Official Epic 4G Touch White Press Shots

Thanks pocketnow for the picture

It's hideous IMO....my 15 & 13 year old daughters would love it.

I don't see why they don't release these phones in multiple colors from the get go. Maybe blue, green, red, white, and black. Or something along those lines.

Thanks for the update. My wife was waiting for this in order to switch her white evo. She will be glad to hear the good news.

Is it just a white paint job or did they change some of the hardware? I actually don't mind different colors and white is the new black right? Anyways, I would rather have a white TPU case then this, but the wife's evo is due for an upgrade in a couple of months.

Looks pretty good, I still prefer black because of the low profile. Black hides dirt, white hides scratches

Yeah that would be nice.
If it came in the Blackberry Curve red color I would be on it.

I had that phone too. That was a nice color. White just isn't the color for me when it comes to electrnic devices

Right?! I seriously think they do it in hopes of people who already bought a black one will jus" t "fall in love" and outright just buy it.
It would be smarter and they would appeal to people who, for example, "need a white device" if they would release all colors on the same day. But, since theyre greedy and only care about money, people who were considering this phone but found out it was only in black bought another phone to their liking - does Samsung really think people will ditch their phone and jump on this one? Nope. Too late. They already used theyre upgrade, and if anything, now they dislike Samsung for doing this type of thing to them.
In other words, greed is the worst thing in this world.

I think it looks slick..i really like it. I'm wondering though, the battery cover looks glossy now...need some texture, IMO, otherwise it'll be too slippery lol.
And before anyone says it...yes, that is what she said.

Nice to finally see the Sprint pics for it. That January 8th date is looking more likely all the time per this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1373771&highlight=white
Hopefully a nice stable fully functional build of CM7 will be done around the time this hits retail shelves.

Actually white hides both better. when I had my E4GT in black and a case, I was constantly taking the phone out of the case to clean the edges where the phone meets the case. With my white skyrocket, I don't find myself doing that at all. I'm a real neat freak when it comes to phones, too.
Also, if the phone is anything like the skyrocket, you guys need to see the phone in person to appreciate the way it looks / color. I didnt like the white skyrocket, but when I had it in my hand and looked at it, it looked awesome.
I've had more then a couple people comment on how nice the phone is, and for someone to go out of their way and say that about a phone is pretty rare.
Just my .02.
EDIT: Also, I can't tell if this one has it, but my phone has a chrome rim which looks really nice. and the keys light up wayyyyy brighter then the black version and bleed through the white, which makes it look stellar at night. It;s also not white, it's a sort of pearl white. Again, you should probably look at it in person before you pass judgment.

I would have to see it in person. I gave my black Evo to the wifey when the white one came out but I doubt I do the same with the ET4G.

Only other color this phone would look good in is a Silver or metallic or better yet that charcoal Grey that's on BMW's

I would trade my black one in a heart beat! That's a slick looking phone!

Looks real clean. Is January 8th the confirmed date? I think I'll use my premiere upgrade close to the end of the month and if it releases on time I can trade it for the white

I don't think anything is confirmed but I find it funny that the promo shot has a date of 1/8 on the date/time/weather widget.

White vs Black

What you guys think??? pros and cons on black vs white galaxy s 2

Its just a difference of color..but one thing I can think of is that white may show more obvious blemishes over time where as black is less noticeable.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium

One is darker than the other

The white has a glossy back. With that you can install ghost armor on it to protect it from getting blemishes.

the white version is gonna get dirty really easily..the back cover is rubberised plastic..all kinda crap will stick to that

There are no pros or cons. It is just a color and a personal preference. I doubt anybody here has both to tell you both sides so pick your favorite color.
There is enough hate in the world. Why can't we all get along here ...?

Someone traded me there black galaxy s2 and $200 for my white one last week. I guess the colors are a big deal to some people. I thought they were crazy but i'm not stupid. I took that deal.

Wow, that's a come up right there. They must of really want the white one. I want one too, but I wouldn't give more than $50 and only because mine is a month older.

That's incorrect. I'm holding my white handset right now and the back is smooth plastic. It isn't rubberized like, for example, the G2x.
The advantage is that stuff won't stick to it, the disadvantage is that it tends to feel slippery.
Some observations people might be interested in - it's a pearl white color with the silver accents (including the earpiece grill and camera lens) The backlight from the touch sensitive buttons tends to bleed which cheapens the look ever so slightly but then again, I have then turned off using the Screenfilter widget. Still though, it's a sharp looking handset and I've received positive comments from co-workers.

I have both and for some reason the white model has like a yellow tint to the screen. I hate it. My vote is black. Although I think the black one would look neat with the chrome bezel the white one has.

