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.
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.

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
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...

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.

So there is absolutely no difference in camera? I read it somewhere, that the camera took better shots on the black one, but perhaps they fixed it by updating the android version?
I'll go and buy the white GNex then
nope the color is the only difference
I bought the white chic one after my wife bought the titanium gray one, cause it was cheaper for me. As far as I can tell there is no difference between the two of them besides the color.
Only difference is the colors.

White Galaxy Nexus definitely ships with Yakju whereas the titanium can ship with Yakju or Takju depending on where it was ordered from. No big deal though
white ones back cover is bad plastic.not as rubbery as black one so it slips your hand easily. thats the only thing i don't like on my white gnex. oh and i had very slow disk writes first i bought with 4.0.4 rom. but now with stock 4.2.1 rom everything looks normal so far.
