So I've been checking Moto X page everyday for the last week hoping the T-mobile version would be available. And today they say all models are on sale and I get to buy my new phone. Only to be taken to the next page to find "out of stock"!:crying:
What a tease!
Just tried it and the woven black is in stock. Thinking about buying it.

I can't decide if I want to wait for the white one to show up, or the black model... Total first world problems.
Has anyone held the two next to one another and have a strong opinion in one way or the other? Will the white back really pick up dirt with the woven design?

I want to buy one so bad but $600 gives me pause. Will wait for a price drop.
The front of the white one has a off white look to it, it doesn't have the same white as the back battery cover. If you can deal w/ that wait for that one.
I don't see the option to buy a 32gb.
That's good to know. Looks like I'll be buying the black one and picking up a red cf skin from dbrand when they open up orders!
Isn't the black color back a soft matte type paint, and the white back is more of a hard plastic feel? I know the white is hard feeling, more slippery, but I haven't held a black one.however the ATT sales rep had a custom motomaker blue one and the back was rubber feeling, soft paint matte feel. I want black soft matte, no white for sure.

Can anyone, please, confirm that white Trinitys are not peeling... I would like to buy the original white housing and it's not that cheap just to find out that it peels as well.
Thank you!
I have a white Trinity for about one year and no peeling.
Thanks again! That's what I needed to hear.
Also one year no peeling with WHITE.
I have black for 3 months....and no peeling
The FD do you keep it in a case all the time, or one of the silicon type cases ( goes around the phone to protect corners and edges ) ?
No I carry it around in my trouser pocket all the time. Everywhere I go it goes. I do look after it, I never have anything else in the pocket. No keys or coins. But never in a case.
It shows no sign of the paint peeling. 3 of us at work got the same phone all black and none of them show any sign of peeling.
White trinity here, for about five months and no peeling at all, no scratch either (the white material don't scratch).
No peels, no scratches, on white ones? How come they insist on selling only black ones (HTC branded) in Europe? I really take care of mine but that is of no influence - it peels terribly. Now it looks like it got some skin disease or something. I've never seen such a problem on any other non-Trinity device ever.

Maybe because European sales executives think it fits more the local taste. Especially for male users or professionals.
But it's a matter of fact: the white one is like the plastic itself is just a kind of varnished white material, while the black one is like a thin lay of black paint pasted on top of another material. Therefore there is no way to scratch or peel the whites, while the blacks are so fragiles.
Those sales executives suck. They've never heard that, for example, Nokia makes a fortune on exchangeable covers...

Had a black one: peeling after 3 month. Had a second black one: peeling after 3 month.
Have a white one now for more than 3 month (which I bought from a guy in switzerland, not really europe in terms of political matters but geographically it's definitly europe... )
no peeling at all, no fingerprints, no (visible) scratches.
Get a white one if you can.
if somebody is interested in buying a used white one please pm.
White is perfect
Just switched to white. Perfect housing !
Go for it !

Sure is, you can buy spare parts from here:
http://cnn.cn/shop/p3600-trinity-c-277_278.html
BTW, the white case I have (From Orange UK) is actually a white plastic inner case covered with a clear plastic case, so it's not painted and therefore won't ever 'peel'

at this shop is not original htc p 3600 white cover, i got one white with htc logo, is good but not original, i need original
I bought the original one, but Dopod branded (I found it on eBay). Unfortunately, the link is not available anymore...
What option will you buy or prefer?
Im torn between em but I have placed a pre-order for a Steel Silver.
Pls submit your pros and cons about the color options.
Silver seem more less likely to show grease and fingerprints and it is S.E.X.1

I like phones in black, it just looks better to me.
I loved the black one until I saw the silver keyboard, so I went for the silver one until I saw the black front buttons.
Now I don't know which one I shall pick

Lol! kind of same as me...
Steel Silver.. but...
Few months ago I prefered Solid Black version. But now I'm falling in love with Steel Silver!!! Every day more and more!!!
... but shops in CZ booking in advance only black version and I'm affraid there will be no silver version at the moment of Xperia launch ... but I won't wait for silver one! I must have the XPERIA ASAP!!!
PS: Is there anyone who knows something about Steel Silver? There is no Steel Silver XPERIA in tech. specs. on most SE websites...
Will definitely go for the silver. I do not really like the colour black. And I actually when and g-mask my hermes(dopod838 pro) white.
Would love it if there's a white xperia, that would be even more SEX1.
im pretty sure we could replace the keyboard in the future.
im looking forward to replace the silver keyboard with black one.
The black version looks great, but the silver keyboard ruined it indeed.
I am almost certain I am going to purchase this phone, through Sony Style USA when I visit Las Vegas on the 18th of December (through to the 22nd)...Now I know Sony Style USA only sells the Silver one now (so far) and I believe BB has the Black one or something like that, but I wanted your opinion about which one do you think is better.
IMO they both have their pros and cons, but I want to hear more opinions if you dont mind
I was all set to purchase this in black since i first saw the phone on the internet but when it finally released in the UK and I saw it in front of me the Silver one just looked so nice I just had to go for that one..
hahaha great! Nearly 50/50 now lol
i got the black one but am regretting it.. i love the steel finishing but the back just peeled just a tiny bit.. not alot, but enough to make me peeved..
am sure with silver it wont be that obvious but both are cool!
I am a sony fan.. saving up for the Silver one for xmas! ;-)
silver for me, as i current K800i was black and now it got few scratches on the body that are visible, silver will be less visible, imho
having both black & silver metal phones in the past, i now prefer silver phones as scratches will not be as obvious.
if its made of plastic then it wouldn't matter as the underlying plastic is probably still black.
I got the silver X1. Looks more sophisticated, refined, industrial and sleek. Not so noticeable fingerprint smudges except for the polished chrome bevel, which the black shares. Most international markets will sell the black one, so I think the silver one could be more "limited".