I really liked the white one and wanted to keep it but that was to good of a deal to pass up.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA App

I had the Black one and now I have the White and the one thing I notice is that if you look at the top of the Black phone, on the bezzel, theres a sticker there that says Qualcomm 3G and on the White one it says Qualcomm 4G. Not sure exactly why they did that..
Other then that, the White one feels more responsive and smoother. Maybe they fixed all the bugs from the black ones.
The vibrent screen with the White back drop looks stunning.
The bezzel on the White one has a polished aluminum look which I personally think looks better then the Chrome. But thats just me... To much chrome can look bad sometimes.

I personally think white looks more feminine. But that is just me, and not that it is bad. Same goes with the white sunglasses that I have seen.

use it for 2more months and we'll see if it "turns" black

The only difference I can think of would be an effect on the camera, kinda like the problem the i-apple had

Exchange black one for white?

Would sprint let me do this? I got the phone back in November, so way past 30 days. just wondering if anyone has tried this. The white one looks so sick!

i highly doubt it. You would be better trading on craigslist or something

^ yeah I thought of that. Even looked on ebay but white ones are selling for way higher then the black ones !

not a chance in the world they would do this...silly to even ask something like that..

Maybe for a warrenty exchange if they like you

wouldn't they just replace it with the exact same model?
BTW, I talked my wife into taking my black one over the weekend, and grabbed a white one with her upgrade....they are really sharp!!

I still don't understand all of the white hype. I think the black looks cleaner, sexier... The white one looks "toyish" to me. I wonder if its just because they are a newer model that people are more drawn to them?

the aluminum trim around the outside of the case gives it a really nice contrast; plus, I put a Wrapsol on the phone, and, the capactive lights on the bottom, and the notification light on the top, have a really nice erie "glow" to them now..
I had a white Evo as well; I guess I just like to have something a bit different..

Yeah, I guess your right... I'll have to admit, before I saw the light I used to have a white iphone, I liked it at the time. Maybe that is why I dislike the white now, maybe the white for me has some kind of subconscious apple/iphone association thing.

plus, in my house, my wife has the same phone, so it makes it easier if we have different colors to keep track of who's phone is where!
Frankly, if they had a blue or red one, I would probably like those too!

Blue and Red... Now there's an idea

I was looking at the Galaxy note this weekend, and they have a blue one which looked really nice!

I had to bring my phone in for warranty reasons and asked since they have to give me a new one could it be the white one they said absolutely not has to be the same color. Got me mad too considering they are both the same damn thing same price and everything. So to answer your question, no they will not.

I just think it looks slicker but maybe its more of what I don't have. Just looks sick!! I don't have insurance tho oh well.

I think your right... I think it it is more of what you don't have. I bet if the white ones came out first, everyone would be wanted the black ones.

So I turned my Black 360 Silver.

If you hang around on the 360 forums on Reddit, you may have seen my post about my 360. Originally, I had the black 360 with black band, then one day I tripped and took a chunk out of the metal, looked awful. Bought a touch up pen, looked awful. So I made do. Until last week. I was thinking about sanding and polishing my 360 and asked some Redditors and they said it'd be difficult, but me and my friend did some heavy masking and it came out looking sexy. http://imgur.com/a/qrKAk there's an album of the photos, I'm gonna polish it some more, maybe make it almost chrome.

How did you do that? I recently picked up a black one cause they were on sale for $149. Didn't have the silver in stock so I got the black. Wanted the silver. ..if that's not to hard I might try it

I recently bought a silver one for the day's neither my black, nor gold urbane go with my work clothes. Black always goes with my insomnia programming clothes.

Basically we removed the straps, masked the rear, screen and button and starting using some Wet & Dry 800 sandpaper, came off really easily, like it was a coating. Then used a bit of autosol polish yesterday (the pictures were taken last week) and it looks beautiful, I just say be careful.

Looks great, I like the way the black is still in the recesses, looks better imo than the silver version.

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.

No. I'm guessing the only people with them in the US are using imported or LG issued versions at the moment. Are any of the carriers even stocking that color in the US?

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.

Got my black one on the way. Will be here tomorrow!

I have mine in black. Most of my phones have been black so I thought I wouldn't like another black one, but for what it's worth, it's a very pretty black. Probably does show fingerprints more than other colors however.

I've had mine from tmo since Friday. I ordered Thurs Oct 5th (called in) and the rep gave me overnight shipping. So have had the only color offered. Silver. I really wanted blue! but not available. It is EXACTLY like the G6 just a little larger and smaller bezels.:laugh:

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.
