The product image looks a bit different. The grey over at Motorola looks lighter than the product image on Best Buy or the Play Store for grey.
Also, Best Buy and Play Store show a color option as just "Grey". But Motorola lists it as "Stone Grey".
Are there 3 (Black, Stone Grey, and Grey) different leather band options or just 2? Or is it Best Buy and Google Play being lazy to add the world "Stone"?

supposedly Stone Grey was a limited edition.. not sure also if that means its a 3rd strap or they just meant the grey strap in general and didnt add "stone"

i called moto and they said they were the same...because i made two orders from them, one was grey, and the other stone grey...i'm pretty sure he just made up an answer though. Anything to get you off the phone faster.
I thought Best Buy had an exclusive on the gray band. Was that just temporary or am I mistaken?

Stone Gray popped up on BestBuy.com today. So now they have 3 listed.
There are two greys. The stone grey one is actually a bit purple!
I am not sure which one is meant to be limited edition or if simply they ran out of one grey and sourced a different strap as a temporary measure!!

On launch, when I ordered directly with moto, the site said the Gray is a launch day color only and the color will change later to the "stone" gray. But that may have changed since launch.
I got lucky and found a returned original dark gray at my local Best Buy this afternoon. It was marked down to $217.99 and with my Post Office 10% coupon, it was $191.88 plus tax.

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:

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.
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...
Sent from my X10i using Tapatalk
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

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
There's been some discussion about this buried in other threads, but today I received my Moto 360 which I'd ordered from Motorola.com on 9/16, and I can confirm that the band is the third, newer color, which Motorola had said would take the place of the gray leather.
I'd previously seen both a gray and a black strap on the Best Buy display units, so off the bat visually I can tell this is the new color. Additionally, and interestingly, the underside of the packaging has a [hastily torn off the thermal printer] sticker, which is laid OVER another sticker underneath, and it's quite clear the original sticker said "GREY LEATHER" and the new sticker says "STONE LEATHER".
I'd describe the color of the band as kind of a purplish gray actually. I definitely prefer the original gray if I had a choice, but this'll do until it gets replaced.
Picture please

Does it have a suede finish like the grey band does? I didnt realize that Moto was selling the 'new' color; I actually like the grey band better.

Not suede, its a fairly smooth grain on top. The inside has a very slight softness, like suede, to it. I felt like the gray band felt softer to me, but could be because it was handled to death at best buy... It was very worn in.

Yes, the grey band is soft & has a suede finish to it. Since I returned my grey moto 360 to BB due to it malfunctioning, I ordered a 'replacement' from Moto on 9/16 but thought I was ordering the same band. Sucks. Time to see if I can find one to buy.
Fossil has a couple of great looking 22mm leather bands for under $25 with free return shipping if it doesn't fit or you don't like it, so I'll probably get a sturdier band anyway.

Could you please confirm me that the the Model ID for the Stone Leather Moto360 is 00583NARTL? It's written on the sticker you mention, on the back of the box.
The question is due because on my local forum no one would believe me that there are three variants of Moto360 currently being sold. None of the Youtube reviewers seem to be aware of this as well. But the funniest stuff is that when on Motorola's site you select the Stone leather Moto360 you get the wrong picture of the watch (with a dark gray band). Three days ago I contacted Motorola's help chat to mention this and to suggest they change the image back to the one they used a week ago, but the guy at the help desk (named Aaron) didn't know which watch Motorola was selling and told me "we will verify the site". Three days have pased, the wrong picture is still there...
Anyways, for those of you who want to see the difference between the three straps, please find below the images with all three Moto360's available today.

Same here. I really dislike the new stone grey band and changed it out the second I got my watch. It's a good thing that we can change out the bands.
Anyone interested in buying or trading a stone grey band for dark grey band, PM me.
I have the original gray band that I am willing to part with. Tell me what it's worth to you-I have no clue.

See PM.
Would love to get an original gray leather band too... Was always sold out when I tried. Had to get Stone.
I am also dissapointed, that I will not be able to get dark grey variant. Good thing that the band is replaceable, so now its about to find some similar on the internet. Please post your tips.
I found one on techswiss website, but unfortunately can't post links there yet.. (watch-band-dark-grey-genuine-leather-alligator-grain)
I'm also trying to buy or trade for the original dark grey leather band. I had the dark grey originally, but my Moto 360 started acting up so I exchanged it, and unfortunately was sent the new stone leather band. I personally preferred the dark grey leather band over the new light stone grey one. Please PM me if you have the dark grey leather that you're willing to sell.
Also interested in trading the stone gray band for either the dark gray or black band. Please PM me for details if interested.
I had a dark gray for two days, but had an issue with the watch and had to return it. i prefer the suede texture over the leather even though the stone leather color is not that bad.
If anyone is willing to sell be their band I'm interested.
On another note, how has the suede band worn over time? does it still look ok, for example the edges?
I have a dark gray band that I'm not using, but I don't think I want to part with it. Could help me when I go to sell the watch.

Heya guys,
So I was looking at the mi5s and I realised that some versions don't have a brushed back while some do. Does anyone have any information about this? Has it maybe got something to do with the capacity of the phone for example maybe the 32gb version isn't brushed but the 128gb is???
Thanks for your help
As some users pointed out, the brushed version is on the 128GB version but not on the other couple. I'm getting my 3/64 gray colour version today and I'll see whether it's brushed back or not. But I don't care about that as much as I do about the all-black front. I'll report.
Got my phone today. I confirm that 3/64GB Gray version is NOT brushed. Beautiful nonetheless.

Mine is a 4/128GB Silver version and it looks very similar to yours, not sure how to tell if brushed, but from the pictures it is like yours.
Guys I have talked with a few Chinese resellers and they told me that the brushed versions aren't being manufactured even for the 128gb model . Its not so much a deal breaker but having it would be nice as it looks too 'normal' with the iphonish look going on.

Maybe the gray/silver hue on yours is a bit lighter maybe not. Maybe backs are actually the same. Mine does have the full black front though which yours likely doesn't if you ordered silver...

The colours are different on the silver and grey model. The grey is slightly grey and the silver is a more light, silver colour. You can see the difference when your look at the contrast of the antenna line and the rest of the body in pictures.

Probably will need to have the phones side by side to feel the difference... but I don't care about the brushed stuff, mine looks good
