Almost 2 weeks now and still it seems everyone is out of the Note 4 in white.
Anyone heard anything as to when these devices will finally come in?

Have you looked closely at the paint on the white one. Can really tell it was painted on. Looking at the demo best buy has there are little bubbles on the side. Black one has a much smoother finish

I think I know what you're talking about. Its where they covered the intennas you can see them on the black one too! Two on top, two on the bottom and one on the right hand side...I honestly didn't notice them on the white model at the store..noticed them on my black note. Doesn't bother me though...

How easy does the silver paint chip/wear off? I was thinking about going white over black, but didn't know if the white will start looking worn faster.
I just got my white e4gt 2 weeks ago so I can't really comment on how the paint will hold up but it seems like it will be just fine. I do know I like the look a whole lot better then my black one and the smooth back feels nicer too so I would definitely recommend it
Had mine for about 5 months now and doesn't show any wear yet. Still happy with it, have the Best Buy Black Tie program and haven't used it once!
The paint does not chip off...I have a case though... using for over 5 months

I just picked up a used one. It has chips in the silver paint. Not a big deal for the price I paid. I guess if you scratch or bump it hard enough it could be an issue.
had white housing on for about 2 months now, no paint missing or chipped or anything.
I've thrown my phone of course with the ballistic case on it and not one chip
From the 2nd galaxy
I usually use the Seidio spring holster. The bottom corners of the phone sit in the holster points and I am thinking these may cause some wear.
Ive had mine for months love the look of it so i got the clear case for it and the mirror screen protector and it looks really good like that no chipping or issues yet.
Mine still looks great!
Can black, asian, latino, etc Epic Touch owners answer too? Sheesh, this seems over the top.
Picked mine up right after launch of the white version. No scratches at all.

Without more punctuation, your question is directed at white owners of the E4GT.
It doesnt chip. I got mine almost a month ago and no chipping. It even still smells brand new. Lol I love this phone. :thumbup:

If I remember correctly, I think I saw an Engadget post about this problem. I remember them having to hold the release of the pebble blue models due to some kind of paint issue.

See if you can have it replaced with a white one.

I have the blue version and haven't had any issue. If the place you got it from doesn't replace it they are making custom backs that aren't too expensive. I heard of a metal back being sold a few weeks ago for those of us who don't particularly like the plastic look and feel of the original. I think it was like $10 or $12.

The metal back might disable nfc and interfere with the signal . They do look nice I was looking to get one but did a little research
I've hated the blue from day 1. Now that there is a black variant, I'm trying to find a black shell so I can change the color. I've been searching but no luck so far. Has anyone else seen any floating around?

Does that come with the screen or something? I'm just looking for the plastic shell with no components. I can't imagine it being more than about $30.

Don't be. I've used them numerous times over the years. They have quality stuff on there for good prices.

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 did it for.my gf.. bought a white one, chaanged the front glass to pink. and battery cover to pink, then added a pink battery cover. now shes happy lol.

I swapped my white to blue lol.
Cost 250 or so.
Probably going to get a 1x next though.

Read this and checked to find this is happening with my case. If you have the red case you might want to check.

Really!? Permanent, uneven, orange lines around the back edges of the tablet looks cool to you?
I don't have this case, so it's not of worry too me. I'm just shocked to find out that someone actually thinks that looks cool...

One update. I contacted Google and they refunded the cost of the case. It doesn't fix the issue but at least it's something.

Didn't mean anything negative by it, but it definitely doesn't look good.
What color do the uneven lines appear to be to you?

On that note, does anyone know where to get replacement backs? I bought a broken 32GB on ebay and fixed it up, (Only paid $50! Bezel was broken, but fixed up with epoxy no problem) the back is all cracked. Slapped a dbrand on there for the time being.
Okay, first I would like to start off that I've been on here for quite some time even though I don't post a whole hell of a lot, so I did search before I got this far lol.... I bought my One a few weeks after the release date and since then I've put quite the dent into it and the speakers have managed to blow somehow.. seeing I have to take apart practically the whole damn phone, I figured go big or go home and decided to do a whole body swap from white to blue... I was ready to order all of the parts on etradesupply.com and I came across this: http://www.etradesupply.com/htc-one-lcd-screen-and-digitizer-assembly-with-front-housing.html
As I was reading, I noticed that it said this:
Compatibility: HTC One*801c, 801n, 801s, 801e
I know for a fact this will work on the AT&T and t-mobile versions, can anyone confirm that it will work on Verizon's? I would just wing it and order it but I don't want to spend that much on it and the rest of the parts only for it to not fit.

Talked to HTC, average repair for our One is $90 so to save yourself a headache, might as well let them do the work for you.

Yeah I was gonna end up doing that if it wouldn't work... I was actually going to body swap colors but can't seem to tell if that lcd will work with the Verizon version... I could just do the upper and lower housing but I hear that they'll never stay on properly after install... I had a insured business that offered to do the swap and replace the speakers for $35... Probably not worth the risk.
I am sure they can body swap to a blue for you also for a little extra. I personally love the best buy blue.

That's why I was going to buy all the parts myself... I'll probably just see if the place working on my phone is able to find a blue front housing
I have the choice between red or black.
Which one would you get?
Blue is out of the question, it would cost me too much compare to black or red

I'd do anything for a black htc m7 vzw
Agreed with Andy. I have the blue and its great and all, but I'd hop on black much sooner. Or if they made a mirror finish silver with black accents.

After looking at the price for a red back.
I decided to go the Black route,
I actually liked the red Version but every place I looked at prices for red back was 3 times more than the black Version.
