Exchange black one for white? - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

Would sprint let me do this? I got the phone back in November, so way past 30 days. just wondering if anyone has tried this. The white one looks so sick!

i highly doubt it. You would be better trading on craigslist or something

^ yeah I thought of that. Even looked on ebay but white ones are selling for way higher then the black ones !

not a chance in the world they would do this...silly to even ask something like that..

Maybe for a warrenty exchange if they like you

I don't think "broken color" comes under warranty exchange..

If you have asurion you could "lose" your phone.

wouldn't they just replace it with the exact same model?
BTW, I talked my wife into taking my black one over the weekend, and grabbed a white one with her upgrade....they are really sharp!!

I still don't understand all of the white hype. I think the black looks cleaner, sexier... The white one looks "toyish" to me. I wonder if its just because they are a newer model that people are more drawn to them?

the aluminum trim around the outside of the case gives it a really nice contrast; plus, I put a Wrapsol on the phone, and, the capactive lights on the bottom, and the notification light on the top, have a really nice erie "glow" to them now..
I had a white Evo as well; I guess I just like to have something a bit different..
to each his own!

Yeah, I guess your right... I'll have to admit, before I saw the light I used to have a white iphone, I liked it at the time. Maybe that is why I dislike the white now, maybe the white for me has some kind of subconscious apple/iphone association thing.

plus, in my house, my wife has the same phone, so it makes it easier if we have different colors to keep track of who's phone is where!
Frankly, if they had a blue or red one, I would probably like those too!

Blue and Red... Now there's an idea

I was looking at the Galaxy note this weekend, and they have a blue one which looked really nice!

I had to bring my phone in for warranty reasons and asked since they have to give me a new one could it be the white one they said absolutely not has to be the same color. Got me mad too considering they are both the same damn thing same price and everything. So to answer your question, no they will not.

I just think it looks slicker but maybe its more of what I don't have. Just looks sick!! I don't have insurance tho oh well.

Thanks pocketnow for the picture
It's hideous IMO....my 15 & 13 year old daughters would love it.
I don't see why they don't release these phones in multiple colors from the get go. Maybe blue, green, red, white, and black. Or something along those lines.
Thanks for the update. My wife was waiting for this in order to switch her white evo. She will be glad to hear the good news.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Is it just a white paint job or did they change some of the hardware? I actually don't mind different colors and white is the new black right? Anyways, I would rather have a white TPU case then this, but the wife's evo is due for an upgrade in a couple of months.
Looks pretty good, I still prefer black because of the low profile. Black hides dirt, white hides scratches

Right?! I seriously think they do it in hopes of people who already bought a black one will jus" t "fall in love" and outright just buy it.
It would be smarter and they would appeal to people who, for example, "need a white device" if they would release all colors on the same day. But, since theyre greedy and only care about money, people who were considering this phone but found out it was only in black bought another phone to their liking - does Samsung really think people will ditch their phone and jump on this one? Nope. Too late. They already used theyre upgrade, and if anything, now they dislike Samsung for doing this type of thing to them.
In other words, greed is the worst thing in this world.

I think it looks slick..i really like it. I'm wondering though, the battery cover looks glossy now...need some texture, IMO, otherwise it'll be too slippery lol.
And before anyone says it...yes, that is what she said.

Nice to finally see the Sprint pics for it. That January 8th date is looking more likely all the time per this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1373771&highlight=white
Hopefully a nice stable fully functional build of CM7 will be done around the time this hits retail shelves.

Actually white hides both better. when I had my E4GT in black and a case, I was constantly taking the phone out of the case to clean the edges where the phone meets the case. With my white skyrocket, I don't find myself doing that at all. I'm a real neat freak when it comes to phones, too.
Also, if the phone is anything like the skyrocket, you guys need to see the phone in person to appreciate the way it looks / color. I didnt like the white skyrocket, but when I had it in my hand and looked at it, it looked awesome.
I've had more then a couple people comment on how nice the phone is, and for someone to go out of their way and say that about a phone is pretty rare.
Just my .02.
EDIT: Also, I can't tell if this one has it, but my phone has a chrome rim which looks really nice. and the keys light up wayyyyy brighter then the black version and bleed through the white, which makes it look stellar at night. It;s also not white, it's a sort of pearl white. Again, you should probably look at it in person before you pass judgment.
I would have to see it in person. I gave my black Evo to the wifey when the white one came out but I doubt I do the same with the ET4G.
Only other color this phone would look good in is a Silver or metallic or better yet that charcoal Grey that's on BMW's
I would trade my black one in a heart beat! That's a slick looking phone!
Looks real clean. Is January 8th the confirmed date? I think I'll use my premiere upgrade close to the end of the month and if it releases on time I can trade it for the white

Galaxy Nexus White Housing

Hey guys, has anyone seen white housing OEM parts floating around the web for purchase? Its extremely easy to pop the titanium housing off, and I, personally would love to have the ability to change the two out whenever I'd like. The titanium housing is easy to find which is a plus, but I'd still like white just for kicks.
Thanks guys.

