How many colors the Desire has?

Guys, ..
I am really confused, .. I thought there are only two colors for the Desire, Silver and "Urban" Brown.
but check the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1226tVPqnw
The device color looks pitch black to me Is it really black or am I color blind?
P.S. I know that color-blind only effects Red, Green and Blue colors, .. right? Lol

Only 2, Silver and Dark Brown.

There's also a black desire:

Just seen a "black" version at E2save. In the picture on that site, even the band around the edge of the screen looks black, giving the whole unit a rather cheap appearance.

Oh 3 colors, ok, more colors give users more options, which is good i guess ... and I agree with you crazybones, .. the black one does not look special at all

Good spot. That's the same picture. I might hold off ordering until the colours in the UK distribution channels are known. Silver or brown look great, but the black is a No No!

The black Desires are all preproduction units. They also have a red ring around the camera.
The final versions are Urban Brown or Silver, although Silver looks grey plasticky cheap to me. I'm going for the brown one...

proper black looks the best i think, but if it wont be available im gettin the brown one

Are you sure of this claim? so there are not gonna be any official black versions? because as far as I know, even the Silver ones have not officially been announced or showed by HTC

this is a render from a long time back when the phone was only rumored to be in existence. That is not what the Desire looks like now. Even if there is a black one it wont look anything like this.

And if you look at the optical trackpad. You see it doesn't have button. And Tis button is needed to take pictures so I don't think there will be a black desire. They are just engineering samples.

I emailed Handtec today as it looks like their going to be the cheapest about the black HTC desire and this is what they said.
With regards to this the device will be sent from HTC direct, but we are unsure on the exact colour at the moment but it looks like it may be the black anyway, any other colours will be locked to networks and therefore not available sim free,
Looks like black may only be given if buying sim free which I'm planning too anyway

a lot of people confuse dark brown with black, ... so if i were you, i would ask them again, is it dark brown, or black? ... as most of the videos/pics of the unlocked Desire I saw contains dark brown, only one had black on it (and in the video they said its not a final device)

So what about GRAPHITE colour then guys? Is Graphite = Dark Brown or what? Cause on clove & handtec it says device colour is Graphite... I am confused as 2 which colour shall I choose when ordering...
K7

I emailled and called HTC today about (among other things) which colours would be available. The available colours depend on which country you are in and their customer service people could only go by the info on their website.
I have emailled their press people to get a definitive answer and will post a reply when they get back to me.

if you look at the video on youtube (italian review) it definitely looks grey/black. I reckon this is the graphite model as opposed to the urban brown. Handtec and clove have both updated their descriptions to say graphite now.

So graphite means dark or "Urban" brown and *not* silver ?
what a miss-use of the color name

definition of graphite: n.
A soft, steel-gray to black, hexagonally crystallized allotrope of carbon with a metallic luster and a greasy feel, used in lead pencils, lubricants, paints, and coatings, that is fabricated into a variety of forms such as molds, bricks, electrodes, crucibles, and rocket nozzles. Also called black lead, plumbago.
if the *pencil* color is "Brown" ... than i have serious color-blind issues
here is a pic of the "actual" graphite, does the image look like more silver/gray or more dark/urban brown to you?
and here is a pic from a tech point of view to confirm
any more doubts?

I'm not sure the technical aspect of what you just said however I'll try to answer as best I can.
GH is a skin film that goes over your phone to protect it from scratches, nicks etc.
It comes with a clear film that goes on the front also and acts as a screen protector as well
You guys can learn more about it from their site. Just google their name & you'll easily find it!

any news of these going on ebay?

Sounds good

I doubt that there will be any housing for our version of galaxy s2 anytime soon.
There's not a single oem housing or after market for the black, so chances are when you're tired of this phone, they might have something for it.

I've had both the black and white, and I had to stay with the white to get the free offer, and I prefer the black one. For one, the light doesn't bleed in the front buttons, second, the white is completely smooth. So it slides off everything. I like the texture of the black one. Plus the black gives the phone a smooth look. The white clearly points out where the screen ends.

Now, there is no official word from Samsung and it could just be the lighting causing it to look black. But could also be a hint that its coming. I think a black S3 would look pretty awesome, id be pissed though since i already got my pebble blue version.

Ok, now I'm pissed. I wanted black from the start.

I would have taken black as well. Not, saying Blue isn't nice, but shiny black is like eye candy to me.

I've actually grown fond of the Pebble Blue.

I see some blue in there. I don't know......
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium

Looks like a lighting effect. Look at the color where it is closest to the white phone, it is reflecting blue.

Either way black would have been my color choice instead of this white one.

