I noticed that white version is showing on Best Buys site now. Still shows as not available, but its probably coming soon. Anyone gonna swap out their blue for the white? I was originally planning on it, but after going through several just to find a good one I dont want to go through that again. Not to mention the dirt issue with the white. I can just picture the grooves on the back filling up with gunk and dirt.
Heres the link if anyone wants to check it out. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Asus+-+...hite/5432045.p?id=1218646128738&skuId=5432045
WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.
Going to snap get this.
TY obv.
And the reason I'm getting a white one is the edge around the bezel is silver which, to me, looks better/classier/ect. And having a case/ taking care of your tablet should cover the dirt issues.
Wonder if they will ship with .17 or .26/.29?
i hope they get them in soon... i am def trading mine up for the white version ~
as for the fw... i'd guess .29
Now how many months until the UK gets it? *Sigh* and I hope it's not exclusive to 1 retailer like the blue version, they can happily control the price No competition :/
I wanted the red one but couldn't pass on the deal I got. maybe ill trade with somebody.
Also, I noticed Bb.com had the red one a few weeks ago but took it down. All it said was out of stock.

I wouldn't recommend getting the white. Without fail, white electronics tend to oxidize over time and turn a slight yellow.

i just got back from exchanging mine... it's not really in stock at any of the bb around my area, so i had them order it and ship it to my house... the dock shows oos in their system [just like online], so i will have to get that at a later date...
The status has changed for several of the stores near me (California), that says ship to store (5 to 7 days) now, when it was saying unavailable.

Man that thing is clean. Yes plz on a dock tho.
UGH! That thing looks sweet.
BB has the white for 399. No red.
Is red not going to be available in the US?
399 for that white seems steep with the blue on sale for 349, but then again I am a tight ace.
I wish they would get white and red in stores so I can go look at them. I would buy one of them for sure, and stop waiting for this never to be seen 700.

no it wasn't "defective" per say, but it did have the common problems others reported.. poor battery (although i fixed that), battery door not flush, light leak, purple novatek screen. although i didn't mention any of that to best buy, they didn't care. just did a straight hardware swap, as it was within my 30 days. no restock fee either. much to my relief, the white is a glossy white, not a rubber white-- just like the iphone.

Just what I thought. I have the same battery door problem (and slight capacitative button leak) and it is driving me mad. I'm not sure if I should get a white exchange (easy) or try to get a black replacement (harder if BB doesn't think battery door is a problem).
How does the 50/50 black/white phone look? Is the back cover hard and glossy? Or soft and glossy? Did you just call BB and ask if they have the white version in stock 5 days before release?
Also does your white evo leak light at the bottom trim? At the bottom of the actual screen, between the capacitative buttons and screen?

-hard and glossy.. see above pics
-i pre-ordered the white one about 2 weeks ago
-no light leak around the bottom. there is some on the lower right side however (slight) i've yet to have a touch screen phone that didn't have some light leak though.
only thing is, the only way they could do the swap was refunding the original phone back to my CC, and then I had to pay for the new one. Since CC refunds aren't instant, i needed to have the cash to do the swap. it will all balance out in 48 hours though. they warned me this might happen when i pre-ordered.

As far as keeping it clean, really?? I have a white ipod thats been around for ages and still looks great, hint: 1. wash hands before picking up phone 2. try and keep phone out of dirt and mud 3. possibly do a serch here for the new thread I'll be starting in the dev forum, I'm going to title it "IDIOT PROOF method to keep your new whit Evo looking all nice and sparkly"

So finally after months and months of searching for a white HTC Evo, I'm hearing word that we will be getting them in around the 14th of this month at my work. (Best Buy).
I'm going to search our system for drop shipments tomorrow when I go in, and try to see if I can find anything.
I got two black Evo's around the 12th of last month, so I guess I can do without my phone for a few days to exchange it out!!!
Anybody else excited as I am?
Considering I waited two months for a white one when I could have walked out the store with a black one I'm excited to hear this. Now I just hope the Mobile people will work with me and get it switched out.
I had a dream last night that I was forced into getting a white one after taking my black one in for a repair.

I checked the system the other day, and the SKU is now active instead of being discontinued. But nothing in sight...
That's not good considering my 30 days is up in one week.
Every store in Florida pretty much 6-10 White Evo's currently in stock. I will be getting mine in a few days.
So if you want one, call your local Best Buy!

I just called the best buy here and was told they are still discontinued but Sprint makes them keep the display up. Even though best buy's website now has them for sale (but sold out) when last week you couldn't even find them on there.
I can tell you that you most likely talked to the sales operator who doesn't know jack... (Or at least at that store.)
What store are you closest to? I have a printout of all the stores and there inventory numbers...