I've only seen the white OEM battery backdoor but I'd imagine the casing will start to go around soon. The best part about this, after all, is the face-plate of the white phone is left as black.
I've been scouring eBay for this, nothing yet!
Can't wait to turn my nexus white, and cover my extended battery cover in white carbon vinyl wrap, should look amazing!
I've been looking for this too. Hopefully it won't be too long from now. I'm sure they know that some of the users may need the white housing,
this is one of the rare cases where the original color of the phone looks 10 time better than the white one... im just saying... i love the titanium.... the white just doesnt sit right with me... plus it isnt going to get its updates directly from google... is u have the gsm titanium one... id say stick with it... just saying

We're just looking to swap the housing over, so we will still have the titanium one, just in a fancy new suit
I'm torn between the two colours, and really just want some variation!
Ugh I want a white one too. And with only the white door available for sale on Ebay its like the people are taunting and teasing us about not being able to have it.

If he's selling the titanium ones though it's a question of time the white housing arrives to eBay.

AT&T Cyan Gel Case

Has anyone been able to get their hands on one of these yet? I went into the store and they said they have never had them:

I've been to a few AT&T stores and they don't have it in stock. I checked out the Microsoft Stores and they have the Incipio brand (instead of the Nokia brand) for the same $20 price. They only have black and pink right now too. They did say they plan on getting a large assortment of accessories in the next few weeks - not just black, cyan and pink. So I guess I'll wait to see what goodies come down the pipe.
good to know, i guess i'll be stopping my the msft store in a couple weeks to see if there is anything that strikes me

I did see those Incipio cases you're talking about. However, by the looks of it, they are considerably thicker than the TPU GEL ones sold at AT&T.
They also seem to be made out of silicone. Which means its a dust magnet and its harder to slide in and out of your pocket.
TPU is soooooo much better IMO...
Maybe I should mention that I saw all these cases on the 7th, so one day before official launch. So I don't know if those are all sold out, since I've heard that the phone itself had a higher demand than expected.

I want a Red/Scarlet Nokia cover. When I hand my NL900 to friends to check out they cant even tell I have a cover on it. Even with the cover on it it fits into my Golla phone wallet.
BTW, I recommend the Golla wallets if you can find them in the bigger sizes. My Focus is 1.5 years old and flawless, via the Golla phone wallet.

I got the black one for my black Lumia. I like how just by switching the case you can kind of achieve having either color phone. One thing I did notice about the cyan one was the it seems to be a little brighter than the cyan on the actual phone.

Has anyone been able to get the AT&T Cyan Gel Case? I looked in store and they don't have it and I placed an order in-store for AT&T to ship it to me directly but it still hasn't shipped (placed my order more than a week ago). What gives? I really need some protection on my phone. Sigh.
I have one of these cyan cases on my phone, it is pretty nice, our nokia rep gave it to me.
It is true, the stores, for the most part, only stock the black and pink full case. The cyan needs to be ordered. They also stock a cyan and lime green bumper.

Ooops, sorry didn't pay attention to the release date. I want to get one. I was going to buy a Cyan one but then thought what's the point because it's just gonna have a case on it so I won't be able to enjoy the color. Then I seen the OEM cyan. I don't want a 3rd party case as I'm concern it won't fit the contour as good as the OEM cases.
Mine just arrived from expansys yesterday. It shipped earlier than what they said it would. Just go and place an order, you may just get it.
By the way, I like it a lot. I can switch from black to blue at will now.

Which color are you choosing?

I'm wondering which color to get, I'm liking the light blue one. what are all of you getting/pre-ordered?
Ice Blue mainly cause it's unique. Black and white are too common.
Sent from my Sprint Galaxy S5.
I chose the carbon because i wanted to do something different than what i usually did. Its my first dark colored phone in a long time.
The blue looks unique. Hoping it's the same soft touch grippy material like the N5. It seems, typically with cases and phones, that only black offers the soft touch/feel

Pretty sure all three colors have the soft touch coating. I've watched probably the first 10 YouTube videos you get when searching Nexus 5X and all those hands on never mentioned any of the colors being glossy.

I hope so, although not a deal breaker for me. I never held a white or red N5 but heard they were not of the same soft touch grippy material on the black which I still have.
The spigen and ringke slim cases were the same way. All their colors except black were not the soft touch. Their black cases are. I have a few N5, GS6, & N6 cases in both spigen and ringke different colors and this is the case.

