Ah you beat me to it. I dk. It looks really bright. I feel that I would scratch it. I had the white amaze and was ocd about cleaning it because lint and dust would be easily noticeable on the white finish.

Haha ya its feminine but its sexy as hell and something different and the chrome goes perfect with it. ALSO i wonder if the white would turn yellowish like some of the iphones because of the heat...

Sad part is as much as I want white, I don't know if I'd be willing to go through a few more units to find one with a good screen..
Maybe someone will offer the white color kits like they did with the iphone 4 a year ago.
In that case, I'd be down to have a white Galaxy S2. I think it looks hot especially with the right case!

Wow. Just today i was considering buying a white i9100 on Craigslist for $400. Good thing i decided to check out the forums first. I'm definitely going to get this one.

Whites not that hard to keep clean, and it looks freaking nice! Damn I wish I didn't already have my black GSII lol oh well

They have white cases, so saves me money if I really want one. Other than color, it's the same phone.

When you say white case, do you mean like a phone case to protect the phone itself or are you saying that the white kits are available now?
If they are, that's what I want for Christmas lol

i also dig the white t989... i really liked the white i9100 too but sort of regret getting the black t989 now. i have the white D30 case though, and it looks great.
i wonder if they'll sell white housings on ebay. those used to be so easy to find back in the day (think Nokia and Sony Ericsson pre-smart phones)... but now they're a rare commodity.

Ugh! I'm going to try to trade out my black one for a white one!

You mean go to the store and trade it out or trade with someone on craigslist? Let us know how that goes.

If they sell the white kits, I'd be willing to do the conversion. I was one of the first to convert my iphone 4 to white a year ago.
I got stopped everywhere I went bc folks wanted to know where I got the white iphone lol
I must have got a good batch of parts to work with because even when I sold it no one knew it was customized.
I'd be willing to go down this road again vs. going through the trouble of selling my phone with a good screen and praying I find another one like it

Buying the housing and replacing it over a grey model costs more than just buying a white one.

That sounds really good. I don't mind my surround being blue, but I do want the screen/soft keys black. I'd have to find a way to make the home button black too. Perhaps paint a white button black with black lexan body paint and swap at the same time.

You can run a very hot shower for awhile then do it in the bathroom with the steam (Makes dust fall to the ground) or I did mine in the basement where there is like 0 dust lol.

So these screens don't have any plugs? Or cables?

No luck there anyway. Just battery covers.
EDIT: Now that I look closely at repair videos, it looks like the glass is glued to the frame. Swapping it out isn't trivial and risks damaging the screen. Damn.

Yea, the colored part that you see on the front is where the glass is adhered to the metal frame. as you said, it can be done, but it's not exactly easy. I'm just glad i got the blue instead of the white one.

Looks like I'll have to find someone local to trade with

I really love the black HTC One. Its a shame VZW didn't get it. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

The HTC One has a unibody enclosure. I think it's safe to say that it's impossible unless you plan on gutting the phone.

it requires a special tool to take it apart. but if they want to change the front and back of the phone, they will need to replace the screen as its 1 piece for the whole front so this means wreak the LCD anyways.

it's not going to be a "cheap" color change and you're better off not doing it unless you want to spend the money.

Anyone spends money how they think is necessary/ appropriate, but this phone is simply not designed to be taken apart and attempting to disassemble seems absurd. Money wise makes no sense, you need to buy the back first, and then you need to buy and replace the whole front end... Then you run the risk of completely breaking the device. Oh and not counting that your warranty is completely voided... Seriously. Makes no sense at all. Sell the phone and get a phone with the color you want.

agreed, spray paint or even a vinyl would be a "safer" alternative.

Easiest way would be to look @ your phone through very dark glasses.

Opening the phone will also void your warranty. Just get yourself a nice case in the color you want. It will be MUCH less hassle.

good luck!

Look, TMO doesn't offer black either. So I ordered a black TPU case. It covers up just about the entire phone. Most people seeing me use the phone would think it is black with silver highlights. I'd do that for $10 before I'd attempt to swap out the housing.
Good luck!