512? Is that Melbourne?... They're not in our district anymore, so it's not on my paper. I can check their numbers later, but I promise if you ask their sales operator to check on the sku # 9955611 and ask how many they have, they will have some.

right on, thanks man. I have a friend who has been waiting for months to get one so I thought I would check
Strangely enough got a replacement through ausurion, and it was a white evo
I wish I shared everyone else's love for the white version. When it was announced, I essentially wet myself because it sounded like the sexiest phone in history. I was really, really disappointed at the half-white/half-black final product. Had it been all white, I would have been all over it.
I work for best buy wireless in brandon fl and we got 16 white evos last week
Got mine today!
I will have to say, it is so much sexier in the hand!!!!
I also noticed the screen has much better color and viewing than my old model. We had a few to compare in person when I was doing the exchange... I am so happy!

I love my white Evo. My fiance wanted one too but all the nearby BestBuys told me that they dont make them any more and dont plan to. We got her a black one last weekend. Sure wish I could find a white Evo in Georgia and exchange hers out. I would get so many brownie points for that!!
There are plenty of Best Buy's in Georgia... You have plenty of time to bring it back and exchange it! I am more in love with mine than I thought... Guess the wifey isn't going to get any attention anytime soon!
Its crazy how it worked. I got my Evo right after they were released. I called for weeks and finally found 1 in stock and they swore to me that it was black, becasue I did not want white. When I got there it was white....but I had been waiting and didnt know when any one would get another Evo in so I went ahead and got it. Now I am SOOO happy I got white because I absolutely love it!! Now my girl wants white and she gets a black one...maybe she'll end up loving it...I just dont see that happening though
And there goes the question I just can't find an answer to for now.
First of all: I own a white N5 (and its' cover will be replaced by a black one soon enough because the nexus logo is partly peeled off)
Now I'm torn whether I should go with the white or the sand Nexus 9...
As far as the pictures go, I prefer the white one for its' more metallic look on the alumunium frame whereas the sand-colored one is way darker there. Same applies to the nexus logo.
But the sandy back has kind of a premium look which (imho) very slightly surpasses the white one as far as that goes...
Then again there are no legit pictures of the sand version yet...I don't quite trust those rendered pics which can be found in the playstore and the white one looked good in those hands-on videos.
Any advices or opinions that could help me make the decision ?
EDIT: Oh and btw I will get the keyboard folio aswell
EDIT2: Probably this is in the wrong subforum, if that is the case, just move it, ty
First, I ordered the white one, but then Artem from AndroidPolice told me about his negative experiences with the white N7 and N5, so I decided to cancel the white one and ordered the black, even if I like the look of the white one a little bit more.
Gesendet von meinem Nexus 4 mit Tapatalk
Thx for your opinion
Could you elaborate a bit more what Artem told you about the white version?
I myself - as mentioned above - experienced some problems with the backcover as it changed its color at some spots (maybe my jeans?) and the logo is partly peeled off. Which is why I ordered a replacement backcover.
My choice has always been SAND, sadly I had to settle with white because I'm not willing to wait in lingering agony until they decide to have the Sand option available for shipping.
I ordered white. My galaxy tab pro LIVES in a folio case, which i figure will be the case with this one. Hopefully that will keep it primo for a good long while.
Sent from my LG-D800 using Tapatalk
I want sand, but who knows when that will be available, and I'm not keen on waiting since I'm still bumbling around on a 2012 N7.
I like the sand and plan on waiting to purchase so later release isn't a problem. My five other nexus devices have been 16 GB which has never been an issue so I'm not sure about needing 32gb. It occurred to me that I always keep my tablets in a case so what difference does it make to me what color it is. They're all black on the front.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk
Initially I wanted the Sand version, I wrote to HTC here in Denmark, and they said that it might not be available here at all.
So then I ordered the White through HTC, but after a lot of writting back and forth they finally admitted that they were gonna ship the tablet a month later than Google Play.
So I canceled the order and ordered it from Google Play, which only had the black version.. So, guess I'm getting it in black

Don't worry me I always keep my gadgets clean. Like to look after my gear.
Well yeah...I'm also curious in what way the material of the black and the brighter colors will differ...
Read an article some hours ago that was some kind of guide concerning the color question on the Nexus 5.
I'd say the safest one would be black but that's a bit too casual for my likings
And that keyboard folio should protect my tablet enough not to get dirty.
Right now I tend towards ordering a white one but those choices are killing me :crying:
I want to see how the Sand one looks like up front but it won't be available on launch, there's no time frame on it as well . So will be buying the White version. Black looks standard, doesn't have that fresh new appeal to it.
Well, I'm thinking that, if I really wanna get it in an other color, I should be able to buy a replacement back cover in eg. sand, and then I don't have to wait for sand to be released. Instead I can enjoy my Nexus 9 earlier and don't have to care about banging up the back cover

I just preordered the white 32gb version from amazon, should be getting it november 4th thanks to prime. black seems a little bit less premium/spectacular (IMHO!) and prone to fingerprints whereas sand is not available.
I think you can't go wrong with any color though, can't wait to get my hands on the device :victory:
I've gone with black as it hides a multitude of stains. I work on my car a lot and also like to cook which means I often have some sort of oil on my hands.
So I got my phone today and low and behold I have some serious (at least to me) blemishes and scratches on the back. Some pics below. I know they may not seem too bad but come on, this is a brand new phone, and unexceptable if you ask me. So I actually go to my nearby ATT store to see if they have stock already so they can swap it out and they don't have any yet. You could see it in the eyes of the workers that they hadn't seen one yet. Borderline oogling over it.
Anyways, they say call ATT and they'll send me another. I call and low and behold they CAN send me a replacement (not overnight mind you, I'd have to pay for that), but as I had to remind them, there is a backorder for it so they couldn't tell me when I'd get it. All this time I wouldn't be able to activate the phone. I say screw it, I'll keep it but you gotta give me something here. All they can do open a customer credit report and see if it goes through. Suffice it to say.....I'm pissed.

