I was showing off my phone at work a week ago, then all of a sudden they are looking at replacing blackberrys with the HTC dreams. Woo, go android!.
Some of the people are looking for black dreams instead of the white ones. Someone said that they heard that the blacks were slower than the white ones. I haven't seen or heard anything that verifies that. Can anyone help me out?
Thanks.
forgot. HTC dreams on Rogers, in Canada Eh!

They are all the same no matter what color they are.
the white ones are just hard to see the keys when they light up
They should be fired. racists
I must agree, the white g1 keyboard is hard to see lit up in poor light. I went with a black one for that reason, I never had issues seeing the keyboard (except that short time I disabled the keyboard backlight).
Thanks all. I thought so, but I just wanted to make sure.
I really appreciate the knowledge shared around here.
(I wonder if they would let me root one of them for fun!)
So I heard different things from site to site..is there any official red version of phone..in internet there is only the front cover....also if exist do you know if it is a special version only for us as I am living in Europe

I've seen it up for order and in statements for the international market. It seems as if the USA market is only going to be seeing the black and silver versions though.
Here's one example: http://negrielectronics.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=HTCONE+801E#.UTTqcqLviSo
And more information: http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_one-5313.php
It may just be that they're delaying production of it in favor of the black and silver versions, but I only know what I've seen.
It may be the 64Gb version, who knows??

Here's what I've heard: when the HTC One's website was turned on, there were three colors (red, black, and silver) despite the fact that HTC only showed off Black and Silver at their event, and never even mentioned the red. Within some time (minutes? no idea) the red color disappeared. Some site asked HTC whether it existed, and some rep said that it was a site error. The thing is though, even if it was a mistake, there had to be a reason for a Red one to even exist--many think it may be exclusive to some carrier like the red GSIII was to ATT in the US or would just be introduced later, again like the black GSIII.
What I think is maybe the red one is prone to chipping lor something else. Dunno but if we're talking about anodization process red should be the most less durable color. Look at the rainbow red is 1st color so in short in order to achieve that color manufacturers must prematurely finish the anodization process. In anodization base the color of the metal on the rainbow. Red being the softest and violet/black/white being the hardest.
The only time I ever see a red device or a device with red accents, is because its also dropping for Verizon. I wonder if there were plans of Verizon also getting the One but some thing happened at the end. Oh well, I'm just glad tmo stepped up this time.

In my opinion, it will be released later as a special (or maybe limited) edition

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.

HTC it's not the first one to do exclusive colors for carriers, Samsung did out with the GS3.

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.

Clouud White for me
White or Navy ..... must see them live.
Navy
Orange. Nice to have choice, isn't it? ?
Red, if I get one.
Red, first samsung since an s3 many moons ago. Time to jump ship from pixel land as value seems better than the impending pixel 5
Just pre-ordered the Cloud White from O2 to replace my smashed P30.
Just pre-order the cloud navy from tmobile to replace my s8 plus.
Red...but the case I'm getting with it is blue? So I really don't care about the color since it will most definitely be in a case of some sort. If the "free" blue one doesn't work then it will probably end up in a black Spigen case...so color of phone is really irrelevant.

So I said this before I did my homework on bootloader unlock. The only reason I bought this was with the hopes that I could run custom roms to make it as Pixel as possible. I will be returning mine without even opening it. Why would a supposed "Fan Editon" not allow bootloader unlocking?? Samsung screwed me for the last time, should have known...

Braaah... It hasn't been unlocked in the US since s8. Pretty crazy not to do homework on that. I can't say I feel sorry for you, because I don't.
Got my S20 FE Navy Blue yesterday upgrading from the Nexus 6.
I'm totally in love with the color, its beautiful!
Red, I never use a case and fancied some bling
