The only thing I've seen that is at all date-specific is for a "brown black" model coming in mid-June (but don't know where it will be released):
http://www.ubergizmo.com/2013/05/galaxy-note-8-0-in-brown-black-color-apparently-coming-in-june/

Is that Brown black that chocolate brown from the note2?

On sammmobile they report kw25 for release. Which is Form the 17th to 23rd of June

I'm just guessing, but I would say No since it looks like the Note 2 brown is often referred to as Amber Brown, and looking at the pictures I would not describe that brown as a "brown black" color.
I think very early reports indicated a black Note 8 would be coming, so I would guess that the "brown black" note is actually in reference to that, and thus that the color is going to be more like "black, with hints of brown".
But again, I'm just speculating.

Yep, probably just like they called the Note 1 BLUE. It was more of a blackish Blue

Hm, I'd really like a brown.
But now I thinking about whether to buy the 3g white version for 460€ or to wait another 5-6 weeks for the black 3g version that might cost around 500e in the beginning.

So does Samsung usually charge more for new colors then? I too am debating about waiting for the new black Note 8, but I doubt it would be worth it to me enough to pay extra.

They don't charge extra.
The MSRP was 599€ but the online retailer immediately sold it for 499€. In the meanwhile the prices dropped to about 460€ incl. 19% VAT for the white 3G version.
When they now bring the other colors, the prices would be about 499€ again and it wood take some days/weeks until they drop to the same level the white version is already (~455€)
That's all.

Oh, okay, thanks! Here in the US we haven't seen any drop in price yet for the Wifi-only model (selling at $400 currently, which is where it originally started selling at).

Anyone have pictures of the graphite model?

In the interest of those getting their desire from mobilephonesdirect I thought it would be useful if someone can post a picture of the graphite model so we know what it looks like (the only sell the graphite option)
thanks
here are both colors:
front
back
I spoke to mobilephonesdirect again today and they are saying that what they are classing as Graphite is the one shown on their website.
Which is what everyone else is calling brown.
While on the phone to them they said they had called HTC and they were told that they are NOT getting the silver one. (which is opposite to what they told me last week)
I think that they've just decided to call the brown one graphite to confuse everyone
The guy at customer support told me that if the phone I receive is not the same colour as the one shown on the website that I can return it.
TBH I don't think they even know
I'm the one who took the photos yesterday.
You're right about the color, I also think the color is more black then brown. If you watch it in daylight you can see a brown tint (the photos are taken under quite yellow fluorescent lamps).
By the way, the silver is not as shiny as it looks.
How come this silver color seems to be enigmatic? How come I don't see it at the usual retailers that will be offering the Desire? HTC didn't even make an official mention of it. Is it some kind of exclusive/special edition or what?
I thinks it's exclusive to some retailers, like PDAShop.be, they seem to offer the silver one exclusively.

On your photos, there are definitely docking pins on the bottom of the phones.
Do you know if the final version will have them?
HTC didn't even mention them... and i'm wondering about the different versions...
robertwebbe wrote on flicker that the silver model will be BelCompany exclusive!
Where do i preorder that if i need shipping to germany?
The silver model will only be exclusive for the dutch retail.
I've taken two mores pictures:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/robertwebbe/4426721923/in/set-72157623606179040/
About the docking pins; I've got different answers from HTC. One said the will be gone in the final model while another person says they wil stay. We will see.
nooooo i wanted the silver version, let's see if they take it to italy too.
Is graphite different to silver so?
mobilephonesdirect have told me they will be selling graphite sets and that the brown on their website is not the handset i would receive if i preordered.
I assumed by graphite they meant silver - but if robertwebbe is correct and silver is exclusive to another retailer, then graphite may be another colour we haven't seen yet?

There is another version that is clearly black, so calling the brown one black would be confusing, even though it does look more black than brown.

Best X10 case review (RT-SE10C2/R)

I just received my long waited case from Ray-out Japan exclusive case. The case is a must have to every X10 owner.
I received the case today from Japan, I ordered it online from a Japanese site Rakuten
http://en.item.rakuten.com/keitai/111-986835/
The case comes in 5 different glossy metallic colors and 1 clear, I ordered the Metallic Red color last week and it was shipped by EMS Express mail from Japan to the US.
The case/Jacket is one hell of a piece of accessory. Here is summary:
-The case is coated with 3H film and it is scratch resistant
-It fits the X10 perfectly and doest wobble around like other cases
-It came with screen protector, I think it is the same one SE uses on their X10 stock phones
-The case have a thick paint on it with Metallic touch, so there is no way it would slip from your hand and has a very solid feel to it
-The inside of the case has a glossy coating applied to it so it wont scratch the phone.
-The cost of the case is $25 plus shipping which is about $35 total price, I know it is expensive but well worth it
-The color is very bright and vibrant which screams quality paint
I have posted some pictures of the case to look at, sorry the picture colors are kinda dull. I used my crappy C902 camera. But the colors are vibrant as the stock photo which you can see from the official website below
http://www.ray-out.co.jp/products/se10c2/index.html
I highly recommend the case for every owner, it will breath a new life to your X10, its like a brand new phone
feel free to ask any questions
I tried to order the RT-SE10C3/B model from them before but when I reached the payment and shipment options it was all in Japanese, and couldn't understand anything ..
Is it available in any other (English) store?
Amazon Japan doesn't ship it internationally, and it's not on eBay ..

