Black and white housing for Sprint evo?any reason why - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there a reason why they came out with a white housing and battery cover for evo? I have black but I like white.... I ordered a white housing and battery cover .... I want to mix black and white..lol
Thought it may be a difference some how or is it just for vanity )

do you have the white epic 4g touch?

Or the black. Let's do a poll. I just had to get a replacement and the rep hooked me up with a white, he says it us very popular and is sold fast. So i'm wondering how rare it is. It is a beauty ill tell ya.
Please complete the poll i'm just curious thanks.
Black...I had a choice, but I guess I'm weird. Everyone seems to like the white one better.

I purchased the white one when it was $99 on amazon... and now they're selling it for 1 penny! LOL Either way, I'm still selling my soul to sprint for these monthly bills and piss poor data speeds in socal... Sometimes I regret not waiting for the galaxy note on ATT, but then I look at how sexy my phone is and the EPIC development brought by T.C.P., calkulin, mijjah, and darchstar and everyone else!
I'm still looking for a nice case that compliments the color of the white epic touch. I currently have the CIMO S-line transparent TPU case bought off of amazon, thinking it would show off the white. I love the grip on this and how it adds much needed bulk, but I'm not feeling the "clear" of the case.
I had both,now i got white and it looks better because it makes screen look larger and i like the way android buttons are lit-its extra vibrant unlike black one.
If you wanna impress the hoes then get white one.

I have a white one. From what I've seen, most people have blacks since the white came out more recently

I got the black one. The white looks pretty nice, but I personally prefer black.
I prefer black phones myself. As far as the ladies go, my phones only get me in trouble with them because they assume I am talking to someone else....especially when I am on XDA

they're calling that 'Stormtrooper' look...
Started with black, gave it to the wife the day they released the white one. I love it because people only really know of white iPhones and when they see this they are like "wtf, where did you get something cooler than the iPhone?!" And I am like "there are lots of cooler phones than the iPhone, idiot." Then I proceed to blow their MINDS with Android awesomeness!

Anyone sand down the cheap chrome bezel?

I bought my phone used with some chipping, some scratches and even a mini dent on the chrome bezel, I've searched and seen this done on the uk version but I'm more interested in the T-Mobile American version as the bezel is attached to the frame that the LCD is glued to. I can get a replacement bezel with the mid frame and battery cover for $28 but I don't want to risk breaking the LCD when removing it from the glue.

There was somebody (i believe in the themes and apps section) who did and said it made the phone look more sleek. I've been considering doing it with a fine grit paper. As long as you take your time, you should be fine.

It might be in the accessories section too. Pretty sure i saw it. It's just blacked underneath...

Someone did in the accessories section..he posted pics of it sanded down and it was just a black plastic finish underneath. I'm contemplating on doing the same and then painting it. Tried looking for it but I cant find it..its probably about 2 months ago. Replied in someone else's thread so not an easy find
Wait did you really think it was made out of chrome lol

yeah like the others have said. some guy posted it in the accessories section.. its not its own thread.. he just randomly posted it with several pictures... its just black plastic if you ever decided to sand it down. It actually looks pretty slick if your phone is black... like a matted black look. I think it'll look retarded if it was done on the white one..
Never thought about sanding the whole thing down and panting it another color.. fancy idea.
Yeah I'd just like to see it.

Samsung Evo S2 4G???

This is my first thread.....so i figured i would see what you guys think about a personal project I took on...
A few weeks ago I saw the "Panda Phone", thought it was a cool ass idea....but I didnt like the drab black on white color scheme.
So a question was asked...."What would the Epic4gTouch look like if it was made by HTC????"....
And here you have it...... THE SAMSUNG EVO S2 4G
just needed an extra case and digitizer...some krylon red pepper spray paint specifically made to bond to plastic.....and a day of boredom....
Maybe this is in the wrong place. but hell....how much more General does phone modding have to be??
What do you guys think??
I personally think samsung should try out this colorway....
Looks like the camera won't work properly... cool color theme nonetheless.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk 2
camera works just fine. i taped off the lens, flash, and all copper connectors inside and out before painting
Looks nice
Would have been cool to see the back with everything all together

I'm thinking I might do something similar, except instead of red I want to do a metallic green. But I'm not sure, I like the clean sleek design the S2 already has.

[Poll] White or Titanium?

What did you get?
Got a white one because #1, it's the only one they had on display and didn't have titanium. #2, I've had grey/black phones before in the past so white is something new.
What about a little titanium white?

Titanium since I noticed, to me, that white attracts more attention. The size alone will attract attention. A white one, IMO, will attract A LOT more attention....
That's just me though.

After years of black phones I went white crazy with the EVO LTE, GS3 and now Note 2. Now that I got white out my system my next phone will be anything but white.
BTW...I also think white phones just look better in black cases, giving them a nice two tone look.

Got titanium. Wanted to try white but I was worried it would look yellowed after a while. I saw a YouTube video of a guy with a white gs3, comparing it with another phone and the white looked like it had a slightly yellowish tint to it.

What fools. How in the hell will white oxidize? Maybe in 10 years.
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium
I settle for white again. As the Titanium is the same finish as the metallic blue of an S3. I feel it makes it look cheap.
I have had the white S3 since launch day and it's whiter than my room mate.
It's glass and the back covers are cheap if it does ever change color. I don't mind paying the $8 for a new battery cover or a aftermarket one. It's been what like 5-6 months now and my battery cover is like new.
An extra $8 every 6 months for a white battery cover is nothing. I'll probably have this phone for 6 months to a year and a half.
The bezel is silver, so you really have to do some damage to ruin the "white".
Thanks for the input guys.

Considering my phone never leaves its case, I forget that I got a grey one. Or is it white? I thought having multiple colors from which to choose would be great, but in reality I barely see any of the phone's color.
What WILL irritate me to no end is if they suddenly start pumping out 32/64g models.
