Which color did you buy: Marble white or pebble blue?
Curious to see how our poll results will differ from the international poll (where blue is leading by ~11%)
never been a fan of white myself and have always chosen black. I don't have one yet (waiting for stock) but that blue looks damn fine in my opinion. I bet the white looks awesome as well but I like the darker color.

Same here - really wanted black, but went with white because I didn't much like the fake brushed-metal pattern on the blue and its purplish home button. Nothing a case can't mostly hide, though.
White. Not even a debate.

I got the blue and my GF got the white.
The back of the white looks better.
The front is a toss up... they both look lovely... until one of the capacitive or notification LEDs lights up on the white phone.
The white version has light leak around the leds... makes it look cheap.
I would recommend blue + aftermarket back
I want the blue and voted for it but I saw a white and black case on a white model and it looked pretty darn good. I think it was a case-mate case. If they have a white one available, then I'll decide then. Either way, a case is going on it, so really, what does it matter?
Peebble blue with Samsung blue Flip case looks very professional. Im loving it.

Ordered and received Blue (read: butt ugly purple) and hated it... It's a blue'ish purple, the back cover is a different color and the button is a different color... This thing has 3 different shades of blue / purple on it... Really Samsung??
Posted an ad on Craigslist in LA for a trade and actually found someone! Woohoo.. Now I have white and am pleased..
If the blue was all one color it might look better but the 3 different shades makes it one of the ugliest looking things I have ever seen... Hope they fix it and devices manufactured later won't suffer from it..

really? your capacitive buttons only show the back/menu images in darkness? stand with your phone in a dark room and tell me the buttons aren't 3x brighter than the screen. they don't dim which is pretty annoying.

First off... They should have offered Black. Which is what I would have wanted. I chose white because the blue didn't appeal to me at all.. I like the non-visible buttons, doesn't show scratches or fingerprints as easily, and i've always had an easy time reselling white phones.. Either way I love the phone, and look forward to modding the hell out of it. Already had several Apple sheep admit their jealousy..

The more I use my phone in different light, the more I realize I have a purple phone. The back is the most blue part, but the sides and front are straight up purple in most light, especially natural light. I have also noticed that, in certain light, the front of the phone is the same exact color as the home button. It still looks very nice and, imo, much better than white. I would have chosen black if it was available. Imagine this thing in black chrome instead of purple chrome. Drool.
Bluuue
Got the blue. Would rather have black. The blue is growing on me......

My order just came in and here are some pics. Sent by Samsung Vibrant.
For all the other people that have received one, does anyone notice that their menu lights have an illuminating affect around it? It doesn't look as clean as the black ones because it just doesn't glow in on the menu icons but all around it.
Yes i notice that on my friends white sgs2..light leakage perhaps?? Or the fact that its white led simply reflecting off the white colored casing of the phone?

No lines or blobs on mine. The white looks real good and gets a lot of attention. The back has a real nice gloss to it as well.
Looks awesome! Shame that they had to place the Samsung on the bottom, always looks so cramped for you T-Mobile Users.

Yeah, Tmobile stopped putting headsets at the beginning of the month. You would think that a $600 phone would come with one. I'm glad I bought mine on release because mine came with one and they are really nice.

I can make out the lines on the screenshot of the phone keypad. Really hard to notice since the sticker is in the way and the brightness isn't low enough, but it's there.
Just got mine today I notice the screen isn't as crisp as it should be I owned the Droid charge and everything just popped on this it looks kinda wash like the motorola displays nothing like the charge. It is the same display isn't it? When the screen is off I can clearly see a foggy residue under the screen.

Wish they would have released the white version with the black version so I could have gotten that one instead. I love my SGS II regardless of it's color but the white version is a real attention-grabber.

Trying to get mine through Tmobile retentions but apparently they are out of stock of the black and white with no estimate on new ones coming in... Sad.
Wish I had waited. I am guessing that the material of the device is not solid enough to stop the light from shinning through. I don't think its a problem, but if it is you can contact Customer Care and they might have some idea on whats going on. Dude, you have a White SGSII which almost everyone here is pissed about not having. Be happy!
Im buying an HTC One X in the new few weeks, and I was wondering if I should get the black or white one. I heard there were issues with the white model and wearing jeans. If you have the black, do you like it?

I currently own the white one and i love it, however unlike some other phones it lacks a clear protective overcoat ( Such as "Iphoney" 4 ) and the white wears down fast, i am a jeans wearer and on hot days or if im walking alot the dye washes on the case especially on the edges, Trust me its a pain to get rid of the stains, took me a few days worth of fetteling to clean it off, i now own The htc white stripey case, and it saves a lot of hassel.
If your a tart like me then get white just take precautions, and get a case. I cant stand the black version it lacks the premium look that the white has.

