Well I know he was asking a bit steep of a price but what are you looking at spending? I got one in black with the original screen protecter still on just a bit of a scratch on the back battery cover. Will also toss in a Mint condition White G1 (bricked it in a matter of hours of owning it)

Actually I'd like to sell it, but you must tell me how much you want to pay it and I can tell you if it's ok for me. I have got a black T-mobile G1 with mirror effect screen protector and with plastic custody.

It's the law of supply and demand. You are asking to buy it, so natually the price going to be higher than usual. These guys/gals probably won't release their G1, not unless it's worth their wild.
Your best bet is to check craiglist or amazon to see if any one want to sell their G1. You'll get a better deal than here.

The Black One

Anyone with a black HTC One yet?
Which bumper/case are you planning on getting with it?
I think I'm going for the black, need to play with it in the store to be 100% sure. I figure I need to wait until April for them in the UK, however, the thing looks f*cking NINJA. Like a stealth fighter dropping bombs all over the cheap and tacky tat that was the Android mobile phone selection.
If you have a Black One, let me know what your experiences with it have been like, build quality, videos, scratching, prints or marks, etc.
:good:

Doubt there will be any black retail before April (possibly late April / May)

That might be a good thing in the end. Syncs quite nicely with pay day.

Sorry but any high end bumper for example galaxy phone will always be of higher quality than you could fine for the one.
To me it is pointless to buy a one for build quality if you plan to put any kind lf casing on it.

[Q] Demo Units?

So, I was scouring eBay for a white "case" for my phone, I have the titanium one and I wanted to convert it to the white one, and I found a guy selling the "demo" units, those phones that are just a shell with a fake screen.
I was wondering if anyone knew if those were truly shells, in other words, could I buy one of those, and use it to replace my battery door/front bezel on my AtrixHD.
Thanks!

I don't think you can...in other words those are not real shells...

I do believe demo units are real casings. Typically they're real so costumers can get a feel for the phone.

Yea, I went ahead an ordered one, I figured worst comes to worst it's an $11 piece of plastic!

In my experience "almost" all of the demo units I've ever bought weren't casings.
But I'm guessing you'll confirm when you get your order.

BLUE!

Verizon has a blue model, but Best Buy is selling a different shade of blue called "Metallic Blue" for Sprint, Verizon, and AT&T.

So long as the best buy version for sprint is blue with the black trim, pretty sure that's gonna be what I get. If it's the white trim, I'm just gonna stick with the black.

It's black trim. It's pretty sick looking.

I went to the HTC website. It looked as though they were advertising the exclusivity of colors as a good thing (BB- Metallic blue, Sprint red, Verizon blueish).
Just goes to show how desperate they are.

That's what I was thinking, especially seeing it on their website, but you never know. First time I saw it I thought "gee, that's lame. That black is so much cooler looking." Then I kept seeing it and it grew on me. Apple must have been channeling me, because when I saw it my first thought was to somehow get a color matched background for it. Then they released a whole line of phones based on that idea.

That's not my point. Did you see the big ol' sign over the red and blue phones that signaled exclusivity?
Plus, Samsung is Samsung: a marketing machine. I thought HTC was different. I guess not.

I don't think HTC can gamble with not doing something like this. Just because Samsung does it, doesn't mean HTC can't. You'd be surprised how many people choose a phone based on the color of its shell. More options means better chances of finding someone to want it. And to be quite honest, HTC's phone colors are MUCH better than what Samsung has brought to the table.

Very good point. I think this is a great way for any device manufacturer to breed new life into their devices and keep a sustaining profit. Just look at the new iPhones obviously there is some sense of reasoning behind all this marketing.
As for the cost factor it's a no brainer obviously all the hardware is still there platform OS everything all they have to do is coloring.

Well, in my opinion, the lines of platform OS is beginning to blur with all the iOS users switching to Samsung and vice versa. People want a phone that looks cool. Features are just an added bonus.

You make it sound like we have a problem with the variety of colors. I don't.
What I'm absolutely livid about is that I have buyer's remorse over a phone that is CURRENTLY a flagship, and that, if only I had waited longer, I could have gotten a different color.
Staggering the releases of colors (there's been a gold One spotted) and making certain colors carrier exclusive comes exclusively at the cost of the customer. If I can afford the damn phone, I don't want to still have to make sacrifices like not getting the color I want at the time I want or with the carrier I like.
It's redonkulous.

