Just letting everyone know that having questioned mobilephonesdirect.co.uk they have confirmed that the only Desires they are shipping are Silver/Graphite.
I have asked them to change the website to advise of this and to email all customers who have pre-ordered already.
They are not getting any Brown ones.
Not sure i want a silver one
Just a heads up, MPD will not deal with any customer service issue after you've taken delivery, they refer you to HTC. I had problems within a week and they wouldn't help me.

Really! I've never even seen or heard of a silver/graphite model. If this is true they'll get a fair few cancellations.

i can second this, after sales are truly rubbish, had an issue with my TP2 when I brought. Only had 10 days and they would not deal with me. Won't buy from these again soley based on there after sales.
Silver/Graphite doesn’t look so bad ? I’m getting one in few weeks.
I called mobilephonesdirect again today and they don't seem to know what's going on.
They advise that they are getting Graphite devices, but searching on-line the only colours I can find are brown or silver.
One of their staff said it would be the silver one and now another has said it is the brown
I did raise my concerns and they advised that if the phone I receive is not the one shown in the picture on their website then I can return it

Good luck with getting that to happen
hmm I have pre-ordered from MPD also and am not that hot on getting a silver one.
edit: looks like MPD are now confirming they are selling brown.
This Dutch website also offers both the Brown/Silver version:

IMO, brown > Silver.

Just received a mail from them that contradicts this. I asked them specifically if they were selling the brown which was the one used on their website, and they said...
"The handset we have depicted on our website is in fact the Brown but we will be selling the Graphite"
"graphite vs Silver" Debate
Guys,
I don't know about you all, but my definition of the colour 'Graphite' is more like a dark charcoal kind of colour instead of something that looks silver/grayish...
HTC itself only defines Silver & Brown (which is same as the hero and that is definetly more black-ish than silver-ish...)
Thus, the 'Graphite' simply must be the 'brown' version in my humble opinion.
CT
omg! I didn't think about this at all! I ordered mine from tre.se, and the confirmation says it's grey! I'm kinda disappointed. The picture on the website is brown, and you never get to choose colour during the ordering process
You have to go all the way in to the full specifications to see the colour.
Well, I'll get used to the grey one I guess....
Apparently there is also a "black" version at amazon :
http://www.amazon.fr/gp/product/B00...&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=463375513&pf_rd_i=405320

This is my opinion too. The supposedly "brown" version doesn't look remotely brown either in any photo. All very confusing. How difficult can it be to choose a phone's colour name based on it's actual colour? I've pre-ordered from MPD and am not too keen on the silver version so hopefully I'm correct in thinking I'll get the one pictured.

Other people have and it doesn't sound like they know themselves. If sent the silver I'd settle for it. If I was buying the phone for it's looks I'd go for the Legend.
I'm thinking about getting one from mpd, was looking getting the payg on vodafone rather than the simfree(~£50 difference). anyone know if it'll be unlocked or not? I recently got the o2 £15/month simplicity for smart phones 12month so not looking at a new contract.
carphone warehouse and it's affilate websites(mobiles.co.uk, e2save etc) sell unlocked handsets, be it on contract or payg. so I was wondering if mpd do the same thing, some one on the ocuk forums said that they emailed asking if the phone was unlocked, but it was regarding the ones on contract so not 100% sure about the payg one.
I am a bit sceptical buying from mpd reading some of the comments on here plus reviews on them from customers on another websit(can't remember the name of the site off the top of my head). have a store like 6miles from me so hopefully they'll be more helpful then the call centre.