Yeah this is a total case of WTF. Must have happened in the flashing process when they added all their carrier crap.
Wow. Was it shipped in bag full of rocks?
Thats how mine is from GPlay! Not as bad as yours but the same type of marks.... Seems like it was slid around and there was a bunch of dust/debris in the box on the phone.. I called them up right after I saw and they were gonna set me up with a new replacement but there is a problem with there system with that apparently...:roll eyes: So I have to wait for them to fix that then get in contact with me to set up the replacement... Im using this one in a case in the mean time but it definitely shouldn't fly to get one that looks this way!
Looks like someone was skate boarding on it before shipping. Lol I would return it. There is no fu#king way I pay over $700 for a screwed up phone.

Motorola QC issue.
I was at my tmobile store when they unboxed their demo unit and it had the same nonsense. We considered that maybe they just purposely sent the ****ty ones to stores for demo purposes. Hope this is not a widespread issue

They would have touched it last when flashing their splash screenand doing the logo on the back. But a previous commenter said his gplay device was the same. I would look at how the phone fits in the retail packaging. Does it have room to move around at all, is what i would be looking at.

I think it has some room to move because there doesn't seem to be anything keeping it in place or anything protective it has to sit on. Its just sitting on indent of the phone with the documentation. I think it happened during shipping possibly especially if it was man handled it could bounce around and scuff up but idk? i don't see how sliding on cardboard could cause marks like that.
Im also still waiting on Gplay to reply and fix there system to get me a new replacement...
Did you have any issues getting AT&T to initiate the return? This is ridiculous, mine has this too.

AT&T wouldn't have done it themselves, just semantically speaking.
They would have made a deal with the OEM (Motorola) to make the modifications on their behalf before packaging.
Not defending AT&T or anything, of course.
Says available 3-18-15.
I was actually in Verizon today and they are ordering mine tomorrow. Gonna be glad to get rid of this lock up Note 3 and into a unlocked device. Well, unlockable at least.

Just ordered one. Be interesting if its really black.

I kinda hope it is black because I did not like the blue one. I did chat with a rep online and they said it would be black. I love the black frame. Looks awesome!
I've taken a liking to white over the years due to fingerprints but the black is better than the midnight blue. Just wish they'd kept the VZ logo off

Well the pics (drawings) on the Verizon site do look black, however, the video which shows the device complete with Verizon tramp stamp is most definitely midnight blue. I hope it's black, but knowing VZW there probably just stupid or f'ing with us, probably both.
VZW tramp stamp and only 32GB . I snub the Verizon Nexus!
Ordered!
Just ordered the Verizon Nexus 6. Says it will ship 3/18.
With priority overnight shipping, expected 3/19. One week from today.
Looking forward to it!
I think this is the midnight blue N6, just like the leaked screen shots on Phandroid indicated. The face is black, that is why Verizon is calling it black.

By that logic the white one is black as well. Lol. ☺
Verizon is calling it black because they didn't bother to do the research.

I agree, but I don't think there is a special black N6 for Verizon when the internal documents call it midnight blue and if you look at the video on Verizon's site, you can see the blue in the metal frame.
All the pictures posted on their website show a distinct black along with the VZ logo. The video was put together some time ago and for a short while was in the wild before they clamped it down. I'd say they changed to the distinctive color and was using available promo shots occasionally that were blue. It's not unheard of for vendors to provide unique color combos for the big carriers.
What's up with the 32gb only...pisses me off. Since I'm having terrible luck ordering from Moto I was glad to see it finally going to be in a store near me...I'd say if it is black, it would be sweet...little Slick Wraps black carbon to cover the tramp stamp and I'd be set...but 32gb might be a deal breaker.

Good point. While I doubt Verizon cares enough about this phone to offer a special color, it would be a smart move on their part, makes it more attractive to fickle consumers on the fence about a phone that is arriving way late to the party. Plus I would like it!
It looks black with a Charcoal Gray frame in the Verizon renders.

If you dont like the logo get a skinwrap. Will cover that right up
Well I'm glad to see that the actual pricing for edge did nto match up to the leaks, which would have us all paying the total cost of a 64Gb model when getting the 32 ...
32 is not a deal breaker for me (but heck yeah, it would have been sweet to get the 64, GPM, files on drive and other cloud storage, and on my GNex for the last 3 years I've only used about half of that 32 available.
If actually black, that would make up for the wait, hopefully whether or not the color, the logo can be rubbed of aka ATT''s ...
