I picked Luster white, because it stood out. It's a change.

You should also vote as the count shows 1 black and 1 white, white is mine

Black because I think it looks slightly slicker. The white is lovely too.

white because black is too overplayed.

I like the white one. That being said i have the black one.

White, because it is a refreshing change.

Black because they didn't have white when I bought mine.

I went with black. I had the white iPhone and the white for the x10 looks cheap and girlish

I got the black one sure to the white looking overly 'LOOK AT ME DAMNIT'.. I would have liked to see a silver model, though.

i have a white one because my last couple of phones were black so i wanted a change. id have preferred metalic or brushed metal. would have been a super cool look, plus made it feel weighty and expensive. i dont like cheap feeling plastic phones, both of which the black and white x10 have. ah well.

In the UK when I bought mine only one carrier had the white as an exclusive and as I was getting as a steal on upgrade (oh yes we can do it 'free' for £35.00 a month... thats nice bye bye, hang on a minute madam we can sell you one for £170 and charge you £10 a month) I was happy to receive the Black.
Also I was a bit worried that the white would look like you were somehow imitating an Iphone and I don't wish to pay homage to old Jobsy in any shape way or form!
The brushed metal sounds cool tho, maybe someone will come up with some replacement battery covers along those lines.

BLACK POWER!
But seriously though, to me piano black has always been the favourite. It just suits technology better imo, white just makes it look like a kitchen appliance.
And the white, iirc, doesn't have the non-slip battery grip, correct?

Correct, the white is "piano" white on the back as well. That being said, I have the white one. It's a nice change as 4 people in my friendsgroup have the black one. Also the white seems to be less a fingerprintmagnet..

Got the black one. Since most of my tech "toys" are black/silver. Except the Wii and my netbook.

Thanks for the confirmation.
And I'm not saying that the white one looks bad or anything, it just doesn't have that hifi feel to it and for hitech gear that's a cardinal sin.

Once you go black, you never go back.
Black or Silver has, and will always be my preferred colour for my phones, and think the white phones are more girly imo.

Black,as it just looks sleeker and im not a fan of white devices, the white does look good but just not for me.

White girly? *pfft*
The hot pink Suzuki Vitara I owned a couple years back was girly, a white phone is no big deal.
Speaking of colours, I would've loved to have an X10 in dark purple or dark scarlet red. Anyone else miss any colour options?

Any one that owns a white or black model can you give me some insight. Which one looks better overall? More prone to scratches? stuff like that.
The white one also seems more special for some reason but I absolutely hate how the frame around the screen is white, it looks like it doesn't match even the new white iphone4 is like that I wish it was more like the 3gs how the front was black.
I choose the white model, 2 main reasons, i believe that the white is more scratch proof (or at least less noticeable) and it will be probably a little more exclusive.
I had previously preordered the black one and when I went to the roadshow to collect it I saw the white version on display and found that it looks nicer.
Since I can't change the preordered colour there and then I'm using the black version now but if I had a chance to choose again I'll definitely take the white one.
The black version looks like any other black coloured phones but the white version gives me a feeling of higher quality and more premium looking. I think it's because the white coating is really very nicely done.
Though like all other white gadgets you'll have to be more careful in handling it as any scratches etc will be more obvious on the white surface.
Do you guys know if they sell the back covers separate some where?
If they had made the white model purely white (including screen borders), I might have considered it. I always find the contrast with the screen border vs the rest of the phone to be a bit strange.

I didn't even want white but that's what the seller I found had at the time so I just bought it anyway. I actually like it a lot now. And if you get sick of it, just slap a black hard case on it and you won't see it
I never buy white computer gadgets.
Old white PC's looked rubbish. (well, whitish)
White Xbox looked rubbish.
White iphone will look rubbish.
White Xperia Play looks rubbish.
Heck, white cars even look rubbish.
Just my opinion of course
Im not a big fan of white...
Black. White is too look at me'ish. IMO
White does look very nice though.
I do wish they used rubber coating on the back plate though, stupid SE. If any phone needed to have a non slip surface it's this one.
I hope a 3rd party releases rubbery back plates.
got the white it's perfect for cleaning and scratch proof / dust proof
Go ahead

I spoke to Nergi. They took some pics of a unit they had. The black on the front is there, not white. So the glass around the screen is black. This must have been a mock-up shot of the white.
is there a reason why verizon isn't getting the white version of the phone? I was planning to get that, but there's only black.

Did they say for sure that they would not ge getting the white one? At first, I thought that the white was exclusive to O2 but you can now get an unlocked one with the USA AT&T 3G 850/1900 bands. Probably the Canadian version. Maybe Verizon will offer later down the road.

Black or White

Anyone...who bought white could comment on it?
Well seeing as there is no Black version, it would be Blue vs White
Trick is the Blue is so dark that it looks like Black(the battery cover)!
Good Luck finding the White one. I gave up and got the "Blue" one and I could not be more happy. I like white devices...but I did not want to wait.
Blue and if you want white, get a white case.
Plus the prices for white are ridiculous.
Appears bigger than the blue ones. White is a classic clean look.
Lots of envy look from blue note users who wished they had waited.
I like white gadgets but the white bezel around deep black amoled screen doesn't really work for me. So I went for the hybrid solution: got the black (dark blue) Note and bought the white battery door separately.
We'll see how it looks, since I haven't received the white door yet. Hopefully, I'll get a look that's close to my old white iphone 3g.