The store has a step by step guide with pictures for international customers. I just followed this guide it is easy to follow
http://event.rakuten.co.jp/borderless/guide/flow/en/
RT-SE10C3/B is the older model, they use rubberizes material instead of glossy, my brother has one, but the new version RT-SE10C1 has better quality in my opinion
That is a really sharp looking case. Thanks for the review, I think i'll order one.
Which color do you think would look best with white?

Clear was my 2nd choice of purchase, but I wanted to add more color to the X10, it looks like a giant version of X10 mini red but very bright red.
ill try to post better pics of the case, cause these colors are not doing it justice
i've tried clear cases like this before and the only thing i ever notice about them is the large amount of dirt/dust that accumulates between the case and phone. and HEY it's CLEAR! so everyone gets to enjoy it just like you ... my two cents...
I clear case "white" or is it see through...i have a black x10..and would like a white case...any recommendations?

Since you have the block model I would recommend the red metallic color it matches it perfectly!
Yea, i was looking at that too...it looks nice...but might be a bit flashy...haha
EDIT: @ Kbadone - How long did it take for the case to arrive? And where are you from?

AT&T Cyan Gel Case

Has anyone been able to get their hands on one of these yet? I went into the store and they said they have never had them:

I've been to a few AT&T stores and they don't have it in stock. I checked out the Microsoft Stores and they have the Incipio brand (instead of the Nokia brand) for the same $20 price. They only have black and pink right now too. They did say they plan on getting a large assortment of accessories in the next few weeks - not just black, cyan and pink. So I guess I'll wait to see what goodies come down the pipe.
good to know, i guess i'll be stopping my the msft store in a couple weeks to see if there is anything that strikes me

I did see those Incipio cases you're talking about. However, by the looks of it, they are considerably thicker than the TPU GEL ones sold at AT&T.
They also seem to be made out of silicone. Which means its a dust magnet and its harder to slide in and out of your pocket.
TPU is soooooo much better IMO...
Maybe I should mention that I saw all these cases on the 7th, so one day before official launch. So I don't know if those are all sold out, since I've heard that the phone itself had a higher demand than expected.

I want a Red/Scarlet Nokia cover. When I hand my NL900 to friends to check out they cant even tell I have a cover on it. Even with the cover on it it fits into my Golla phone wallet.
BTW, I recommend the Golla wallets if you can find them in the bigger sizes. My Focus is 1.5 years old and flawless, via the Golla phone wallet.

I got the black one for my black Lumia. I like how just by switching the case you can kind of achieve having either color phone. One thing I did notice about the cyan one was the it seems to be a little brighter than the cyan on the actual phone.

So you were able to purchase a Cyan gel case?
Has anyone been able to get the AT&T Cyan Gel Case? I looked in store and they don't have it and I placed an order in-store for AT&T to ship it to me directly but it still hasn't shipped (placed my order more than a week ago). What gives? I really need some protection on my phone. Sigh.
I have one of these cyan cases on my phone, it is pretty nice, our nokia rep gave it to me.
It is true, the stores, for the most part, only stock the black and pink full case. The cyan needs to be ordered. They also stock a cyan and lime green bumper.

Ooops, sorry didn't pay attention to the release date. I want to get one. I was going to buy a Cyan one but then thought what's the point because it's just gonna have a case on it so I won't be able to enjoy the color. Then I seen the OEM cyan. I don't want a 3rd party case as I'm concern it won't fit the contour as good as the OEM cases.
Mine just arrived from expansys yesterday. It shipped earlier than what they said it would. Just go and place an order, you may just get it.
By the way, I like it a lot. I can switch from black to blue at will now.

What color did you get?

Hi guys!
I am torn between the silver and the black version. Almost all my phones have been black, I had only one silver until now .
I really love the look of my black Note 7, wondering if the V30 will look the same...
So, if anyone got the black version, how do you like it, is it really glossy, how does it compare with a black S/Note Samsung phone?
Thank you !
Bought through T-Mobile so I didn't have a choice. They only have silver. I would have loved to have had that blue. I personally wouldn't do black for fear of it heating up faster if I have it on my dash for navigation. If you never have your phones where they can heat up and hit their thermal cut, black looks great.

Ah, my bad. For some reason I was thinking the blue. But no, I still haven't seen the black one either. I just know my V20 in grey was having enough thermal issues on my dash this summer and couldn't imagine what would have happened if it were black. I was also running streaming audio and maps out of it at the same time though but I don't think the dark color in sun helped me any.

It is glossy. But I love the look of it. I wouldn't say it even feels like glass, more like plastic. Mines going back because it's got a dead pixel on screen so that's annoying.
No choice, silver. Looks good though. I have a Dbrand on the way that I might not use. Silver looks good.

