I can't decide really, the white one looks beautiful but i had a white galaxy s ii, and it ruins the continuity of the screen, makes the bezel on the front stand out and therefore it looks bigger , the gun metal grey version is nice, but it's nothing spectacular, which version will you choose?
definitely the gray...i don't want spuds asking me if it's an ipoop
Gray for me also
hehe .... just evened out the poll ... grey for me too
EDIT: just looked at the white again and now i cant decide i guess ill make the choice on the spot ... depends on how they look up live
i still can't decide
Going white. Grey looks too.... plain.
If im going to have it for a while it must be pleasing to my eye, I care not if people think its a iphone.
I will take the White:
-To change from N1,DHD and Sensation I had (and have)
-Because it looks smaller
-Because I like futuristic star wars black and white design
well i actually am still in a state where i can't decide
however i wonder if the white one is very infective?
maybe not the right chose of words, but i mean if the white will get dirty is it easy to clean or will it lose it's whiteness over time?
and before you are going to ask me weird stuff... i hobby allot with cars and in the garden and stuff.. >.<
Every single phone that I've ever owned has been a black or grey phone. This time, i'm getting a white phone. White One X for me.

Same here. White it is!
When I first saw the images from MWC I said grey.
Once I'd seen some high res shots of the two I quickly changed my mind.
I think the white shows off the design more and I think its a design that deserves showing off.
The only downside to the white one is that I don't like the silver lens surround.
Well we still need to see the final grey version, many bloggers pointed out the one from MWC is not final and the Vodafone video shows a different finish
I dont know why i obsses about it so much if it would end up being on a case, yes polycarbonate may be highly durable but there's no lens cover for the camera so it's vulnerable to scratches

where did u see no lens cover? its definitely recessed behind the silver ring its pretty well protected
the Desire HD is similar to this and its a very good solution

Maybe it's a little recessed, im not convinced, i own an inspire 4g and my camera lens has two scratches
Now this is a real camera lens cover
I can't decide either. I love the white from the front and sides, but I prefer the back on the black/grey.
I think I'd go for white out the two but I don't think I'll get the choice anyway as I'm with T-Mobile (UK) and supposedly Vodafone are getting an exclusive on the white version, other networks getting grey
I just ordered one from 3 in sweden but didn't specify the color so it will be a surprise!

+1 agreed - will give a changed look

Easy question. I'm going to buy this device very soon and I'm torn between the two. In one hand the white looks so 'in your face' and sexy, but i'm afraid it will get dirty extremely easily. On the other hand, the black is sleek and classy but honestly I like the white better; however, I'm afraid it will get dirty very fast and look bad.
What does XDA think? Which is your favorite color?
I think white bezels distract too much from the screen even though the white hox looks prettier, grey is more functional.
Grey because white will show marks more over time, also white makes it look to iphoney.
I have a white, had it for over a month and it's no dirty. Granted, I haven't been doing any dirty work.
Also, the bezel is pretty small, especially at the sides, you don't notice it, it's lively screen.
And my white one could hardly be mistaken for an iPhone!
Never seen a grey one, apparently the back goes shiny with wear.
White definitely looks better to me but I got myself the gray one because of the earlier mentioned worry that it probably will get dirty and white plastic tends to bleach (is this the right word?) and turn yellow over time and this might affect the future resell value (+ it looks really ugly). Also the gray one looks a bit more professional.
I have the white one, wish I'd bought grey

At first I definitely wanted the white one, but after a while I started to doubt and nearly changed my order to the Grey one. I had not yet seen either devices in real life, though I think I got a peek from the Grey device during class. It looked absolutely terrible imo.
When the white one arrived I was so happy I didn't change my order. Still am .
White would look really nice if the screen bezel was white. However with the black bezel its fugly!
I got grey. The white looks awesome but didn't want to deal with it getting dirty

I got a grey one because it looks classy and there is a sort of harmony between the screen and the color ( and i heard the white one get scratched more easily )
Grey will make it look bigger.
The white one will give the illusion that its smaller, you'll be looking at the screen only at first glance.

No..its the grey one that scratches more easily....
Let's make this clear, the white one does not get dirty, any marks I've got on it have rubbed straight off. Some grey ones have a problem with an oily shiny look when in contact with something for a while, infact its probably just the polycarbonate, the white one probably gets it too but because its white its much less noticeable. I don't understand what people mean by it looks smaller, but it Deffo looks better then the grey

I have a Nokia C5 its back side is of Grey colour look so shiny and attractive, you are right white colour can be easily dirty and if you got scratches or anything on your phone hope not, they will look so visible. But doesnt matter if you take care of your phone, If your mind says White then go for White.
White is definitely sexier. (Imo, the grey version is ugly as hell)

The grey one goes shiny if you scratch it or rub at it and it doesn't come off like finger oil/grease. The white one doesn't show these marks as easily. Honestly, if its durability from scratches, the white one is the better choice. Nobody knows how the white one discolours over months yet....that remains to be seen.
white only because when you look from the screen side it looks better, and i prefer the silver ring and not the brown (?) ring.
Grey all day...
White phones are for girls as good ol Jobsy said.

White is more premium
Last night I was laying on my bed watching a movie on my phone. I notice somthing is wrong with my screen, when there's no light in the room and my phone is on a black screen. I have something wrong with my black color on the bottom of the screen, its really hard to describe but if you look at it, it looks not normal. But when im not on a black screen the screen looks 100% normal you cant even tell there is an issue with my screen. I was wondering if other people are getting this issue. Just go to a room that's really dark, put your phone with a black wallpaper and look at the screen you might have to turn up brightness to see it.

