Seems to me that all the Samsung galaxy S II line up besides AT&T SGS II are getting a white version of their models. I mean even the skyrocket got a white version in less than a month after its release. November 6(Release Date)-December 4(White Version Release Date) So my question is has att and Samsung just abandoned the Galaxy S II? And Would you buy a white version if it was available at launch? and if any owners of the black version be interested in a white version?

I would have considered getting a white version of the phone. If I had the chance I would switch the black one for the white one(if it existed). It makes it a bit more unique, although most phones now are coming out with a white version it seems.
I would switch...i like the white color.

I'd get a white version if there was a choice. I'm pretty much stuck, but do believe I'd pick up a white one if it came down to it.
it just seems to me more than just a few people wish they could get a white version over the black version. i admit i almost got a white skyrocket when radio shack offered it to me cause this replacement for My SGS2 is taking a while to come in.
I'd have taken a white one, if I could have. I like the all black front, where the screen edge is hard to distinguish from the bezel, but white would be nicer. If they did offer a white one I think I would just lick up a back plate on eBay instead of buying a new one.

I've been considering getting one of those SGP cases. I currently have the white case mate pop case on my phone right now which ends up making it a lot thicker. The USB android thing in the last picture is really cool. Where do you get one of those for $4 (guessing eBay)?
The white sounds pretty tight, really.. and I would like if they put black capacitive buttons!

I just got my case today its pretty! Its thin looks more fragile than the phone. On phone its sturdy and firm fit. Id feel comfortable dropping my phone on the street with a casemate pop or tough case. But id only feel safe dropping it on the carpet of my living room with this case =/
I also thought of getting a leather case cause that saved my zune countless drops and scratches. Editor, Gariz, and Argos have nice cases

I noticed that most of the product pages show the Carbon Note and not the White Note when modeling cases. I thought I'd create a thread so that people who have already bought cases for their White Note could show off how theirs looks - maybe help a few of us that are undecided. Try to post a picture that shows the thickness and front lip/bezel,or if you have already posted in another thread, link to it here to make it more visible.
I for one am curious to see how much the Ultra Thins cover or how the Flip Style cases look. Thanks in advance (ps wtb photo gallery-esque search function on XDA!!)

I'm going to pre-order my AT&T Galaxy S III soon but I'm still stuck between white or blue. I think the blue looks sharp but if the faux metal texture is really visible and apparent that may turn me off from it. What do you guys think?
I visited Samsung HQ to test the S3 before launch (I work for Vodafone UK) and can tell you that the Pebble Blue is hidious! Such a shame really, they should have just made it black! Its personal preferance I guess but I chose the white one .
See, I disagree completely, I saw a blue demo model in my local Vodafone shop and thought it was gorgeous lolf
I have received this morning from Coolblue ( from the Netherlands) a Blue S3. Much nicer than the white S3 that I have seen in their shop.

Not because I already own a white one, I think it looks gorgeous! Tri to see both next to each other before choosing it .

Most UK stores now have demo units of both colours and the darker frame of the blue creates a better contrast against the screen. From the front the blue edges it IMO. However, from the back the blue looks more like purple and just doesn't look right.
Nonetheless I've ordered the blue and happy to wait bcos I'll be slapping a slimline mesh case on the back anyway. Interestingly when I Google 'pebble blue or marble white' the few polls I found all were in favour of the blue. But it's best to see both yourself as tastes differ.
I find the metal effect to be noticeable but subtle. Most of the time it just looks like a fuzzy dark blue device.
That said I've only seen/used it in shops so far, my personal unit should be arriving today.
Basically once you slap on a back cover the back doesn't matter much.
It's just the front now. To me unless your phone is in a very bright area, it looks very much like black and similar to other models of black phone.
Whereas the white will always be contrasting in most situation. And I heard the white goes well with the blue pebble cover from Samsung.
But as most said here, better to see it yourself in person.
For me after seeing the blue version, I find the white better.