I had a choice between the black/blue and the white and went for the white. It's clean, classy and looks great set up by the SuperAMOLED's vibrancy. I have posted some photos of my Note in the other White Note thread here on XDA.
In fact, I bought the white first but returned it after a few days. Now I got the black (or midnight blue) one, and I think this looks cooler than white..reasons:
1. The back cover of the white version is just plain, and the Samsung logo is boringly flat and non-reflective. In the dark version the back cover is beautifully textured, while the logo is not flat and is reflective.
2. The metallic ring around the white version is just simply metal. I like the gun metal color in the dark one.
The above two reasons make the dark version seems more subtle than the flashy white version.
3. Dusts are easily accumulated inside the gap between the glass and the metallic edge. This will be more obvious in the white version than the dark one.
I vote white (well since I have one), it looks pretty amazing. The black is too boring imho

Wonder if the white's colour will turn yellowish over time? It does happen to some white plastic products that I own, though admittedly these are not gadgets. I've heard about white iphone turning yellowish due to heating, or something to that effect.
I had some agnoising moments as well and finally went with the black. A white would mean it can get dirtier more easily, may even turn yellow (though not proven), and I may even have problems finding accessories that match. Besides, as someone pointed out in another thread, black is more immersive when you're viewing videos, reading ebooks, etc.
Oh well, those are thoughts I used to console myself and to stop the paralysis by analysis process.
Anyway online sells the battery door... multicilour...

Not only girls.
This is thee same purple tone Sony has been using on their slim premium VAIO laptops for a while and it just looks amazing in person.
It takes the laptop out of the bunch. I've had 3 or 4 purple VAIOs (N505 and a couple of Z series).
White is cool but black is just amazing, elegant and glassy. I can't maake up my mind

dragontail no good?
There's just something about the black version that makes it stand out. Very sleek and classy looking it is in black. Yes, it's a fingerprint magnet for sure, but I can forgive that in such a sexy looking phone.
I was in two minds as to whether to go for the black or the white. But after much deliberation I have plumped for the black.

What color did you preorder/get and why?

I still haven't gone to Verizon and pre ordered mines because I don't know what color to get. They told me they are positive that it won't sell out so I don't need to pre order anyway but still...What color did you pick and why? I'm leaning towards white but I'm not sure yet.
In my opinions the screen looks better with a black phone. I had a white s3 and always thought the screen didn't look that good. The I got the identical phone in black and everything just looked better.
Sent from my SCH-I545 using XDA Premium HD app
I was a little tempted to get the white one. Initially, my reasoning was that ALL of my phones are always black. I was thinking that always having a black phone is getting a little stale, so maybe I'd mix it up a little. However, I'm really not that into white phones. I would have gone with a blue perhaps, like the S3 I used to have. Also, I've heard that the non-black versions of the Note 3 have more of a glossy back cover compared to the black one's more matte finish, so there was that too.

From some video reviews, looks like the black version has the additional "soft-touch" coating on the back where the white one does not, just hard plastic. If that matters to you.

It certainly does. I have a white S3, still undecided on the Gnote (need to know more about real-life reception etc. and am still waiting for the dumbphone upgrade from another line to kick in so I can keep my unlimited data) but this solidified my decision to get a black one.
Black Note 3 & Black Galaxy Gear
Black Note 3 because the bezel will blend with the screen, also according to reviews it has a premium look compared to the white
Black Galaxy Gear because I don't want to draw anymore attention to it then I will already get. It will mostly hide under my sleeve.
I got black because I'm used to having black phones and also I think black looks better.

Black because I like the screen to seamlessly merge with the bezels when I am reading at night. Again black is just classic. One never goes wrong with this color.

I'll get the black also, I've never had a white phone before hat3 to see te black sensors on the front of the device like tiny little imperfections, it should be at least simetrical but that's just me nitpicking. Black just like a notebook.

1] cuzz I'm a guy... the white one just looks "girly" to me (opinion)
2] dirty hands... don't see myself keeping a white phone clean looking (esp.with the textured back and stitching)
3] front camera and sensors blend with the bezel better instead of showing up like a turd in the punchbowl
4] black and chrome just looks good... white and chrome?... not so much (opinion)
5] reviews showing the feel of the black finish is better... I don't think it's more rubberized... just more of a soft matte finish instead of gloss

White isn't discrete, black is .Black does not stick out as prominently as white.
As for elegant & showing less fingerprints yes.
I think you need to think a step ahead as to what colour case will work best provided you want to use a case in the first place.
Usually when this question is asked, what people should think about is the colour of the bezel around the screen. Sony's typically have a black bezel. Why does this matter ? Because black gives you more choices as to case colours than white.
If its a samsung phone, where the bezel is also white or not black, you want to go with a darker bezel almost always.
Sony is a bit harder as all come with black bezels. Same with the nokias. Notice they also all have black bezels, and then you have different colours.
white vs black Z1 variant is a tricky choice. As the colour of the strip is more attractive with the white than the black giving it that more elegant look. The aluminium strip on the white always catches my eye more than the one on the black.
So the question is are you going to use a case or not, if so black is easier to match than white. And any other colour besides those two will limit your choice of case colour that much more. Pink & lime are not neutral colours you have only 3 choices either same colour case or their compliment or black (depending on how much of the phone colour it reveals). Transparent is prolly easiest.
Pink & lime are actually complimentary colours themselves. that means they go well together.