When you see photographs of the 2 colours side by side, the black looks better. I was hoping to get a black one, but could only source a silver one which was a disappointment until I saw it in the flesh!
Now I can confirm the silver one definitely looks more expensive, professional and is more fingerprint friendly.
i really look forward to seeing a functioning X1a in the Sony Store in Las Vegas when I go in December. Although they are selling the silver one, and I prefer the black one, i think I may be pleasantly surprised
for me, when the keyboard is closed its silver, but with the keyboard open its the black one because it looks like 2 different colors instead of just silver. and in the dark the black color looks better as well and the l.e.d lights look better against the black background as well.
black, as silver with black buttons on the front is ugly imho. And silver keyboard and shining border doesn'look bad on black
well i was all set for the black one but when i saw it in the shop i thought it looked shiny and plastic-y and then when i saw the keyboard i thought it looked odd together. so ive pre-ordered a silver one although i havent seen one in person...i think its gonna be even nicer than the live photos
Is their much of a difference, I an its just the back thats white not even the whole thing. I dont get why they would do that instead of going full white, what do you guys think about it.
Trade ya for my black one...
White back is pointless. Especially since I throw a case on mine.
Sent from your moms house
The white back doesn't have the grippiness that the black back has. It just feels like slick plastic. Also, it turns out that black plastic is stronger than white plastic.
Just throw a case on it...problem solved
I actually bought a white evo from best buy but then put a black battery cover on it because I like the grippy-ness of it. Looks nice. There's a white outline, looks kinda like a zebra. I like it.
The only thing I don't like about the white one is that freaking glossy back. It makes it feel like I am always going to drop the phone! I wish they would have stuck with the material they used on the black, rubbery I believe?
Doesn't really matter as I am using a case now lol.

Well I use the white hard shell from PawAvenue on ebay on my White Evo. It looks quite nice with white back and black front.
I am totally torn I want a white front but I'm not sure if I want the bamboo back for the white chalk back any thoughts with silver trim...

I'm torn between chalk back with dark gray trim or slate with silver trim.. Only thing I know for sure is I will not be getting the white front.. All the sensors stick out like crazy
Oh wow I never thought of that. Does it light up your room at night?

Lol I just meant the 4 sensors for moto display in every corner..I just prefer black on the moto front panel.. Little cleaner look I think
I went black with the football leather back and its SICK!!
I'm still thinking if I should go all black with leather back. Can someone give me some impressions on how it feels and looks?
I had a black/bamboo that I returned. I liked it a lot, the wood felt great although it did "crackle" in places when pushed (from the adhesive). However this time I ordered with the cyber monday deal I went white/chalk/light silver.

I don' t think white looks very good with the moto x, the sensors stick out too much, besides that a black cover with an amoled screen can create an ilusion of a bezelless phone, which imho can look pretty cool
Between aluminum, graphite and frost. Which color do you like best?
It seems frost is 64gb+ only. Most look like they are going with graphite and aluminum. I think I will go with frost since it will probably be the least common.
Graphite, hides the camera strip might have gone white otherwise.
Graphite, for the same reason above.
I chose the Graphite version as well but after seeing some hands on photos, I'm not so sure anymore...

Got the graphite to hide the camera strip. I'm liking the aluminum though.
Aluminium all the way, Yeah it's a different looking phone but I say OWN IT! EMBRACE THE BENDER WITHIN!

Yup..aluminum too here

I went with the graphite too. It hides that camera strip and I've had too many white phones.

Anyone know why the 6P frost doesn't come in 32GB like the graphite and aluminum?
Also after seeing the hands on photos and videos....the 6P colors look like a bad metallic paint job as opposed to a smooth satiny finish.....with the exception of the frost white. For that reason alone i may get the frost.....they all look better on the google store.
Idunno...maybe I have to see them in person first. If anyone get it and lives in philly....I'll take you out for drinks just to see the phone in person
Went with Aluminum because I figured I'll have a case anyways and it will hide the strip. I don't hate the strip, but I wished they colored it similar color as the body. If they did, it would look the same way it looks on Graphite.
Aluminium! Wanted some to different from my past black devices. It should stand out in a crowd....
I preordered the graphite, but after seeing the videos, I may change to the aluminum. I like the silvery shimmer. Makes it look a little more premium to me.

I'd have to agree with this.
They all look good though IMO. I just liked Graphite a tad bit more.
I still can't decide. I've got an order for the graphite and frost (incase they sold out although they're still available in the uk) but after seeing more hands on pictures I'm starting to like the aluminium.
They just all look good in their own way. Normally picking a color isn't difficult for me as there is ALWAYS a stand out color. But there isn't on the 6P, they all look awesome.
I went with aluminum although I really like graphite I am always worried about the finish on metal devices scratching off. I also feel the the aluminium really shows off the device better.

Well I broke down, and went with the Frost instead. I just like how it shows off the metal trim. At least the front is black, I'm just not of fan of the white fronts on white phones.

I ordered aluminum...seemed cool looking. If I don't like it...ebay here it comes.
I went with aluminum because I had too many phones that were dark. As far as the camera strip, I'll see how it is in person.
If anything, I'll just get a dbrand and cover up the camera strip with a white skin or something of that sort.

Oh man, I was thinking graphite at first, and am now torn between aluminum and frost after seeing some hands on videos. I wish there were some hands on for the other colors.

Stick with your initial choice. I went with graphite, then frost, now back to graphite again. Hopefully my mind doesn't change tomorrow. It's hard to choose when all videos and pics show off the silver and white models, I can't get a good look at the graphite.