OOOOOOO wow... thats lame but I feel alot better that you said that. thanks for letting me know.
mine has it too its normal
In very dark conditions, all these screens seems to have a noticeable glow on black, and lines, dots, and/or spots that are darker (like ink marks). I got mine replaced twice and settled on the third with only a single small spot on the right middle of the screen.

Yea, i have it too. never really thought anything of it... kinda figured it probably was just something to do with amoled screens. Not like i'm frequently looking at a black screen anyway... and it's only really noticable in the dark.
they look like black blotches of paint or something right?
My Infuse and SGS2 both have them is thats what you are referring too. if you load a brown image like XDA brown far more noticeable.
that is how i noticed them on other two devices.
Maybe I'm just lucky. But I don't have those blotches on my s3. Did have them on my atrix 4G though. And this sgs2 I was borrowing from a friend. Only had my gs3 since yesterday though. Maybe age matters?

What's funny is. On my Atrix they were visible even with "color" showing. Faint. But visible. Very noticeable on black screens though. Gs2 wasn't too bad. But this gs3 shows none whatsoever.

Yesterday I purchased the i317 marble white. So far the only flaws are the light bleeds through at night with the menu and back buttons, also the white just looks too flashy and the grey looks like it would be something more for me.
Before I return it is there really any reason to stick with the white?
I did not go with white for 2 reasons:
1. the phone is big enough and I didn't want to attract more attention to it.
2. my case would cover up the white anyways, so I went with gray so it doesn't look that crazy in a black case.
is pebble white different than marble white? i have sprint and it is marble.

Questions go in Q & A, and this is the SPRINT forums........
Moved to ATT Q and A
The warranty returns (defective devices only) are for same color only. To swap colors they will probably go through a return and re-buy kind of thing. There may be a $35 restock fee. Best thing would be to go in store and hope for a nice store manager.

I had the gray and switched to the white. My notification led was a little whacky on both grays that I had (while charging), as in the light was really dim and normal at other times. Switched to the white and all is good. Plus, I like the gorgeous display being bordered with white better. Felt like the gray took away from the screen. Btw, doesnt matter what color you buy this phone in, itll be big and attract attention regardless. Good luck!

I had the white on my OG note and Note 2. Thought the white look better on my original note but still looks great on note 2.

I personally love the way white looks. But I did not get it.
The two main reasons I did not get white and went with gray were:
-phone is big and white was a little flashy
-I am a guy and on my last white phone it was really hard to find a colored case that didn't look really feminine IMO. Example: red, lots of times the white kind of bleeds through and give it a pinkish look, but with the grey there are not such problems and I can have different color cases
Just my dumb opinion, but your preference will vary.
I had the original Note in ceramic white. Loved it and thought it looked worlds better than the black Note. Unfortunately, I couldn't say the same for the Note II. The positions were reversed: the ceramic white looks tacky, cheap, plasticy, and not so good. The titanium gray, however, has this really professional, sophisticated, sexy, premium look to it. I really don't regret my decision to go with titanium gray. At any rate, I don't think you could go wrong with either. I suppose I could get used to the marble white and learn to love it, but not as much as the gray model.
My white s3 kept getting dirty and the smudges were very visable. Just annoyed me badly. Yeah it also looked veey very cheap. Way to glossy.

Have both white and gray. Gray for sure. The light bleed on the LED/capacitive buttons is annoying as hell.

Traded my grey for white and im happy with it. Goes better with themes in my opinion.
For the size of note 2 i think it looks better in titanium. I originaly wanted white because i had and loved the white s3, it looked cute in gray case lol. The chrome on the white note 2 looks cheap on it. Chrome is sooo early 2000 imo lol.

I got the white Note 2 because every phone on the market is a dark color. It gets old after a while, and I am really glad I got white because of the notification LED. When in a dark room and I get texts or emails the LED will be a solid blue (sometimes flashes blue) and lights up the entire bezel of the device from top to home button. I think it's really neat looking. Same thing for when the phone is charging or is fully charged. I know it's a weird thing to like but I enjoy it

Could it be from the ambient light sensor controlling it? When in dark places the LED is dim, in bright places is brighter. This is on purpose, a feature, not a bug.

After a few days of use I'm realizing that, for example, in mostly white screens, it looks a little pink towards the right side (landscape), this is EXTREMELY subtle but I can really notice it in a full white screen, it's still white but with a very, VERY subtle pink tone to it, I wonder if it's a common thing....
I'm very picky, don't know if normal people would realize that (in case they have the same issue...)
It's almost half screen.... Anyone?

I'm not seeing this on my screen, but maybe my eyesight wasn't what it used to be. Try taking a screen shot and transferring it to your computer and check if the pink tone is visible from there. If not then it's probably faulty hardware.
It looks fine to me.
Since I bought it at Best Buy I returned it and got a new one, the girl gave me a little bit of a hard time because she couldn't see anything wrong with the screen... I told her it took me 2-3 days to realize there was this light pink tone towards one side and it was only visible with white backgrounds.... So at the end I was able to return it, I'm glad I did because I was getting very uncomfortable with this.... Btw, there's a very good app to test the colors on the screen, it's called Display Tester (by gombosdev).. Really nice.

I don't remember were I read that if you turn on "reading mode" will give a pink tinge to screen. I think is mentioned on the manual but not sure.
Reading mode gives a nice creamy/yellow tone throughout the whole screen (obviously) only on user selected apps.
