for a black one xD just have to check if imma be living in the US or still in Mexico
either way I have to buy it unlocked and debranded

I am about to replace my E10i need better battery life and bigger screen.
One things is for sure it will be a silver colored one. Just don't know if I want an Arc, a Neo, the Pro, yet... Or if I gonna buy it this spring or wait till the summer.
Was quite clear for a while that the Arc was to big and I would be better of with a more pocket friendly phone and a 7"-10"screen tablet.
Maybe the Arc might can be a half way house, and getting me (at least a taste of) both worlds in one device.

I'm really tempted for silver version, seeing it looked great in previews, but the black version is a tried out color that works for just about anything, so I think I'll go with that.

Misty silver looks really nice...but I know Ill end up regretting it later. I usually like black the best. So, im gonna go with black just to be on the safe side.
Now, its just a waiting game of when I can pick one up here in Canada....eh! lol

White vs Black

What you guys think??? pros and cons on black vs white galaxy s 2

Its just a difference of color..but one thing I can think of is that white may show more obvious blemishes over time where as black is less noticeable.

One is darker than the other

The white has a glossy back. With that you can install ghost armor on it to protect it from getting blemishes.

the white version is gonna get dirty really easily..the back cover is rubberised plastic..all kinda crap will stick to that

There are no pros or cons. It is just a color and a personal preference. I doubt anybody here has both to tell you both sides so pick your favorite color.
There is enough hate in the world. Why can't we all get along here ...?

Someone traded me there black galaxy s2 and $200 for my white one last week. I guess the colors are a big deal to some people. I thought they were crazy but i'm not stupid. I took that deal.

Wow, that's a come up right there. They must of really want the white one. I want one too, but I wouldn't give more than $50 and only because mine is a month older.

That's incorrect. I'm holding my white handset right now and the back is smooth plastic. It isn't rubberized like, for example, the G2x.
The advantage is that stuff won't stick to it, the disadvantage is that it tends to feel slippery.
Some observations people might be interested in - it's a pearl white color with the silver accents (including the earpiece grill and camera lens) The backlight from the touch sensitive buttons tends to bleed which cheapens the look ever so slightly but then again, I have then turned off using the Screenfilter widget. Still though, it's a sharp looking handset and I've received positive comments from co-workers.

I have both and for some reason the white model has like a yellow tint to the screen. I hate it. My vote is black. Although I think the black one would look neat with the chrome bezel the white one has.

I really liked the white one and wanted to keep it but that was to good of a deal to pass up.

I had the Black one and now I have the White and the one thing I notice is that if you look at the top of the Black phone, on the bezzel, theres a sticker there that says Qualcomm 3G and on the White one it says Qualcomm 4G. Not sure exactly why they did that..
Other then that, the White one feels more responsive and smoother. Maybe they fixed all the bugs from the black ones.
The vibrent screen with the White back drop looks stunning.
The bezzel on the White one has a polished aluminum look which I personally think looks better then the Chrome. But thats just me... To much chrome can look bad sometimes.

I personally think white looks more feminine. But that is just me, and not that it is bad. Same goes with the white sunglasses that I have seen.

use it for 2more months and we'll see if it "turns" black

The only difference I can think of would be an effect on the camera, kinda like the problem the i-apple had

Black S3 is official...

Well overseas they're already taking pre-orders for the black S3...I got my white S3 about 27 days ago...is there ANY way to return the white S3 for the black S3 whenever it comes out in the USA, that doesn't involve buying it outright or adding a line to my account? Yes, its that serious...

Black looks nice but every phone out there is black. I must be one of the few people who like the blue.

i just ordered a blue.. it'll be here tomorrow

I'm rather ticked off about the news personally. Had I known Sammy was going to release a Black GSIII I would've waited rather the buying a Pebble 'Purple'

The black S3 to me is a huge deal...I have an obsession with black technology...my laptop is black, I bought the Beats headphones in black, I bought the GNex, I bought the Droid Razr in black, I'm getting the Nexus 7 Friday because its the ish and its black, I bought the black Xbox, my TV is black (who's isn't)...My phone holsters are all black...I just like having everything uniform...and I hate that my phone is off and there's a huge black rectangle in the middle of it...I prefer darker backgrounds and themes but they look stupid with the white phone...etc...I was pissed when I bought the Droid Razr and three months later the Razr Maxx came out...feeling the same kinda way with this white phone and only a few months later the black one is scheduled to release...its a personal preference of mine...I have no problems with my phone, I just prefer the black and with the glossy finish it's gonna look great imo

man i would like a black one also! i got white bc i cldnt wait on the red, but damn just put all the colors out at the same time so folks dont have regrets :good:

Black is always nice. Screams sexy. All colors except the blue are nice. The red is a nice shade. Its like classy escort red, and not ***** red. The white is pure white and not some almost white color. And then there is the blue... its okay blue, almost looks grey though. My ex has the one x in grey and I always complained about how ugly grey is on phone. But that's just me. Lol. On a side note I love how the touch buttons fade away and are not visible like on all the other android phones. Nice touch Samsung.
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S3 that I said I would never buy because it was ugly.

Could always swap housings.

is it even possible to switch the front?

looks like you would have to buy a whole new digitizer + screen + whatever else is attached to the front in black to change it.

