I'm in the same boat as you. I upgrade in July and I know I'm definitely getting this phone but just don't know in which color. I'm leaning towards the silver one because it looks really nice and I've never had a phone that was not black. I'm going to compare both in person before I make a decision though

Silver because it looks good.
choice of colour will be subjective,i think- personally i prefer black
I had a long time to decide what colour I wanted to order. The phone came out in mainland China before it really got going in Hong Kong (the model I wanted), so I had a chance to see the phone whenever I walked past the million or so phone shops that dot this city. Prior to seeing the phone in person, I had decided from pictures and videos on the internet that the silver is the one to get. Once I saw the phone in person, I ended up at the store for about 20 minutes trying to choose one. Both colour options are very nice. After the 20 minutes, black was the one that I wanted. I went back and forth a few times over the next couple weeks, but I eventually stuck with my original choice. Silver is nice but, I found that if you weren't looking at it up close, it for some reason appeared cheap. The black looked great at any distance, and fingerprints weren't as bad as some people are making it out to be.
So my advice is to go to a store and check them out. You won't go wrong with either, but I think Black is the best buy (probably also helps my last phone was the white One X).
*edit* The silver ones I have seen here have all had pretty terrible build quality compared to the black. Gaps and raised speaker grills a plenty.
Silver is pretty sharp!
Black is well, black...kinda boring IMHO.:angel:
Black looks stunning to be honest. But Just stick to the silver.
Having seen chips on the black one in person recently, I will again say that stick to silver.
From my HTC One, right in your face....
Silver for me because I tried black unit. All my fingerprints

Hello guys,
I'm about to jump on the g1 train, currently trying to decide between white or black Dream. I have only seen the black in person (still looking for the white ;P) and there arent that many reviews or opinions posted on the net (that I could found at least) as to what the difference between the two (other than the color of course) and their build quality is.
So, please post your opinions on the matter. I'm pretty sure there are quite a few users in here with the white version. Black seems more popular, for some reason its also more expensive in most shops. But is it also more robustly built?
The one solid difference I've been able to read about is that the white phone doesnt have the rubberized back the black one has. Is this true? What about the quality of the plastic used? Are both solid, or is one "weaker" than the other? How do both feel after a few months of use? Is the white one a magnet for dirt?
Thank you guys
Cheers
Niko

i dunno. I have seen an all white battery cover offered in a few other countries. If you do go white, you might want to look into the white battery cover. it looks slick
definanetly get a black one with the nice matte finish(it look the best) i have a white one and the paint is chipping around the memory stick slot, the chin and it is not very scratch resistant
even if you dont take the outer color into consideration, the keyboard on the black one is the best...the white and brown G1 have a keyboard that is harder to read in daylight.
black one! you can actually SEE the keyboard
Amen... White looks nice, but goodluck trying to see what youre typing if the sun is shining on it.

There is a way around the problem if you use "Backlight Off" from the market. You do however need root for it to work.....
funny you guys say that about the keyboard. i find it very hard to use in the sun, hardly see the keys at all. as far as build quality gos.
i love my white G1, however. it has a slight imperfection in regard to the underside of the chin where the backplate clicks onto on one side. it has a very small gap making that side not sit flush with the body of the phone. its not enough to notice unless you look for it but it drives me insane. the problem is worse when i use the extended battery making the whole thing feel flimsy and creaky. i have found myself wondering if i made the right choice getting a white one over a black.
I have the Bronze and the key board sucks outside wish I would have got the black.. But I still love my G1
Wow thanks a lot for the replies. White does look a lot better in pics (in my opinion at least ). Seems I'll take the black one tho
Thanks again, really helpful replies!
Cheers,
Niko
White one IS better looking.
I've got a black one, and hope I had chosen a white one... and most of my friends with the white one would say the same for the black one. Don't care much about the 'finish' or 'keyboard', it's all the same, just go for the one you personally prefer.
I would def stick with the black
Black unless you want to replace the keyboard. Even with backlight off on my bronze the keys were unreadable at times. With my black one it's looking for a program that turns back light on without a keypress.
I've got a black G1 and a friend of mine has got a white one.
Build quality is comparable i think, but there several other factors which make me favor the black G1:
- The 'rubbery' finish of the battery cover provides superiod grip when holding the G1 in your hand.
- The keyboard (even when lit) is better readable on a black g1 than on a white one. probably because the contrast between black keys/white characters on the keys is bigger.

in tmobile UK they offer the white g1 with white battery cover and white keys on the keyboard. but silver middle.
tmobile us is half white and from the keyboard down its silver. the back cover does however have the rubbery feel.
the white g1 however chips soooo easily =\ i have the white one. and i was reading somewhere that the first white g1s that were released in te US had the same whtie battery cover as the UK one,but were quickly recalled becuz of paint chipping issues.
i bought the black g1 first,but returned it for the white g1 since white is mroe visually appealing to me. however the white g1 keybaord sucks ass in daylight. white backlight on a silver keyboard just makes it hard to see.
some black g1s had the silver middle and keyboard, but nowadays tmobile stores sell a full black g1. the keyboard is actually a lot easier to see.but i hate the black g1 matte finish.
you can buy ZAGG invisible shield to make the black g1 have a shiny look and also protect it from scratches and chips.. or buy it for the white g1 to protect it from scratches and chips as well.
i plan to however to buy a white battery cover and install the zagg invisible shield(btw zagg offers lifetime warranty so you can easily get a replacement for free)
This poll is about choice of Black or Silver
This might makes things simplify for some people who is confused or can’t decide yet
This is poll about change of mind about colour
We can also know what’s is biggest reason for change of mind or choose color in first place
Many people bought HTC one Silver than decide to change mind to Black
While some folks bought Black and than decided to change it with Silver
Thanks:good:
I only had one choice, silver since I got the Dev edition
Although if I had a choice it still would be silver

im set on the silver. ive always had black smartphones. i think its time for a change. plus for me, i think the silver is more sleek looking and i love the alloy unibody look.
I wanted black 100% but EE/T-Mobile UK only carry the silver version, so I will be getting that
Why not simplify the poll to
Silver
Black
Couldn't choose so went with silver
" " with black