Black is soft touch. White and Ice is more plastic, like the white n5. My source is a user on reddit who felt the dummy phones in Japan that was on display. It's possibly accurate
I got black in case it's the only one with the "true" soft touch coating as LG and Google did with the Nexus 5. However in Anandtech's Hands On they said that white and black had the same material, which is bare polycarbonate and no soft touch unfortunately. They did not get hands on with the Ice blue but I imagine it's the same.
So they should all look and feel similar to the Nexus 5 white and red, which means less grip but also less finger prints.
Also black seems to have the shorter shipping times in my region, looks like more people are going with white and the new blue option compared with 2 years ago.

I talked to a Google rep, and he said the material for all colors is the same, so thats a pretty good sign that they all have the same finishing touch
I originally ordered the white but cancelled and switched to the blue after seeing more pictures and videos of both. The white one just looks cheaper to me. It's not that the blue looks more lux but the color at least gives it some character to help offset the plastic build.
I just went with Carbon.
Once you go black....ah nevermind.
Anyway, Phil at Android central said the material was a little different feeling to the 2013 nexus 5 but he wasn't sure if it was because it really is different or if it was because his nexus 5 was just so old and used. Either way, the fact he was sort of wishy-washy on it means it probably feels pretty good/similar to the 2013 model.
I ordered the Quartz on launch day.. Then last week I started thinking the Carbon looked really good so I ordered that one as well. I will return whichever I like least. I thought about the ice one but in the end decided it looked a bit feminine in my opinion (at least from the pics/videos of it)

Yeah when I saw the commercial on TV, I told my wife "Hey that's the phone I'm getting in Ice Blue" she was like "Oh that looks like Tiffany blue". lol.

If you like Ice, don't be afraid to rock it. I am buying the Ice and I don't give a f*** if it looks girly to someone else. I would rock the Rose Gold too and it actually looks nice @EeZeEpEe. Blue is my favorite color so having a different shade of it is no problem to me. In hands-on pics and videos, it doesn't look bad. A commercial on a TV will look different because of how it's calibrated

I guess I'll just have to wait and see in person. I don't mind really. I'd be a guy rockin "Rose Gold" if it was an option just cause I'm tired of Black or White.

Same commercial as the one on the Google or Nexus YouTube channel. I saw it during Gotham and others saw it during an MLB playoff game and a Monday night football game.
Sent from my Sprint Galaxy S5.

What color did you get?

Hi guys!
I am torn between the silver and the black version. Almost all my phones have been black, I had only one silver until now .
I really love the look of my black Note 7, wondering if the V30 will look the same...
So, if anyone got the black version, how do you like it, is it really glossy, how does it compare with a black S/Note Samsung phone?
Thank you !
Bought through T-Mobile so I didn't have a choice. They only have silver. I would have loved to have had that blue. I personally wouldn't do black for fear of it heating up faster if I have it on my dash for navigation. If you never have your phones where they can heat up and hit their thermal cut, black looks great.

No. I'm guessing the only people with them in the US are using imported or LG issued versions at the moment. Are any of the carriers even stocking that color in the US?

It seems that AT&T has it : https://www.att.com/cellphones/lg/v30.html#sku=sku8510584
Ah, my bad. For some reason I was thinking the blue. But no, I still haven't seen the black one either. I just know my V20 in grey was having enough thermal issues on my dash this summer and couldn't imagine what would have happened if it were black. I was also running streaming audio and maps out of it at the same time though but I don't think the dark color in sun helped me any.
Got my black one on the way. Will be here tomorrow!

Eagerly waiting to hear your thoughts !
I have mine in black. Most of my phones have been black so I thought I wouldn't like another black one, but for what it's worth, it's a very pretty black. Probably does show fingerprints more than other colors however.

I've had mine from tmo since Friday. I ordered Thurs Oct 5th (called in) and the rep gave me overnight shipping. So have had the only color offered. Silver. I really wanted blue! but not available. It is EXACTLY like the G6 just a little larger and smaller bezels.:laugh:

yeah, sorry, hit reply on wrong comment.
Got my black V30. Haven't even turned it on yet but this device is gorgeous!
VZW had silver but I like it. Front is all black - it's only the sides and back that are silver. Great looking device.

Is it glossy ? Really glossy? How about fingerprints ?

It is glossy. But I love the look of it. I wouldn't say it even feels like glass, more like plastic. Mines going back because it's got a dead pixel on screen so that's annoying.
No choice, silver. Looks good though. I have a Dbrand on the way that I might not use. Silver looks good.

I think that's the first actual "live" shot I've seen of the black. Man it looks sleek. The beast in the background looks cool too.
I wanted the black one but T-Mobile only carried the silver. I'm starting to like it as I use no case. It doesn't show the fingerprints as much as the black model, which I looked at in (I think) was an AT&T store.
