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:

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..
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=Zjrv9-Botx8#!
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.

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,

Titanium Grey Galaxy S3 and NOTE have notification light (LED) defects. The LED does not show the correct colours due to the absence of a cut out of the grey material when the notification LED is. So the LED shines under the grey material which results in wrong colours being deployed and not being as bright. I own both a black and grey S3 and i can see a big difference in the brightness of the LED light. Also when for example a whatsapp message comes through, by default the notification colour is white, but the unfortunately its deployed light blue on the grey phone. Also yellow is displayed as green. This is my 2nd grey S3 and i have also tested a grey Note 2 with the same results.....
How can Samsung release phones like this ?
I don't think that's true for all. My grey note 2 is showing correct colors, and it's even brighter than my s3's as a matter of fact.

Would you be so kind to take a picture or video of your grey not 2 flashing white for me please ? Also from which country did you purchase it from and what colour is your S3 ? Thanks
Also when the notification light is OFF can you see it or is there no cut out in the grey frame . On my one there no cut out and its hardky visible unless its on or flashing
There is no cut out. And only visible when light is on. Mine is not the i9300 but i have the tit_grey i9305 and is exactly the same as my previous white i9300. The light is perfect
I think u may have a light issue on your device

This is the 2nd titanium grey i9300 i have owned, i also own a black one and used to own a white one. Also i have checked 3 grey note 2's at 2 different shops so i know what im talking about. Every single grey S3 or note 2 had the same thing. Please download from the play store a app called "LED tester". Then check the white,yellow and orange colours and get back to me. You should see the white shines like cyan (very light blue), the yellow as green and the orange also like green. Please get back to me and let me know. Thanks !

Yes, i already used this code (*#0*#) and yes RED, GREEN & BLUE are all working ( not as bright as the white,black,blue and red S3's that have the cut out. But the lighter mixed colours are the ones that dont work correctly on the grey phone. If you would like try this app (LED tester) on a grey S3 or Note 2 you will see what i mean.
i also have a standard white s3 in my house and it was mine previously there is no cut out where the led is,
And the led effects are the same.

I'm facing the same problem with my pebble blue s3. All colours except red, blue and green are more or less incorrect. Most of the colors infact show up as a mixture of two or three colours all appearing at the same time. It's such a disappointment to see all those lovely colors of lite flow not being displayed correctly.
Have you found out the solution to this problem yet? Is it even a fixable issue? I'd appreciate any help regarding this problem, as its driving me nuts. Thanks

As people have already said, none have a cut-out and the LED should be invisible when turned off. Don't know what gave you the impression to the contrary.
Not seeing it when it's off is, presumably, the whole idea of not having a cut-out.

Okay, let's leave this behind. Obviously that's not the problem.
So?
I have the same exact problem with my Grey Note 2....although I noticed something..the latest update for Light Manager fixed the problem completely and I now get correct colors... but my biggest problem now is with Whatsapp..if I don't add it to light manager it will still display wrong colors..and with light manager I can't configure the color for private messages or group messages..it's just one color for all which is not useful for me.

+1 I think this is cause by the opacity of the LED screen filter is too low so the color is not well combined before showing out its color And the color is spreading :crying:
I just bought my Lumia 920 yesterday morning and am liking it so far except for a few small annoyances. The main thing is the buttons on the bottom of the device have a yellow/green tint to them. Are they like this for anyone else or are they supposed to be bright white like on other phones? I have tried to get a good photo but can't and the AT&T salesperson said she can't see it. I was going to just exchange it for another one but they didn't have any more of the matte black ones in stock. I may check with a different store today to see if they have any in stock.

Thanks for the quick reply. I wonder if any of the other phones like the white or cyan have the same thing. For some reason the yellow is bugging me. I guess I am just used to the white lights since I just came from Android devices. I am way too picky LOL.
I have the white and mine is the same way.

My black one is the same. On Android phones the buttons are white whereas the 920 has a chrome overlay. I wonder if it's the chrome that causes the yellow color?

How is the yellow tint compared to the Lumia 800? Is it yellower?
I like it. It keeps the brightness down to a manageable level. I had the GSIII before this and the brightness of the keys was one reason I rooted and put AOKP on to turn those off permanently.

Same on my black 920. Looking at my wife's 820 hers are brighter when lit and are properly white when the phone is off. On the 920 they are silvered. This must be why they shine a bit yellow when lit.

Ditto. I just checked my wife's 820 and they're white as well.
100% normal
just like my NL900
In all honesty, white LEDs hurt my eyes at night because they're so bright. Even though white looks better, yellow is much more comfortable to look at.
Just a guess but it may have to do with the metallic nature of the screen over thr three buttons. The white led changes color shining through it. I'm slowly getting used to the off-white hue and not bothering me anymore.
I have a black matte colored version of the 920

and mine are tinted slightly yellow as well but there is no green hue to it. On my Samsung Focus S they are pure white though, almost blindingly so compared to the Lumia 920. Not sure which I like better but I am leaning towards blinding white since it looks more natural to me. The yellow will take some getting use to.
I'll get over it.

Hmmmm you were able to turn them off permanently on stock as well.
I think the reason why they have an Yellowish tint is due to the metallic / shiny mirror look they have when they are not lit up.
If you look at the 900, they don't have this finish, they are plain white.

Mine black 920 has white chome. No form of tint unless I have it angles to reflect light from my yellow lightbulb.
I've been wondering this ever since I checked out the LED on my S3.
I've had the GNexus before this and it appears that both these phones (GNexus and S3) have the same LED module.
However, the S3 isn't able to display most of the colors that the GNexus can. I can only think of one reason for that: Drivers.
I was wondering if some dev here can look into this and post here. I'm sure we'd all love to have access to all those colors!

Now lightflow itself fails to produce most of the colors accurately (other than red blue green).

I read in the LED Tester App reviews that the Tmobile GS3 can produce most of the colors accurately. For example one guy says that he can get PINK displayed correctly. For me, it appears as a rainbow-ish white lol

Just explored this option.
Yep, we have terrible LED colours.
But then I use a few basic colours: White, Red, Green, Darkas**** Blue and my notifications are sorted out.
Can you guys try and bring this to some good devs attention?
Im sure this can be fixed with a lil programming magic.
Phew! I thought that my notification light was busted or something!
If you go to GO SMS settings and change the colour, it doesn't appear as it should! Red, Blue, and Green are perfect! The rest of the colours aren't perfect. In fact, it looks like there's a bit of blue mixed into most of them. It is very annoying and it makes the colours purple.