I have the blue and I don't see how it ever looks grey. What angle are you looking at it to see grey? Only colours I see are blue head on, black or purpleish on the right angle.
EDIT: Okay, the back at certain angles can take on a grey tone but I always have my case covering the back (which is also blue) so I never notice that. I don't really like the backplate colour and wish it was the same as the front.

I, for one, am plenty happy with the blue. But that metallic black does look rather sexy if I do say so myself...

I'm sitting here needing a new digitizer/screen.... Probably just going to snag a black one since I have to wait until I have the 300 dollars for a new one anyways. I'll post results when this happens, should look interesting.

Mine's silver thank you very much.

I also read somewhere (when researching a trim replacement after dropping and chipping the trim on my s3) that its not worth getting into bc the screen is glued to the front trim

Help me choose color for one x!

Hi guys! Going to buy my htc one x tomorrow, what color do you suggest? White or dark gray? I'm a male btw.
Do you still recommend hox over gs3? I reaally like the screen of hox! I know it lags but I'm sure custom roms with jellybean fix them all. Am I right? Help please..

one x better for me in deffernt ways, build quality, performance, display and HTC SENSE.

Get the White one with the official HTC case. It looks better than the dark Grey & the case will protect it from getting dirty, while keeping its great looks.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app

I got the white cause it was the cheapest. Did you know there is a black one as well? That's what I wanted but it was €100 more expensive.
I Just got a black silicon case for €5, it looks good and gives it better grip cause it can be a bit slippy

Hey,
I wanted buy a white version but it was out of stock and I wanted to get HOX as fast as possible so I chose grey. A few weeks ago I had a chance to check white one and I can say that I was lucky by taking grey device.
I do not like white version cause it looks so plastic and it also reminds me a bit white iPhone. Grey version is really neutral and if you do not wanna be extravagant or something like this, go for grey.

White looks way better to me. Doesnt look cheap at all. It doesnt get dirty very easy, even if it does its very easy to clean. I saw many people who bought grey hox later changed the case to white because it really does look better. Althouth it's a personal choice.
If you come from an older phone you won't notice lag. Like I used desire for sometime and then moved to hox.
Sgs3 is a good phone. But sense is way ahead of touchwiz even if it may be slower a bit, but jellybean should change that. Get hox, you won't regret

Wow! I'm really glad you guys helped me out! Going for white but with the case! I'm excited!

Yeah white is the best one mate definately, people saying it gets dirty are wrong, mine is still gleaming and looks amazing. Too many black phones I like to be different so I also got white.
3 - I always choose white phones
4 - If it does get dirty (which it doesnt) I know lots of people from XDA who simply get some Cif, dab it on a bit of cloth, rub it and voila clean !

I went for the grey one at first, but ended up having the phone replaced because it was faulty. So when they ordered me a new one I asked for the white one instad of the grey. The white one is so much nicer. If you go for the grey - you'll wish you had the white lol. But that's my opinion.
Cheers

I never tried cif, but I wouldn't go using it on a €400 - €500 mobile. It is an abrasive cleaner and might leave an uneven finish.
I would first use soapy water, and if that fails, 70% alcohol.

Mine is white and after 8 month still clean. Also I have almost zero scratches, tough I used it Hardcore

My HOX used to be grey but I had to replace the back and sim tray because the white back+simtray was much cheaper than the grey version I got the white one and since then quite a few people commented on my phone on how beautiful is looked and if I got a new one. I initially chose grey because I was concerned the white bezel would distract from the screen but I can reassure you it doesn't.

Right
Grey was 130€ cheaper when I bought it, so I went for grey.
Always thought about chasing the housing
Now that I cracked the grey housing while opening it the 3rd time to fix Wi-Fi I guess I'll order a white housing + SIM Tray for it

Hi... I recommend the black one + with 64GB / 2100mAh battery / Tegra 3 1.7Ghz (after owning a grey HOX 6 months)
I don't know were you live, and if is avaliable in your country allready... if you can't buy it now, of if you just want the one x instead one x+, so I recommend grey... but i also ear that white is more flawless.
And yes if you want a MALE smartphone don't even compare with sammy's3
Jellybean in my One X+ works just fine, and i'm sure it will work great in One X too

I've been using white for 6 months now with no case and there is no dirt on it...
In the other hand people are complaining about fingerprints on the back of grey variant.
P.s.- This phone is not a samsung and it's too beautiful to use a case

[Q] [Urgent Suggestion Req.] One X White or Black

Hi everyone,
I am getting good deals on both a white and black [not the grayish one] one X, need to decide today which one to buy. I have seen that the white version is more common, also in reviews it kind of stands out as well. I want to ask your opinion on which one is better ie,
-more elegant looks wise, when held in hand etc
-gets dirty more easily, more easy to clean, would proove to be more resistant to scratches [atleast appearance wise] overall
Help me out here!

Someone just made me realize that there is not "black" version of the one x, just the grayish one. So its the grayish one that you prefer over white then? The problem is that i haven't held both of them side by side, so it keeps crossing my mind that the white one probably looks better! lol

I had the white and hated it. Looked crap imo. Got the grey and love it. Looks smart. Best bet is look in the shops to compare. I found the white showed grime more
It's all personal preference though dude look at them in real life not just pics.
Lol I say grey
