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

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.

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.

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

My Dinc2 upgraded to a two tone color bonanza!

Hey there!
I recently broke my screen (see this thread for picks before repair), and well I repaired it and I added some'n extra for good measure:
Unveiling the 2 tone model of the Droid Incredible 2. It is simply INCREDIBLE.
(Click on the images for larger version!)
(imgur album: http://imgur.com/a/Bxzte#0)
Advantages:
1) NO Verizon branding on my phone anymore! Take that Big Red!
2) Two colors, and the oh so coveted red!!!
Disadvantages:
1) As seen in picture 2, there is NO hole for the Front facing camera! I didn't notice this while assembly, else I could have scrapped off the paint a little. I still can do it by simply opening the back and removing the mother board, but I fear I may damage the digitizer or at the least it will look ugly. Plus, I hardly (if never) use it, so I should at least be happy for a working phone again! That looks rad in its new colors!!!
Bottom line: I am loving it!
Question:
Do you prefer me to keep it like this in 2 tones, (battery cover is black, while front is red) or make it red all the way!? If so, I have a spare, unused black battery cover that I will be willing to trade with someone for either cash or a spare red battery cover. Hmm... :fingers-crossed:
Peace!

Keep it two-toned!

Thanks! Though shattering my Dinc2's screen was a bad thing, it led to a lot more beautiful phone!! But I don't recommend others break their screen as well! :silly:

I went to full red when I rebuilt mine, but my black battery cover was not in good shape. My sister has a white dinc2 and thinks we should trade battery covers at christmas time so we have candy cane colored phones lol

Most of my "minor" issues after replacing the digitizer is due to the issues/defects of the digitizer. The digitizer panel has no slot for FFC and the symbols above the capacitive buttons are cut out, rather than being transparent. So, when I rotate the phone, the buttons don't rotate as those symbols are etched onto the digitizer, while that area is left transparent/translucent in the case of the original digitizer... That means that in all our ICS ROMs that have issues with capacitive button back lights, I will not have this problem of course, I will not be able to rotate the buttons either, which is not the biggest feature, honestly.
So, there you have it, no FFC (I can test the FFC works by shining a torch at that area, that causes the camera output to be a red glow on the screen! lame!) and no rotating buttons!

Haha, when they sent me my Dinc2 they said all they had was red with a black back. When I got the phone it was a fully assembled red phone, back and all, and they also had a black back cover in the Verizon packaging. Just.seen the other day its still sitting in my drawer with a sticker for 19.99 lol

Does it look "cooler" in full red, or cooler in red and black. I kinda feel full red is cooler and but it may be because my black back cover is very worn. I have an unused black battery cover that VZW sent in along with the phone, which already came with a black cover, much like your red phone... it is easier and cheaper for me to put that new black cover than splurge on a new red cover. soooo, what's better?

Now this, is a shut up and take my money moment.

I actually like the black and red. Kind of like what HTC is doing now a days with the two tone phones. I just never took my black cover out that they sent me cause I have a black phone case so you would never see it anyways... But I do like the black and red if the phone is naked...

I love my phones naked! Lol... Actually both the phones I had so far (Droid X2 and Dinc2) are sturdy and hence I never needed a cover to help grip it better and they don't break on falling once... or twice or thrice. Mine suffered a lot of abuse on concrete and finally gave up! I commend it and I in return it treated me by upgrading to this new sexy avatar!!! Nice.

My sister got her white phone from cowboom. I got mine on ebay and it was black, but I bought the red parts from ebay. They are verizon branded so I assume at some point they were available from Verizon.
You can buy white, red, or black battery covers on ebay.

Yeah, I got my red one directly from Verizon as a replacement for a terrible X2. I like the red...

i kinda like it!

I've got the reverse version of the OP's phone: black front and red back. I ordered a red battery cover (from FleaBay) when my wife got her own Inc2, in order to differentiate them when they're sitting on the counter. I'm liking the 2-tone.

l would like to try a white Phone once but I work all day with coins and Silver, my fingertips are black too many hours a day.. keeping a white phone white work be a chore, besides my phones are almost never out of their black cases.

Black, there's just something odd about a white phone to me. I like my screen to blend in (somewhat) with the rest of the phone.
