I got a Lumia 800 which is T-Mobile Germany branded. Therefore in my list of accent colors there is a quite ugly pink. The default is an interesting gray design, BUT there is no Nokia Blue!
What about you? Do what colors do the unbranded Lumias contain (besides the standard WP7 ones)?
You're not missing out on much, Nokia Blue is just a tad darker than the Blue Theme and that's the only custom accent colour on my phone.
Well I think the standard blue is far to bright and ugly and from the pictures the nokia blue did look much better to my taste...
I don't get why T-Mole didn't overwrite some OTHER color
I know this is very superficial but is the blue theme similar to the blue plastic colour of the phone? I am choosing between the black and blue model but if the two blues look the same I will get it as it would just perfectly accent each other.

Not completely sure, although I wanted the cyan model, but ended up with the black. I love it because it compliments the screen glass and the background of the start page. Sometimes the phone just looks magical, with white text floating on top of a black slab.
Want something different
Black is always the safe option but every phone I have EVER owned has been black I was hoping the blue would be amazing.

I agree with him ^^, that's what I'll be doing when the white cover comes out. Not a fan of the blue, I heard that the accent does not match with the models blue too, double check to make sure.
There is no accent color to match the Cyan phone.
Having said that, the Cyan Lumia is gorgeous. If I want my phone to look black, I'm partial to getting a black case. As it stands, people think my Cyan Lumia is in a case, until they feel that it is no.
That cyan 800 just brightness my day. Had black N9, and you are right that the black one has these magical moments when the text and icons float on the screen with the clear black display combined with the black body, especially as N9 has no front buttons at all.
Just can't get over how good the cyan 800 looks like imo. Don't like to have my phones in cases, especially as it's so hard to scratch the 800 body.
Why not getting the white one then? Black cases have been out for a while, plus the white one has that weird "rarity" feeling to it
I'm really leaning towards swapping mine for this sassy unicorn...
Like the title says, if you are going to buy the Lumia 920, what color? :laugh:
PS Why are there 2 WP8 forums?
Because there isn't.... wrong thread in the wrong section. This is the Win8 you want WP8 which is over there

I would LOVE for Nokia to release the Lumia 920 in Cyan, like it keeps teasing. If so, I'll get that one. If not, I'd get black as my first choice (and thus, my vote), or gray as my second (though I'd have to see it).
Red, cause I'm the Red Ranger damnit... on the Red Ranger network, Verizon. XD

I don't think the 920 can run on VZW network? Correct me if I am wrong
I want the cyan one the most but who knows if that will ever come and I don't wanna wait for it either. From the colors available the grey one with matt finish and the yellow look most appealing to me. But grey seems to be mia at the moment and germany is officially only getting black, white, red and yellow.
Really having a tough time deciding which one to pick. Yellow looks great but it's a bit too flashy like red. Black and white are just too boring since everyone is running around with those colors these days.
black since it is an elegance color and shows the cell phone
The yellow one looks amazing.

If the yellow came in a matte finish I would be set.
As it stands I'm tossing up between yellow and black.
White...no question...as long as Verizon gets it (yes, there is a strong rumor of a roadmap realeased and the 920 was on it)
well, just saw this ad of the 920 targeting the different colors and the lack of color of the iphone.. it's actually quite well made..

I've had black phones since my very first, so time for a change (like in the new ad).
I've preordered the yellow one yesterday.

I was going to get Cyan like my 900 but think I am going white. I like changing tile colors and more go with white than cyan

Black is definitely my first choice, but I also really like the red, I'm just afraid the accent colors won't match the red if I decide to mix it up a bit. Sigh... maybe I'll get the Lumia in red and get a 8X in black.
I can't make my mind up lol. Leaning more to white now lol

I haven't decided if I'm getting it or not, but matte white would definitely be a nice option.
Not a fan of the glossy backed ones. I sure hope the WP8 announcement brings some real game changers to light.

I traded my Cyan 900 for a white and happy. Will go with white for my 920 also. Put invisible shield on the back and it gives it a matte look. Although I like glossy. Just did it to protect the metal around camera

The big difference lies in the finishing as well... The bright coloured are nice indeed, but not that fun to hold with wet hands. The shiny finishing really is a fingerprint magnet as well. They should have made alle the colours with the matte finishing, like the black and gray versions.
Just my five cents,

Im buying a L920. I've always been set on the red model, but having watched several video reviews im now in doubt.
- Smudgeprints are extremely noticeable on red
- It has a really big "wow effect", its very noticeable with such a massive, bright red glossy back
- Its not gonna match live tiles if I change the colors
Because of this, im leaning towards White, but I have some questions about it.
- Does it get dirty easier? (ie. dirt gather in scratches)
- I read white phones tend to turn yellow if exposed to certain things such as cigarette smoke. Is this true?
- Is there overall something I should be aware of when getting a white phone?
Thanks in advance.