P.s i have this case but in white, wish i had gotten the blue one though . . . .

Thanks everyone for the input! Im leaning more towards the black/gray version.
i too got the grey - reason being - i hate the ipod look and i have always thought the white to be a bit girly (sorry girls).
i got mine release day and it still looks brand new even after putting it in my levi`s lol
got the white one
no jeans issues (btw most jeans these days have their pockets made out of different material + jeans dont bleed color after you wash them for the first time, otherwise they bleed color even on white snickers)
grey model looks cheap and white model is by far the more popular one and everyone i know says its the better looking one.
I got the white one, as it was obvious choise since i always wanted White. My neighbour got grey and it's good looking too!

Depends on whether how long you plan on using it for... If its for very long then I suggest black, cause white gets dirty on the back very easily

I was pretty sure I would be getting white version, but when I came to the shop and saw both of them next to each other I fell in love with gray. Seriously, in pictures it doesn't look even half as good as in reality. It is very classy and looks kind like a monolite, which is not the case with white. Also, white is not as white as it looks in pictures.
Only drawback is that back of the phone catches fingerprints easily (maybe due to hot summer and sweating hands) and I think I have some solid fat marks that I can't get rid of. Don't know how white one behaves tho.
I've now had about 6 of the white gs3 from t-mobile. I have had 1 16gb (it didn't have bleed). The other 5 (32gb) has had this bleed from the buttons in some way. It's worse in person than in pictures, but you can get an idea.
I've also had one where you could see the insides of the phone from an improper seal where the screen meets the bottom by the lights (screen meeting white trim).

Am I the only person to notice this? I'm pretty picky, but this (especially the right one) is totally unacceptable. Video or a dark background at night makes it stick out like a sore thumb.
The one on the bottom, you're being a little picky. The one on the side is legitimate...but why not just turn off the LEDs and save yourself some hassle?

I agree, if I was paying for a $700 device I would want it perfect. I get mine (White 32gb) Friday and will report my findings. I have a strong feeling i'm gonna go back to blue.
How have you had so many GS3's? I'm not shocked though because this was discussed to no end when the phone was first released. I'm sure they could have prevented this by using a dark film underneath the screen with a masked cut out for the menu and back keys. But what do I know about manufacturing. Maybe they see this as a bonus feature?

You're not going to have that problem with the blue one, If I'm right I think most white phones has the same problem, I know my friends white skyrocket has it.
Yikes... That's a nasty light bleed
I noticed this on my white GS2 as well but I got the blue for my GS3. My wife has the white but it doesn't look that bad to me.
I think this is a tough problem to conquer for everyone. Remember how long the white IP4 was delayed?

Technically we should have a Red GS3 since AT&T is the only carrier with that color.
white is better :good:
My apologies, I linked to an image but apprently new users can't do that quite yet heh. Well, I suppose the next best thing is to discuss this.
Is it possible to get it back/front mix of both colors for the forum image.
Now that I think about it, wit this red one coming out now...this could get a lot more difficult then first imagined. I suppose its just going to have to be one or the other. Not that I don't like the white ones, its just I think the blue is a lot more...distinct?

I like the white, I really do. It's clean looking, it's damn sexy.
I just...I don't know... I see some light bleed with the capacitive buttons. Though that's not much of a turn-off for me, it just doesn't give that "defined" look I guess. I really like the brushed look on the blue. I wish they could of done something with the white, maybe a silver brush? I hear people that usually get the white one aren't a fan of this brushed look though.
Still to this day one of the sexiest plastic finishes for laptops had to be the HP's for a while. They weren't much for scratch resistance, but some of the designs and textures were awesome!
Has anyone gotten to play with the red one yet? Thing looks amazing.

The white version is prettier. Although I do agree, we could have a picture of the red one since that's an AT&T exclusive.
I think white look better than any other color
Let's change it to a neutral color that the S3 doesn't come in! Maybe something like pink?
if you go to settings->display->touch key light duration you can set the capacitive buttons to be always off. since they flank the physical home button on either side, you can't really mess up hitting them as long as you memorize right side is back and left is menu. i think it makes the phone look super sleek and clean if they never light up. i do have the pebble blue version tho and my capacitive buttons are essentially invisible when not lit up.
probably adds a little battery life too...