Same here and I bought silver but sent it back to P4u for replacement because there was slight gap and they offered me Black coz they don't have silver in stock but I refused and now bit confused as Black one is also looking cool
This thread is overly complicated, and redundant. We already have a thread for this here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2159207
This thread should be closed.
I want the black but if the finish is anything like the iPhone 5i will have to get silver.
Does anyone know how the black colour holds up? If its scratched will we see silver underneath?

Silver for me, even though the Black does look nice and stealthy. It was always going to be silver.

I have been debating this phone for a while already. To replace my Gnex.
What first drew me was the customization aspect. I wanted to get a Black front & White back (like my old Droid Incredible).
However as with my Inc the white back after a while got dirty quick.
You guys with the White X, have you had any problems with that?
I might just go all black since the b&w combination was my only incentive to wait for a custom one.
Thank you guys.
I've heard numerous reports of the white getting dirty quickly.

White matte rubbery surface getting dirty quickly? NO FRIGGIN WAY!!!
How is this a surprise to anyone? All you have to do is read one review, which will state the back is rubbery/matte
Due to the way they built the phone you can see dirt where the front and back are put together but a case would fix that
Thank you guys, now i'm 95% on getting it now. All black everything! 5% is on the HTC One, but i feel like i would have to really baby the phone compared to the X that i can just throw around (figuratively speaking of course)
You should try a white front. It looks really nice.

The white front never really appealed to me. Specially on the X. The black on screen buttons just didn't work out for me. If they had a Google Now look, if they were white or theme how Keylime is supposed to be an overhaul that looks like Google now and how it's unifying everything. then maybe a white phone... I'm so picky... -___-

Man, if they do that I'll be so sad. The current version of Android + AMOLED + black front = a beautiful thing
picking up n6 today cant decide what color is the blue as bad as they say on youtube for fingerprint or is it not that bad
thanks
I have the blue and fingerprints are pretty apparent. So much that I usually dont want to look at the back lol. But even then, I don't know if the white would be any better. That being said, I could be wrong because I don't have the white. I'll be putting a d-brand skin on it soon anyway.

Thanks mate
I got the white one not just because the finger prints are apparent on the blue but also I like the silver metal surrounding the phone on the white more than the blueish tint on the blue one.
I would say go with the white, it is more elegant. Plus the display of the phone and its surrounding is black from the front so you cant go wrong.
I'd personally go with the white one but seeing how hard it is to get a Nexus 6 in a reasonable time, pick up one that has the earliest delivery date.
Blue is much easier to get if you plan on getting the 64GB variant. I was able to nab it the first week I tried to get the phone!
The blue nexus 6 seems awful for me and white as well,
Google where is the black one !!!
anyway, I'm not rush since I have perfectly working nexus 5.
I got the white just because im tired of dark devices that I've alwsys had. It's a nice change
I can't decide whether to get the Deep Sea Blue Color or Midnight Black? I love both colours the most among other ones available.
Most of the time I will be using a Rugged "Clear Back" Case of Tech21 or Spigen or Otterbox so that I will get good drop protection without sacrificing the phone's elegant feel. And sometimes I wont be using a case at all.
I really like the Deep Sea Blue colour because in different lighting conditions the phone appears exceptionally sleek in every way.
Well on a side note if I use a Black Case, then my device visually becomes a black phone.
But the Midnight Black phone might be prone to a lot of fingerprints whereas the Deep Sea Blue one may not show that much.
However, the Midnight Black with its black almost bezel-less front, black rear and especially black "side frames" makes the phone like a complete screen on the palm of the hand.
But still can't decide which colour to get they're both very gorgeous looking devices. I love them both, but I have to go with one color that stands out the most.
And which phone will look more future-proof, since I am getting the 256GB Internal Flash Memory (256GB ROM) one from Hong Kong and are very expensive (for me) a bit over $1180 USD and I will be using this phone for a couple of years.
I've got the 256Gb dual SIM from China/Hong Kong in blue and it is stunning! I am also using the Samsung clear view stand case in blue ... it looks great and is a superb phone! I'm not going to root as I paid £20 for the full advert removal via Disconnect Pro & previously the main reason for rooting was advert removal!

I got the black after a lot of deliberation. Happy as larry [emoji847][emoji847]. The black does look all the things you mentioned and the screen just stands out a hell of a lot. I use a black case on it too.

black.
I'm an old person, trust me on this, live a little because it's a short ride. If the blue is talking to you, buy it and never look back.
Buy the blue. If you hate it, throw it in a black case and move on. Best of both worlds!
Get the Blue. They always have a black one it's to common. I have the gray one and I love it. I would have got the blue one if they had it at the time. Also the black one has no contrast to the sides. If the sides were chrome like on the gray one it would be cool.
...
Maple Gold is best 4 me!
Get the black one! Looks powerful sleek and elegant, I am using an aluminium frame with cristal back case and looks formidable!!
Many phones are available in black but very few in this shade of blue. Get the blue one, its more unique and it is definitely a stunning color for the Note 8. Chances are you wont regret it but if you do get tired of the color, put a solid color case on it.