I had the White for a week then swapped out to a Red one. I didn't notice anything unusual like smudge prints etc, that stood out on the white. But, I'm an office worker so I'm not generally exposed to much dirt or grime.
Of the 2 colors, I'm not sure which I really prefer. The Red stands out, but so does the White. There are certain theme colors that do not go well with either color...so it boils down to your personal preference.
Though liking both the White and Red, I have not regretted switching to the Red

Im gonna be using full body protection on the phone, including on metal+lens on the back from the Martin Fields protector. Im not exposed to dirt either (being home going till march...), but its still something I'd like to know, as I've never had a white phone.
Imo red stands out more than white. White is a fairly common color among phones (one reason I dont prefer the color), however the bright red is not. Im just imagening holding it to my ear and all ppl see is the bright back, heh. White just seems so...smooth, despite being common.
Bump for more interest.
Well I can't say anything about White vs. Red but I had a Cyan for two weeks and then I got RED .... I personally liking RED a lot more.

I would get the Red colour. My mum got a White 920 and I really don't like it. I also seen the Yellow version which I thought I would hate, but it actually looked pretty cool in person.
I have a black one which I would say is the best color to choose, either that or the matte grey model.
Between red and white, go red IMO.
I got the yellow one, and I love it - though most people don't (who cares - I love it).
Before that, I had the white Galaxy S2. Looks pretty fine after about a year of usage, besides the scratches it got from the one and only time I dropped it.
I wouldn't hesitate to go for white in means of dirt stains or so. As long as you're not a smoker it should keep it's color for some time.
I am coming from a white HTC One X and I decided to go with a red 920.
When the Lumia 900 came out, I fell in love with the white one. When the HTC One X came out, to me it was like a slightly more rounded "Android" version of the Lumia so I had to have the white one. I really like the color and the contrast of white and black. The only issue I had with the color I had was due to the invisishield protection I had on it. My jeans would stain the shield blue-ish so the phone was never a true white. I read that a naked One X will do the same thing, but that you can clean it off with alcohol. However, if you have a naked Lumia, I doubt that will happen because of the glossy finish.
The reason why I ended up with a red 920 is not because of that, however. I went to the store to check all the colors out and red really stood out to me more so than the other options.
So if you really like the red, get the red but if you really like the white, get the white. But be aware that invisishield-type protection on that phone might be really noticeable once it gets dirty because of the white. I believe the naked phone will actually look cleaner.
I have a white and a black. White stays white - no smudging. However, I will say that the colored ones have more 'grip' that the black - which is very slick.
To my first test drive with a red one then ended up getting a white one for the wife & I. Just came down to personal preference, the one thing I new was I didn't want another black phone
I have been getting asked constantly which colour is the best for the Huawei P30 Pro and P30, So I thought I would start this thread to help everyone and since I have had hands on with all of the colours I can advice everyone accordingly. Here is a link to my video showing them in the flesh https://youtu.be/S5UvQGCE4Bg
But please please do read this post as it should answer any questions you may have. Feel free to ask me anything and to let me know which is your favourite colour.
There are 5 colours available, Pearl White, Breathing Crystal, Amber Sunrise, Aurora and Black. Note that the Pearl white version is not available in the UK and Only the Sunrise Amber comes with 512gb storage.
Lets start off with the Amber Sunrise, this is my favourite colour personally as it is a different shade I haven’t seen on any other handset, The glass back is a rich Orange colour which reminds me of candy metallic cars you see in the states. The Metal frame is in a very reflective almost orange chrome finish which looks beautiful and something I haven’t seen before personally.
Next we have the Aurora blue, this shade is a gradient finish which starts off with a greenish tint above and then turns to a more darker blue towards the bottom of the phone. It has a almost wave like effect similar to the Aurora lights seen in certain parts of the world. The metal frame is a shiny light blue almost green colour way which suits the back perfectly.
Time for the traditional black which looks like liquid, it almost looks like chrome at certain angles, the finish is extremely glossy and reflective and seems to be pouring off the sides of the P30 Pro. The metal frame is similar to space grey in colour and is finished in matte for anyone who Doesn’t like the reflective look of the other coloured frames. Stunning in my opinion.
The last colour I had a chance to get hands on with is Breathing Crystal. This is again glossy and reflective and the colour gradient shifts from a pearlescent white at the top to a more blueish tinge at the bottom and looks really clean and fresh. The metal frame on this one is a shiny silver colour which is perfected suited to the back. Unfortunately, The Pearl White variant was not available to me when Filming this video but I have been told it is virtually white in colour with pink hues.
So there you have it, the choice is now yours, which colour version do you like the best? Let me know in the comments below
Very good colours on display and better (White) than s10+
I'm getting black... easy to put in a case without thinking twice about going case-less or clear case... I go the Huawei Silicon Case to match....

Three UK tell me the amber sunrise is delayed with no delivery dates... So I can't upgrade to the 512mb until after the Sonos deal is over! Terrible.... The P20Pro free headphone deal was a nightmare last time, and now they **** this one up!

Currys and CPW have also delayed the Amber Sunrise.
My choice was aurora. The greenish frame won me. I really liked the breathing crystal variant but that frame made me fall for the aurora one. I can only expect the amber sunrise to be extremely nice