Yah that's definitely just lighting. That's looks blue. Even the border shows hints of blue. But damn..a pebble black would've been sexy tho

Thats Fuuu!! I wanted black. pebble blue is kinda meh.

If you look closely at the besel it is blue

If the phone was black there wouldnt be such a big difference between the screen and the bezel, especially in a press photo. Would have been chill though

I'd trade my 32 GB blue for a 16 GB black. . . lol

Meh.. black is cool but very common. I bought the pebble blue version (happy!!)
Ps we should all keep calling Samsung to pressure them to give us info on the black one!

It's clearly a pebble blue model with a colored screen protector, you can tell by the bezel.

was just up at the att store returning a case and from far away i saw what appeared to be a black s3...only to walk up closer and see it was the blue one. it genuinely looked like the one in the picture. my guess this is just bad lighting

I think the Pebble Blue is a great color. Love it. Have a very well installed screen protector and one of those soft cases with the Android Guy on the back. I also put one of those clips that fold open to slide your fingers thru so you can text with just one hand. Saw it on YouTube and had to have it. $25.00 for that plastic clip but very well made and works great.

I agree, matter of personal preference!
It would be cool to see some glow in the dark TPU cases. They could easily make some lumibrite cases that would glow super bright for hours. This stuff is so bright for the first few minutes of coming in from a sunny day you would not need to use the torch (flashlight) feature on your phone.
Of course your phone would be glowing like a lightstick at a rave so some may not want to do that.

how much $$$ ????

$2.49 glow in the dark silicone case

you can read the reviews online

A GITD TPU case made of tritiated aerogel would rock! Basically steady 200+ microlamberts illumination for 10+ years. Of course no one keeps their phone that long, but you could hang it on the head doorknob so you don't have to wake others in the middle of the night during pee breaks.

Which Xperia M Colour did You Buy?

I bought the black. I really liked it. I did notice when holding a white smartphone though, that by comparisson, the black is...very dark. It seems obvious but brighter colours really are easier on the eyes.
My black Xperia M is faulty and I'm getting a replacement. I have the chance to choose another colour if I wish. :fingers-crossed:
Which colour did you choose?
My thoughts:
Black: Sleek, traditional Sony, only a problem if you prefer bright colours (black UI and black case and front)
Yellow: I'm afraid that the shade of yellow might not be so nice. But I like that it's different.
Purple: It matches the black well, but I'm afraid that the colour might be too popular with girls...
White: Looks awesome...one big problem - the LED at the bottom front of the phone looks hard to see in daylight. This is not a problem with the black front.
Are the coloured versions too popular with girls? Is that a silly idea? I know that it will attract too much attention from other people, yet, it's a cultural thing, some cultures won't have this problem.
Is the white version hard to see the LED??
What do you think? :victory:

I got a black and purple in the box figure you get white or yellow with the other option I like the purple it's dark enough and with a clear gel case I've dropped this phone several times On to the footpath for €6 its saved my 150 investment over and over just my two cents this topic should really be in accessorys I think but no hassle
Sent from my C1905 using xda app-developers app

Black.
@SharpnShiny maybe add a poll to make it more survey-like....?

Well I asked Sony if you can buy other covers and they said no. You get the colour of the phone you buy and that's it. So that's why I didn't choose accessories. Ha I'll be moving to Van in a few weeks. I was just scouting the carriers/networks and I see black/white seems to dominate on Bell/Rogers. Would a guy stick out like a nail with a purple phone?
So two for black so far. Hmm.

Not in van ha you won't stick out it's a colourful city and it's people

I bought WHITE one & it's so beautiful...
But I think can buy back pot with any color!

Purple - Phone was for my mother and she wanted purple.
Now has a purple semi clear gel cover and it still looks good.
My own phones are all black..a man thing, but I could swing with purple now I've seen it.

That's not the phone, as you can unlock the bootloader.
It's just the phone company that's placed some restriction on your phone if it can not be unlocked.
I don't have my phone unlocked, but I do have full root access.
This provides all the features I require at this time.. and if Sony releases Android 4.3 I'm still able to OTA upgrade.
The only limiting factors I see of the XPERIA M is 2GB user storage and an also ran 5MP camera.
Oh and the fact, I've not found any original back covers available for purchase for the Sony XPERIA M... yet.
They do include the NFC panel and buttons.. anyway all things can be found in China for those who wait. :fingers-crossed:

I know its the phone carrier that placed the restriction. I meant that i regret buying the xperia m in general.

Yes I chose white in the poll, I think it looks stunning in white, but I did see in videos on Youtube that the LED is hard to see. That's a shame. I really find the LED useful for notifactions so decided not to get it.