Hey Guys, so i am planning to buy a Galaxy II soon so i had a query about which color i should go for. For me both the white and the black one will be for the same price. So here is what i want to know:
Does the White Galaxy S II get dirty and scratched easily as compared to the black one? Ive heard the glossy back panel on the white one picks up scratches and dirt and turns yellowish over time. Is this true?
And secondly about the rim around white Galaxy S II is silver colored and around the black is chrome i think. Which one is more durable and scratch proof? I would prefer if you answered from personal experience rather than guessing! Cheers!
I'd go for black
I have the black one and it just looks lovely after almost a year of solid use. It's not a chrome bezel though, it's pretty dark.
I also had the black one as it doesnt get dirty easily. If you scare the phone get dirty easily, buy a protector. The color is pretty much of your opinion.
Yeah, black seems old but with the great amoled looks fine than white
Dude do not go for black . I have black but it sucks when compare to white. White looks simply awesome.

Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2
I've had two S2's so far, both of them on black. Black ones are much easy to resell. They are also much more demanded, but if I could and if I do, I'd go for the white one. Just to try something different and also because on the reviews from youtube back from last year, it was clear the S2 was a bit more desired. The phone's in white can get dirty very easily so be aware of course. Black ones if scratched can be caught in the eye much easily and also dents or chips are more visible on the black ones imho.
My own experience
So I happen to own the white one..
Don't get me wrong, I love my phone and every thing but
it looks kinda "ODD" if you know what I mean..
especially when you are trying to watch a vid in a dark room
or when you get it out in a bus or somewhere crowded -you get people staring LOL :laugh:-
I've been using it for a while and the back cover is as good as new.
I guess the problem is the shiny rim.. it gets scratched easily.
so If I get to choose again I'd go for the black this time ..
I want a red one
I'd go white... just keep it clean & use a protective clear case ^^
If someone has white but want black one then u can exchange with me. I have black but I want white.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk 2
last time i checked, the white one has smooth glossy finish for the battery cover unlike the black one. but if you get a case i dont think anyone would see it
the white looks nicer with the sliver bezel around it. if i could i would have gotten a white one but it came out after i got the black one -.-
My wife has a white one and I have a black one. Both purchased about 9 months ago. I look after mine better than my wife, as in I don't just throw it into a bag of keys like she does! However her white gs2 looks like new still and mine always looks a little worn.
I would say we use them about the same too.

The white one has about a $20 more resale value. Look it up on ebay. it sells allot more than the black one and the bids are always higher than the black one.
I am owning a white Mega 6.3 , and i loved it . Before that i was using Titanium silver Note 2 which looks premium too.
So guys share your viewpoints/Opinions between white and Black Mega 6.3:good::good:
I prefer black as it looks more professional (in my opinion) and makes the Mega look more compact (e.g. if you want to look slim wear dark colored clothes). The screen also blends with the frame when it's off plus it's not as obvious when watching movies at night. The holes for the sensors are not noticeable and makes the front look more solid. Moreover, the white galaxy phones are known to get light bleed on the capacitive buttons and gets marks more easily (e.g. ink from pens, markers, dirt). If you smoke, it will also tend to make it yellowish overtime as it may absorb tar stains.

True. Mine is in a blue ultra slim case right now but the front will always be exposed so you'll still see the frame, the holes for the sensors, and light bleed from the capacitive buttons if you have a white Mega. I'm just answering the OP's question, it's always up to the user what will make him/her happy.
BTW, just noticed the photo of the black Mega in my previous comment. It has the back button and the menu button on the wrong places. Weird.

I prefer the elegance of the black one but got a white because it was 130 eur cheaper.

Thanks for pointing that out. Also, the speaker is in a different place on the back for each of them.
Personally, I love white phones because they just stand out more. I don't like to conform.
Edit: Now that I look, those phones don't look the same at all. Maybe one is the Mega 6.3 and one is the Mega 5.8?

Here in the UK, the white is cheaper than the black one in some stores. I guess the white colour became 'premium' when Apple started making white iPhones and called it 'magical'. In reality, lots of people like white because it's different but now it has become more common.
