Normally I buy dark phones but I really hated the grey note 2 when I saw it in store. However it's all a matter of taste, you have to see both colors and make your own opinion.

Yeah, I got the white from Newegg after the $30 coupon ($649). Also, go to fatwallet.com, click on cash back, find newegg, and click-through from there to purchase. In about 45 days, you will have an extra (up to) 4% back. Best deal going.
Use the savings to buy a genuine flip cover - this way you get the color you want (minus the front, which is not a big deal at all).

Titanium Gray is more appearing and this is why I am not upgrading to 32 GB version and sticking with my gray 16GB. In my market 32GB note 2 is available but only in white. When I bought my phone there was no 32 GB available. Now it is available but only in white. Had it be gray and I would have upgrade it in blink of an eye but white one looks cheap from bazel and the back. Titanium gray looks cool and different from other regular colors.

Does the white have light leakage on the from bezel buttons like the SII did? That is what steered me to preorder it in grey. Looks more professional IMO.

Where is your market? A 32GB is what I've been looking for. I need one like yesterday.

I got the grey model because, while the white model is gorgeous and eye catching, I think it's novelty of having a white device would fade shortly after or I would get tired of putting it on the table or taking it out in front of people. I don't want to look "metro cool" at work, haha. I just want something classy, which the white is, but it's just not for me. I'm used to having BLACK phones and I'm tired of black phones. So when I saw Samsung has the SGN2 in TITANIUM GREY! I thought "whoopie!" hehe. But to be honest, the white is really nice, but I think in the long run the grey version will serve me better . This is of course 100% an opinion.

any color will do
Thanks, Color doesn't bother me as much, I just need more than 16gb. So there is hope that the 32gb might be in the states sometime. Since there in your area already.

Get a microSD card?
My SIII died and had to be repaired...I lost everything I had stored on internal memory (though I had a backup made days earlier, phew!)
Just a thought

I guess I will. I was hoping for 32g internal and a 64g sd card. But I don't think I can last until it comes over here. But I've waited this long, perhaps one more month will not kill me.

Thanks for your input guys and yes when og note came out I knew right away that I wanted the white one. Now with the note 2 I wasn't sure about whether I wanted the white because I was always attracted to white phones or because it looked better than the grey one. Looking closely at many pics and videos of people actually holding the device upclose I've decided that I will go with the grey one. Two reasons, when I had the white note the slightest scratch on the back was able to be seen and because there's something about those tiny little stripes on the grey one that intrigues me lolll

White phones are designed for people who just care about the looks.
Anyone who is a tiny bit technically competent who never ever put a white bezel around a screen. It is stupid because you lose precious contrast on the gorgeous screen.
Apple should really patent the white bezel so that everyone stop copying it.

i actaully like the white. to me it makes the screen seem bigger. other than that, id take the black. not really into multi colored phones but thats just me
Still waiting for someone to trade me a white one ... Does anyone know how easy it would be to replace the face if a white oem came available?
I would love a white one but currently have the black one.
My white one seems to get a lot of compliments and "What kind of phone is THAT" type questions (usually from iphone users ^_^). In any event, I like it.
I like the white one alot, but really wish we could get the RAZR treatment. That kevlar is cool.

I have to agree here. I looked at the White S3, and just thought that it looked too plain. I mean yea... there's nothing special about giving a brushed aluminium look to plastic, but at least it's an added bit of depth. Didn't really want such a smexy phone to look like... uuh... another popular white phone that's not nearly as smexy.

It's even worse that they're claiming that the ICON'S infringed on their patents. Going by their actual patent information in that document, and looking at the side by side's later on... wtf are they on? Well, we could easily say that the white phone on a green background is NOT at a 45-degree angle. And most of the others don't look remotely similar. I mean... thinking that Samsung's smiley in a speech box looks similar to Apple's own speech bubble? The Settings icon... what... because it has a gear in it? And WTF are they on with the photo gallery icon? NOT EVEN CLOSE!
Apple just seems to have the patent office in their pockets, as well as the judges they use for this sh*t, cause they are granted so many patents for the most ridiculous stuff it's unrealistic.

Grey or White?

I am having a tough time deciding between which color I should get. Grey or White?
What color have you chosen?
Lol...there is a thread already for this topic in the Q&A section.
Anyways....personally, I'm going for the white one because of three reasons:
1. I have never had a white phone before
2. It looks quite elegant and will definitely stand out more
3. I dont think the grey one will go well with any colour case

I have a blue S3 and I'm going with the white most likely, for the simple fact that dust collects in the crack between the screen and the bezel and its super noticeable for me, on white its hardly as apparent, plus I don't need to be professional

Don't mean to offend anyone, or start an argument, but white phones are usually associated with women. The GSIII is an exception, because the other option was blue (who gets that color).

I will go with white. It is more elegant, and not a fingerprint magnet. I looked at the blue color of the s3 and found the faux brushed aluminum looks... plasticky, for lack of a better word.

and the purple home button thats why i got white. i will have to see them both :highfive:
Grey, I don't like the black edges on white phones. The effect is bad on my iPhone, probably better on note since it's so big but I'll still go with grey. I don't dislike white, but I'll get grey this time.
Gray all the way.. I got 2 gn1 and had to replace one because some screen defect when upgraded to ICS and the ssc replaced my phone for a new one.. But they didn't have another black and gave me a white one..
White its girly.. I just got home and gave my wife the white and took her black...
And yeah professional looks does matter also... Can't imagine myself on a blue /grey/black tuxedo in the office and getting out of my pocket an extremely big white phone lol..

There are many other samsung colour that are more girly such as the red and pink
I'd far prefer black, but I just don't like the Grey. The grey looks cheap to me for some reason.
I'm getting white. White is a neutral color, nothing girly about it.
Besides, it'll go in a thin case eventually.

Got a white one because #1, it's the only one they had on display and didn't have titanium. #2, I've had grey/black phones before in the past so white is something new.

I settle for white again. As the Titanium is the same finish as the metallic blue of an S3. I feel it makes it look cheap.
I have had the white S3 since launch day and it's whiter than my room mate.
It's glass and the back covers are cheap if it does ever change color. I don't mind paying the $8 for a new battery cover or a aftermarket one. It's been what like 5-6 months now and my battery cover is like new.
An extra $8 every 6 months for a white battery cover is nothing. I'll probably have this phone for 6 months to a year and a half.
The bezel is silver, so you really have to do some damage to ruin the "white".
Thanks for the input guys.

Like you I was used to getting the dark s2 & s3, so I decided to get the white s4. Tired of getting black.

I had the Pebble Blue GS3 so I went with the Frost White this time around just cause I was a little sick of the blue. Honestly since the black on is actually black this time and not dark blue they both look fine. I think the white looks cleaner and stands out better than black, but it's really a personal preference, they both look fine, just depends how flashy you want to be.
I went with the white but now I feel a bit too feminine. But just the thought of having to return it just for a different color sounds like a pain lol.

If you're planning on getting a case for your phone, see which one looks best with black or white. I have the black case with a clear case...looks very sleek. The white S4 can go very well with certain case colors...it all depends...but this is how I determine which color to get.
You can't go wrong with either one IMO.

it has nothing to do with being insecure, people just have different opinions
I too feel white phones being more feminine because most girls get white phones and black has more of a man color feel...I came from a white S3 but now got the Black mist S4
I got a white s4 herr just because I feel it has a more premium look to it. But the black s4 is by far the sexiest new color they came out with. If you look at the back it has such an amazing texture.
