i have the brown one -,-
wish i knew about the black one before purchase
all i ever saw in shops was the brown one (even on the internet - i have seen a few shots of the black one but i thought it was with some cover or something) so i assumed they only come in brown color :F
white one looks like it shows dirt/sweat after 5sec

The black one is exclusive to Orange in the UK, not sure if its available in other countries or not.
The white looks nice but looks like it'll soon look dirty though

I got a silver one. Absolutely love it. Also because it's more rare. Few people have the Silver version.

Silver one just looks cheap, compared to brown one. The high contrast of the Amoled screen just comes out more prominent on the brown one. I was a bit worried when ordering, but i still think the brown one is the prettiest.

I wonder if anyone else notice this. The aluminum trim around the screen on my brown desire change colour depends on sunlight. Sometime it looks like brown, light blue, and dark grey.

Totally agree with all if this. IMHO, all other colours just don't cut it. I love my brownish Desire, wouldn't trade it for any other colour.

I originally went looking all over the place for the silver one, but eventually settled for the brown one as that one was easier to get my hands on a while back. Kind of happy with the decision, in pictures the brown one is horrible to look at, but if you hold it in your hand and/or hold a silver one next to it, the silver one looks like crap. Brown does work, just not in the pictures.
The white one also looks good in the pictures, but I wonder what it'll end up looking like once you actually hold it in your hands and work with it.

Official Epic 4G Touch White Press Shots

Thanks pocketnow for the picture

It's hideous IMO....my 15 & 13 year old daughters would love it.

I don't see why they don't release these phones in multiple colors from the get go. Maybe blue, green, red, white, and black. Or something along those lines.

Thanks for the update. My wife was waiting for this in order to switch her white evo. She will be glad to hear the good news.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

Is it just a white paint job or did they change some of the hardware? I actually don't mind different colors and white is the new black right? Anyways, I would rather have a white TPU case then this, but the wife's evo is due for an upgrade in a couple of months.

Looks pretty good, I still prefer black because of the low profile. Black hides dirt, white hides scratches

Right?! I seriously think they do it in hopes of people who already bought a black one will jus" t "fall in love" and outright just buy it.
It would be smarter and they would appeal to people who, for example, "need a white device" if they would release all colors on the same day. But, since theyre greedy and only care about money, people who were considering this phone but found out it was only in black bought another phone to their liking - does Samsung really think people will ditch their phone and jump on this one? Nope. Too late. They already used theyre upgrade, and if anything, now they dislike Samsung for doing this type of thing to them.
In other words, greed is the worst thing in this world.

I think it looks slick..i really like it. I'm wondering though, the battery cover looks glossy now...need some texture, IMO, otherwise it'll be too slippery lol.
And before anyone says it...yes, that is what she said.

Nice to finally see the Sprint pics for it. That January 8th date is looking more likely all the time per this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1373771&highlight=white
Hopefully a nice stable fully functional build of CM7 will be done around the time this hits retail shelves.

Actually white hides both better. when I had my E4GT in black and a case, I was constantly taking the phone out of the case to clean the edges where the phone meets the case. With my white skyrocket, I don't find myself doing that at all. I'm a real neat freak when it comes to phones, too.
Also, if the phone is anything like the skyrocket, you guys need to see the phone in person to appreciate the way it looks / color. I didnt like the white skyrocket, but when I had it in my hand and looked at it, it looked awesome.
I've had more then a couple people comment on how nice the phone is, and for someone to go out of their way and say that about a phone is pretty rare.
Just my .02.
EDIT: Also, I can't tell if this one has it, but my phone has a chrome rim which looks really nice. and the keys light up wayyyyy brighter then the black version and bleed through the white, which makes it look stellar at night. It;s also not white, it's a sort of pearl white. Again, you should probably look at it in person before you pass judgment.

I would have to see it in person. I gave my black Evo to the wifey when the white one came out but I doubt I do the same with the ET4G.

Only other color this phone would look good in is a Silver or metallic or better yet that charcoal Grey that's on BMW's

I would trade my black one in a heart beat! That's a slick looking phone!

Looks real clean. Is January 8th the confirmed date? I think I'll use my premiere upgrade close to the end of the month and if it releases on time I can trade it for the white

I don't think anything is confirmed but I find it funny that the promo shot has a date of 1/8 on the date/time/weather widget.

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.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium

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.

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.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA App

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.

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...

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.

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.

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

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.

Grey was 130€ cheaper when I bought it, so I went for grey.

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