So I'm gonna get a SGS3 soon, upgrade came around and it's time to replace my Inspire 4G.
I'm completely set on getting an SGS3, after hours on hours of research in the great HOX vs. SGS3 debate I finally decided on the SGS3. The only problem now is what color to get.
I've seen the blue and white ones in store, but not the red one yet, simply because when I looked around the red version was not yet released. Blue looks surprisingly good, better than I thought it would from online pics. White? Well, I'm not really a fan of glossy white, especially since that's sort of... Apple's thing (and lets be honest, the iPhone 4(S) in white looks much better than the SGS3 in white).
However, I figure at the same time I'm going to put it in a case, and it's likely not going to be a clear (TPU) case either, so realistically only the bezel will be showing. So at the end of the day, I want to be picking the color that matches best with possible cases (I'm thinking, Speck Candy Shell, Insipio Silicrylic, or Otterbox Commuter), which makes white a more attractive option, as white goes well with many colors, while blue or red may not.
So, really I have two questions:
What do you think of the Garnet Red color? Preferably if you've seen it in person.
and
Which color would match best with cases?

All 3 area amazing. I have the white one but wouldn't mind having all three colors. There is no "this color is better"...who cares. Buy one and enjoy it.
Just my 2 cents..
I've seen the red in person and it's quite nice. It's more of a deep wine color if you aren't in direct light which gives it a bit more sophisticated look to it than a typical fire engine red color. Get the red if you like the appeal of more of a "rare" color phone as obviously not as many people will have it compared to the blue or white models.
I personally have the blue and have no regrets with it. When in low lighting or dark atmosphere, it's hard to tell that the phone is even blue and looks more towards the black spectrum. I also think it has a more professional look than the white model does. I don't mind taking my phone out in front of clients or my bosses at work etc.
The white model is the most feminine of them all to me personally. I also hate white borders for any of my gadgets. It makes the screen look more like it's inside of a picture frame if that makes sense. With dark or black borders, the screen blends in way better and much more pleasurable to view when watching videos.
Now with that all being said, regardless of how they look, I highly suggest investing in a case for the phone. This will obviously limit the amount of case is exposed.
I exchanged my blue one for a red one and never looked back. Its amazing I even have a red webbed technocell case to with it...and the red capbuttons look grrrrreat!
I wanted black, but at the time only had choices of white or blue. Blue looked purple to me, so I chose white. I have a black thin case on it, and surprisingly like the way it looks.
My son bought the red one last week. I can't say that I really care for it in red, but he loves it. So I guess it really comes down to personal preference. The red is actually a nice deep shade, but I'm still not a fan of having a red phone.

The capacitive button are red on the red phone. Looks great :thumbup:
The red is fantastic. It sealed the deal with ATT.
The pictures online suck, and a camera can't really catch it. It's a polished red plastic with powder flake and the color is a nice deep cherry red. Similar would be a 50th Anniversary Corvette Velocity Red, but the phone is a little brighter in direct light. It actually matches my car really well, and it's 1987 GM Dark Red Metallic.
When I hit my ten posts I'll come back here with some pictures.
I love my red s3...definitely the best color imho

As promised.
These first two show the difference between average light (no flash) and bright light.
Here is another shot showing how bright light really makes the phone a nice red color, and shows off my laptop's pattern well too.
This is GoLauncher with the BloodRed theme available on the market. Homescreen widget is Fancy Widgets.
Colors
So here you go I am the color whore and I have had every color and passed the ones I didn't like to my employee's.
White - I like but it made me think iPhone but very nice
Blue - I just don't like the confusing color between gun metal and burple
Red - well thats what I am carrying at the moment. Hmm... well as the pictures shot in the above post in bright light its awesome and thats the color I wanted. What I have most of the the time is closer to burgundy. So overall I just don't like it.
Conclusion - I am thinking hard about returning the Red for White. I wish it were a brighter red. I purchase a Seidio Case and their Garnet was the color I wanted for the SG3. So as a result the colors clash.... Clearly its personel preference but look it over in the bright light and in the normal light and determine where you spend most of your time. THe difference in color is pretty dramatic.
I have the white version but I wouldn't mind using any color. Overall your gonna be happy with any color.

I got a red one its cool looking most of the time but in direct sunlight I feel like a lady its too glittery.
White colored phones are in no way "feminine."

It's personal preference. It's an S3, you can't go wrong with any color. I have the pebble blue and I love it. The most popular color of choice up here is white. We don't have the red one. I would've loved a black one. I doubt we will get it. I know every phone is black but it matches my wardrobe and purses.
My red AT&T S3 got me a date with a hot Samsung rep at the Mexican cell carrier Telcel(as they don't have the red ones).
Just kidding about the date, but she was impressed, and they don't have them in Mexico.
I really like my red one, compliments my White International S3 nicely:

Blue as well, here and I was so close to getting the white. Now I wish I had bought the white. I thought about waiting for the red but now I think it's a little too bold.
I have the white and really like the way it looks in person. It is super sleek and just has a really nice look. If I could have a different color I would like the new black one that is coming out.
