It says right on engadget on the last picture the hardware version is 0003.
my white evo hw version is 003
HTC, why waste your time on a half assed white phone? What's the rush?
Buying the white one may give other people the impression you're carrying an iPhone. The last thing I want is someone thinking I am a simpleton iPhone Luser..
so it's just the battery cover that's white; i expected the front to be white as well; if you are going to rock the white, why only go half in, need to go all white out
I liked it cause it was diff and then also its hard to find some evos here and it would be easier to pre order that.
Thanks to this thread, went to bestbuy and got my white evo. Ive alwasy liked white gagdets and to those asking why not white in front. because it takes away from the screen. when you are watching a movie or any video for that matter the black just fades away, probably why you dont see too many white tvs.
Exactly! I just wish more of the bezel was white and just the face was black so you dont get this half and half stuff...

White Evo on July 11th - Bestbuy Exclusive
http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/18/white-htc-evo-4g-coming-exclusively-to-best-buy-on-july-11th/
Oh... that's sexy.
Looks pretty ugly to me since the front border it still all black. Only the battery cover and very thin border around it are actually white.

Working on cars or around the house, my hands are often dirty, even if just a little bit. A soft white phone would look horrible in my possession after a short time. The only advantage to white/silver/metallic devices is that a scratch isn't as apparent as it is with darker colors.
FUGLY!!!!!
ehhhh stick to the ORIGINAL color but would've been nice if it was all white instead of just the back cover.
I haven't got my black one yet!
Gaaahh... wtf is a matter with HTC only making the back cover white instead of the front as well. Could have been beautiful but the white, red, AND black make it look like crap
Zeus in heaven, that's heinous indeed!! Yuk.
It would look better if the front facia is white as well.

That's the reason I told my friend he was crazy to buy a white back iphone. Looks like sh#t!
I have it in good faith that the one in the picture in a black one and the other is just white...meaning the WHOLE phone is white, not just the back.

i got the white one cause i think it looks better then the rest. black is to boring looking. every phone now a days is black. i wanted the white one cause it looks nice and stands out. i can careless if its different then the rest on the sides.
I wanted the red but they didn't have it. They only had white and black, so I figured I'd go w the color I never get.

How were your black ones defective?
The Lcd screen under the glass were rotated lol I was bad....
they chose white gloss due to a matte finish would be a dirt magnet
plus at the end of the day most of use will put a cover on it anyway
I don't see how a color of a phone is going to effect the phone being defective....
So on the black phone is the part that is all white on the mytouch all rubber? I have really slow internet connection with my white one so I am gonna take it to tmobile and test one of there mt4g to see if its just my phone or where I live. I've never had slow internet before
Sent from my HTC Mytouch 4G White using XDA App
I don't have the white one, but have thought about getting it, as the white part is a hard plastic finish. I am worried about the paint on the red one that I got peeling off, which would be the case with the other colors too, except for the white. You know how that black finish use to peel off after use?
i dont think the rubber on the rest of the phones matter really. i just got back from tmobile and its not a big difference at all. i can barely tell a difference. i will stick with my white one. to bad my tmobile internet sucks really bad in my area. we can barley get 500kbps at best its really sad
I elected for the white one...because it matches my white netbook that is always with me, and because I prefered the smooth finish over the rubberized finish that was almost completely peeled off on the demo units they had in the store
I have a white one but I always wanted a black one. I hear they're bigger.

Because earlier, you were replying to someone who was being very tongue-in-cheek, and I don't think you realized it. The following person *thought* you realized it, but I don't think you caught it. Correct me if I'm wrong. This doesn't happen all that often on the internet, where someone assumes sarcasm, but is mistaken. It's usually happens the other way around.