I think that picture is an old render from before the final design was decided on. Hence the non-standard colour, and different buttons/optical trackpad.
I don't think a black model exists.
I wouldn't worry.
The default "brown" looks great under normal light, but once you go outside and the sun beams down, the blimming phone looks a salmony pinky colour. I kid you not. My phone turns gay in the sun!!! lol
I cancelled my order from this site after reading a forum with complaints as long as your arm, loads had sent there phones back with issues and took up to 1 month to get them sorted, it seems they have very very bad after sales and i thought its not worth the hassle.
I live in the US with a AT&T Atrix, but out of curiosity I went on Bell's website and looked at their accessories for the Atrix, and I found some interesting ones. First off that S wave, the first 2 I point to is on ebay. I saw them before looking on Bell but just realized I can get them . Now, I could actually care less about that one, the second 2 I point to is what i'm fascinated with. The silicone one with the diamond pattern cut in. It reminds me of a Speck Pixelskin and.... I WANT IT! Does anyone in Canada have either of these from Bell? Are they as they look in the picture? Last time I checked the same accessories page for the Atrix on bell there was a blue and brown one, now their both gray. I actually like the gray better though. If anyone has one, would they be willing to sell it to me? I dont want the leather holster/case/pouch thingy. Just the silicone
PLEASE I'M DESPERATE!!!! I'M A CASE FANATIC! I MUST HAVE ♥!
Thanks!
Take a look, here's the link: http://www.bell.ca/shopping/PrsShpWls_PrdAccList.page?currentPageIndex=0&phoneSku=71866
P.S. I believe it's the same as the Roots Protective Skin except it comes with the holster thing. I believe the Roots Skin is on the 2nd page. Anyone willing to sell me on Bell wont ship it to me in the US
NOBODY?!?!?!?
I have the black one. It is okay at best, it has grippy sides with raised studs. I find them annoying and i am currently waiting for my commuter to arrive in the mail. as soon as it does you can have this one lol
wow i need to pay attention a little bit more lol i dont have that case i have black and clear hybrid sorry
Im looking for a case myself. I'm going to run by Pacific Mall to see what they have. If I dont see anything, I'll pick the black one up and tell you how it is.

«i had one of those for my 3GS, they are good if your traveling or doing something physical while with the phone, but other then that they collect too much lint for me.
looking at all the prices
WAY more reasonable then the US
why the f--- are they charging $500 for the stupid lapdock in the US
freaking out of their mind
i say even @ $320 they are making a big profit - canadian MSRP
so if it is @ $250 range it is reasonable
also the $19.99 back cover is not bad either

Just found this picture via Twitter: leather back cover for the Samsung Galaxy S2.
On the picture, they mention a "customisation pack" for the SGS2.
Apparently they're available in France, at the Bouygue telecom company. Maybe elsewhere too?
I've never seen them available online. Have you?
I've seen some on eBay, but they are like crocodile textured and ugily.
yes, information on some of them, with ostrich leather skin, has been posted here.
But I prefer the ones I posted above, with the cow leather.

Three lights are located at the top center of transparent piece. so it should light up front and back evenly.
Went to T-Mobile, AT&T and Verizon retail stores today looking for a universal case that would hold this device and none of them had one!
This cannot possibly be the only 5" device on the market. Pathetic selection. What kind of business model doesn't have accessories to support the devices they provide?

I totally agree with what you say and unfortunately we have to wait till it becomes more avaiblable in the US. If we were in Europe or else where it would be easier.
All the stores like ATT tMobile, etc. in the US are garbage and useless. Unfortunately this is how it is here.

Nimche, you don't know how it is here in Brazil... Hahaha. Anyway, yes, having no support on a product you bought... really sucks.
I had one of the FEW Sony Ericsson Satio that were sold in Brazil, and trust me... A Nissan Pathfinder went over it, and the cellphone was still working perfectly, but obviously over asphalt the screen got cracked... There was NO Sony Ericsson retailers that had the screen, and only to fix it, it'd cost me 1/3 of the price of the device...
Anyways, I'm receiving a hard case from Handtec with my order. You can get the hard case here: handtec.co.uk/product.php/6407/sony-xperia-s-shell-case---black

Yes, I feel what you say as well. No wonder here in the US people like to get iPhone alot because you go to store and buy the darn thing with all the accessories you want and even WindowsMobile you could go to MS store and get it but Sony with all the power it has is like Sh*t. You go to store, you find the most useless people on the planet to work there, they have no clue what they are selling and no information of what is coming. Every time I go there, I have to surprise them with new Sony's technology.
That hard case is like the original Sony branded (website didn't fully work) but I think Clove at UK and Expansys USA will start selling them too Expansys USA
I like the blue one tho.

Hi all,
I was looking around to buying myself a moto 360, But I really only want one with a metal band. However it looks like currently only the US can get the metal band option and here in the UK we are stuck with just the leather option. Has anyone heard anything about a potential release date for the UK?
Thanks
I'd be happy seeing actual stock come into stores regardless of the band they come with so if it's anything like the actual launch we're probably going to be waiting some time for stock to begin to come in volume so it can be distributed to stores and so on other than Motorola's site.
I just got an email now saying there available
Hit Thanks if I Helped

Ah right, on the UK motorola store they are still showing up with only the leather band option, Maybe they are a little slow in updating
I gave up waiting and bought the black Pebble Steel band, fits perfectly and looks good
Although it does catch the hairs on my arm a bit...

...and it will crack the back of your watch pretty quickly. You need a Motorola band, it has a special design to avoid cracking and also looking better by avoiding the "hockey puck" look.