There are ways around that. Like looking for someone to trade, or selling your phone for whatever it's going for on Craigslist and taking that money and buying another one that might be available from a private seller. But they don't release them all at once like that because they need something to continue the steady sales. If they release all the colors at once, they won't continue to get buyers 3 months after its release.

I would look at it differently. The one has been out for a while now and they are late to the game. So why not let them have incentive to purchase a premium device that you helped pioneer by being on the bleeding edge. Colors are great but if it matters enough there are many ways around getting into that newest phone. However intoxicated I may become with the miasma of spectrum I still prefer the been here since day one, (Silver) One.
Lol next gimmick will be just that, (preorders) will get a special color.

This will probably be pretty popular. As it stands in the iPhone the most popular colored so far is yellow so I'm thinking the mass majority of consumers appreciate yellow hues. Personally I'd like to see contrast or custom collection like blue/orange, purple/yellow, red/green and maybe Oreo.

White screen replacement on black model?

Has anyone gotten a white screen replacement on their black model? I need a new screen because one part of my screen is unresponsive and I'm out of warranty. I'm planning on buying a new phone later (hopefully nexus 6) but for now I've decided id like to fix my g2 and keep it for a while longer now that I saw its getting lollipop.
So I was wondering does the white screen fit same as black? I'm kinda bored of. The black and since I need a new screen I thought I might as well get a white one. Please only respond if your 100% sure because I don't want to buy it and take apart my phone only to find it doesn't fit the same (which I don't see why it shouldn't but just v want to make sure)
After I may also order a new back cover in white since they're only like 10-20 dollars and just remodel my whole phone
The back cover I have now is adjudged and scratched so I might as well.
Thanks!

Bump. Anyone? I guess I'll just grab a black one just to be safe and just get a white back to get a nice contrast like the nexus 5

That's what I was thinking too but just wanted to make sure because the materials are slightly different. I'll just send an email over to lg and see if they can give me any useful info.
And does anyone know a good video to follow for replacing a screen? I've never done it with a g2 and it looks pretty complicated when I looked one up. Is there no way to do it without removing the whole mother board and buttons and everything? The guy looked like he was ripping things off so I'm worried about following that video. If anyone knows a reliable one please link it thanks

I repair phones for a living.
Swapping the colors will not matter, they all fit the same.
Order the assembly (glass and LCD) part by your G2's model number, as the ribbon cable connectors are different sizes varied by model numbers.

Great thanks. And do you have any advice? I used to work at a cell phone store but only for a year and the only phone I've fixed was an iPhone because they're relatively easy to do and there lots of guides. For g2 I found only one video for vs980 and it seems really complicated. Should I just take it to someone. who does this for a living? I wanted to do that in the first place but they v wanted to charge me 175 dollars. to fix when I can get a brand new screen for as low as 50-75 dollars so I think the extra 100 is a bit much considering a g2 can easily be bought for 200-300 dollars

The video link I posted should help.
Basically they are all the same internally except for different cable connector sizes. All the repair steps are the same.
Watch the video and if it looks like something you don't feel confident doing, I'd definitely recommend taking it somewhere to get repaired.
My shop does take mail-in repairs and we charge $100 flat for G2 screen repairs. Let that be an option too if you feel you must have it repaired. Of course waiting on shipping and all that sucks but you'd likely save a chunk.
But yeah, definitely have someone repair it IF you don't feel confident... you don't want to mess it up beyond repair.

Alright thanks. I'll watch that video and see how I feel about it.
Thanks for the offer but I don't think I'll be able to do a mail in since currently this is the only phone I have. If I don't feel confident about it I might just buy a screen and then take it into the old store I worked at. I've been trying to avoid it because I quit but the guys there were nice and reliable so maybe they'll give me a deal

Totally know what you mean.
It's really not a bad repair. If you decide to do it, just follow directions and take your time on it. In my opinion, the hardest part of repairing a G2 is getting the plastic back off. Lol.
Good luck with it.