Good screen basically has 160 degree view angle. If you tilt your screen and notice any loss of colors, whites getting blown, or see blacks getting reflective you have a bad screen.
or if you are rooted, check if you have the LCD-SO-C2 display instead of the LCD-SH-C2

how do i do that?
Another couple ways are:
1. Put the WiFi calling shortcut on the desktop. Tilt the phone around and see if the you still discern the white lines in the blue logo. If they blend together (and the blue starts turning green) that's probably a bad display.
2. Open the market and pull up downloads. As you tilt the screen, look at the company names beneath the application names, as well as the lines that separate the applications. If the names disappear and the lines disappear (or go "negative"), then it's a bad display.
Of course, "bad" is relative, and if you think it's great then keep it and enjoy.
or if you are rooted, check if you have the LCD-SO-C2 display instead of the LCD-SH-C2

hold down volume down and power, then select system info
So i called tmobile for replacement bec of bad screen and they are sending me another phone. The most important part i noticed was that when the rep said "i wonder why this phone is having screen issues" so tmobil know about it. Just wanted to put this out there for other people know. I hope my new phone is good haha
LCD-SH-C2 thats the one i have is that the bad one?
it looks good to me
Please post questions in the Q&A section.
I got my phone with a contract from radio shack, so is it possible to still get a replacement sent to me? Let me know guys. I have the receipt and box and all original contents.

I was wondering anyone here from UK has the Black edition of the DHD from Orange.
I was trying to search for some real life photographs of it without result.
From stocks image, it looks pretty awesome, and I was thinking of getting it, but it would suck if there is a big orange logo stamped on it. Anyone can confirm?
Thanks

the only orange branding on it, is on the battery cover (easly replaceable)
Thanks. I just looked up the bottom cover on ebay. £14 a cover still a rip off !
I had it in my presence for a day or so...
Unfortunately when I compared it to my brown DHD, I must say I much preferred the brown look. The orange logo in my opinion is a bit of an eyesore but its not that big.

May I ask why in particular? Or it is just a preference of colour personally?
i have one and it much nicer than the brown (i have both)
Hi
i own the black edition, and yes the orange logo is not very nice, but i plan to get another cover for it...
Anyway, the phone is quite nice, i must admit i've not seen (live) the brown one, but this is quite nice in black...
since the logo is printed on the bottom cover, we can replace luckily. But the thing is I only found the coffee colour version of it. and its not cheap, 15-20quid for that tiny cover.

Can you post some pix of your Black DHD mate?
My mates got a black one sim free no logos. Looks good but seems plain to me.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Most phones are black, this kind of brown colour gives you a sense of independence, it'll be very hard to come across something cheap that's brown not black.
I think the brown sort of shows different colour under different lighting, sometimes you even see it in silver. The black edition is totally matte black I think.
Where did you friend get the black version btw?
I got the brown version, and while I wanted the black version at first, the brown one looks sexier than I imagined. Too bad I use an otter box, so its black afterall^^

Can anybody with, if it's really true, a BLACK DHD be kind enough to post some pix please!!
yea, if anyone out here have access to the black and brown version and take a photo with them side by side, will be a very good comparision.
Just got a black DHD from Orange, compared to previous phones from them the branding is relatively unobtrusive. I've attatched a pic of the back panel that should give you some idea. Sorry about the quality but this was taken with a rubbish camera in poor lighting.

I was going to go with orange. I had it loaded up and ready to go.. But then I remembered that it looked kinda dull on my first x. Hoping the red pops a bit like my blue does on my current one.
That combo looks really good though.
something like that
It'll be one of these designs...I might save the $25 leather upcharge and put it towards either the rapid charger or a Moto Hint.
How's this

It's suppose to be a bumper.. I chose the crimson color one.. but the render is different than what it shows on the website..
The crimson from the product page is here. http://www.motorola.com/us/consumer...ses-for-Moto-X-by-CaseMate/hula-cases-x1.html
but i like the one from the moto x motomaker color.. it's more of a crimson. The link I posted is very orange like red..pinkish. I hope it's the darker red that matches the red trim color I chose...
Somewhat off topic: when I am making my designs and go to the end I get an error message saying that the 32GB and front color selection (whether black or white) is unavailable for T-Mobile at this time? Seems odd.
Anyway, heres what Ill attempt to make… I think. I happen to change my mind often
Slate back, white front, silver accents

this was one of the choices i was deciding between. i think this looks the most premium out of all the design choices possible. was also considering black front and white back aka storm trooper. ultimately decided i wanted a color that popped.

Yeah, I loved the 'Premium' look of this combo.
I considered the Storm Trooper look however my first Nexus 5 was the white edition and I hated it, ended up trading it for a black one.
