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.

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

Yeah that would be nice.
If it came in the Blackberry Curve red color I would be on it.

I had that phone too. That was a nice color. White just isn't the color for me when it comes to electrnic devices

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.
Hey all. Just wanted to know if anyone knows if there is an incepio feather case in white? I have the white e4gt and would like the matching case. My brother has the black one for his black e4gt and i thought it was great when i tried it on mine, just the color didn't go with it (not a fan of mix and match with inverted colors). If anyone knows of one, let me know thanks.
you should try the grey one. it looks pretty good imo.

Yeah thats what I would've gone for. But I think its a bit too dark to compliment my phone. A pure white case may have been too much, but a very light grey would have done it for me. The incipio one is a bit too dark for my taste.

I'd suggest getting the light grey feather then do minor sanding then paint/seal it.

Unfortunately I'm not so great with my hands. I think an attempt to do that would result in complete failure
I'll ask around and see if someone can do it for me. Thanks for the suggestions guys.
So white back cover silver bezel, screen protector and white vinyl all topped with vanila ics, love it.

Looks good. Kinda got my hopes up by saying vanilla ics though, I was expecting the white notification bar with ics icons and such.

It really isn't to hard to theme the status bar white. Plus it would probably look pretty sick with the white Vibrant.
I'm just waiting to see one, that's a little over my head to do myself. I know there isn't a whole lot of demand for vanilla themes though. Right now I'm using axura and it looks great with the white, runs great too.
Before I go to bed, I wanna create this thread before I completely forget.
If anyone has access to 2 S3's of each color, can you put on the white cover onto a blue S3 and take pictures?
Really curious to see how it would look.

like ****...color doesnt match up well but thats just MHO
yeah youre probably right. Im trying to visualize what it looks like in my head, especially after checking out that carbon fiber cover review a couple threads down.
But that black cover on blue looks real good.
Might have to grab one.
I remember there's a youtube video showing this. I'm on my phone but I'll try to find it.

Nice post. I like it. I ordered the white carbon fiber while I had my white s3 but have since swapped it for the blue. I may just use it now. Looks good imho.

If you have a white, the pebble blue folio case doesn't look too bad. I don't know how I feel about white on the blue though.
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...

Return it now and wait for the black release. Only way pretty much.

Unless you want a truly unique phone.
Would at&t get it tho? They have the red. I see the black going to sprint, Verizon or T-Mobile.

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.