I think that's the first actual "live" shot I've seen of the black. Man it looks sleek. The beast in the background looks cool too.
I wanted the black one but T-Mobile only carried the silver. I'm starting to like it as I use no case. It doesn't show the fingerprints as much as the black model, which I looked at in (I think) was an AT&T store.

Brothers and Sisters, I've Seen The Light

Well, it was actually a demo unit in my local 'Carphone Warehouse' but OMG!!!
Trust me folks, however many pictures of the Note 10+ that you've seen, nothing prepares you for the sheer beauty of this device, absolutely stunning even sans the punchole.
I managed to persuade the sales agent to show me the back of the 'Aura Glow' model and I swear I saw an angel smiling at me through the shards of heavenly coloured lights that seemed to reach into my soul.
Anybody that covers up the back of this phone with a non clear case, should be branded as a heretic and stoned with 'iPhones'.
I'm mustering every ounce of self discipline to stop myself from running back into the shop and liberating every Note 10+ in stock, but I have my family and goldfish to think of, so roll on Friday.
You are wasted on these forums. Might have to take a trip to CPW myself, armed with sunglasses.

I'll probably regret getting Aura Blue instead of Aura Glow but I figured everyone would get the Aura Glow so I wanted to be different. The videos I have seen of the Glow are amazing. The blue does look pretty amazing to though.

LOL - well said - me, personally I am mostly interested in the beauty of the screen and the power underneath - I played around with a Note 10 Plus at ATT the other day and was blown away as you are. Friday can't come soon enough.
I am kind of a boring guy - I got the Aura Black - which seems like a fancy way of saying it is a Black Phone - but just the same, it is the SCREEN I am most interested - and what I will be looking at nearly 100 percent of the time....

I saw the black, blue, and glow at Best Buy on display. Glow is more muted in person than it is in videos. It's the color I went with, just because it was so different than any of my previous phones. My last two Notes were blue.
But. I will say the Aura Blue is gorgeous. It's not just a flat blue like the Note 9 or even the glossy blue of the Deep Sea Blue Note 8. It color shifts just a tad from dark blue to Royal Blue depending on the light.

The black is anything but plain black. It's almost a charcoal in some light. It's a very good looking phone. It almost had me wishing I had stuck with the 512GB instead of opting for the 256 to get the glow. But I've had a few black phones before, and glow is so different.

Anybody that covers up the back of this phone with a non clear case, should be branded as a heretic and stoned with 'iPhones'.

I agree, so what would the best clear case be? I wish they made the OtterBox Pursuit series for the Note line but they don't. I was thinking about getting the "Ghostek Atomic Slim" but I've read people said they had reception issue because of the Aluminum bumper. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07VJJMD25/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_1-jxDbKBJBJH4

I like 'ultra thin' cases, I find that even most cases touted as being 'slim' do add some bulk. Since I'm very careful with my phones these are adequate for my needs, and the once or twice that they've been dropped (by other people), no damage was incurred.
I have this one already, waiting to go on my phone the second it's unpacked.

I returned this one because I don't like the camera cutout.

I like a bulky case for more protection.

For me, bulky cases hide the original design of the phone too much, which sort of defeats one of the factors that made me buy it in the first instance.
It's like buying a Lamborghini and then covering it with thick armour plating because you're afraid of scratching the paintwork.

To each their own. I dont purchase technology for the looks, I purchase it for the performance and what it can actually do. Sure I purchased the Aura Glow version and I'd like to show it off with a see through case, but its the big beautiful screen and camera performance that matters most to me.

Thanks for your opinion.
Doesn't sans mean without?
I originally went with Aura Glow then decided on black since I will be putting a skin on it anyways. I always hated how the blue accents limited my skin choices on my note 9. Even though I loved the color itself.
Too bad they don't have the Aurora glow in 512gb version so I got the black one because that's the only one with that size storage. I find it kind of lame that they did that. But oh well I'm getting a rugged case anyways because I don't want it to break like my note 8 lol. I also find it dumb that they are going to release the 5G versión for TMobile later on ?*
I always get black phones. There is something about shiny or light colored phones.
It's the camera. I use my phone a lot at live music gigs with all the lights and stuff going on.
I always have it in a case anyways.
I agree, the "glow" is like a big diffraction grating spewing rainbow colors like a big bag of skittles just exploded. Like an air hockey table, it's a novelty that wears off fast.
If you see the glow, you know the phone has "only" 256GB of storage so there's that.
I was hesitating to pre-order until I saw the demos at best buy the day after the announcement. Went with the unlocked aurora blue trading in my wifes s8+ and getting the 200 dollar credit on the galaxy watch. Watch is coming today and phone tomorrow, can't wait.
I decided to go with black 256gb 5G, 512gb in 5G isn't available in UK through Samsung.com. Just checked tracking info, it says delivery is due tomorrow (Thursday) was expecting Friday so can't sleep anymore now.

When did it ship?

I'll probably regret getting Aura Blue instead of Aura Glow but I figured everyone would get the Aura Glow so I wanted to be different. The videos I have seen of the Glow are amazing. The blue does look pretty amazing to though.

You will be in the another group, the group of ones who want to be different
