Carbon blue, white looks feminine

it's such a tough call. At first I was thinking "save the white for the fan boys", but after seeing the white today..... man is the white solid.
The Carbon Blue looks close enough to black so I'll say black. I'm not creative so I could never have a white phone...(a pun off the Samsung video) so do not flame me...
White..

Coming from a white iPhone 4s I choose black (carbon blue) this time
The white makes it look bigger than it is already! Went with Blue!
I was set on blue until I saw the white...game over!!

I'm getting a white one. All my others have been black. I figured it was time for a change. Hope not to regret getting the white instead of the carbon blue one.

I had the white skyrocket and it looked great so yea I'm going with the white
I went with Carbon Blue, it's more uniformed and blends in better.
White!!! I had a white vivid, it broke, insurance sent me black so I've been missing a white phone

Looks great in White but have to wait until sunday
Have a black vivid. Wanted the white but couldn't find one. I pre-ordered a white Note.
I went with white to try and tone down some of my manlyness (word?)
The white makes it look bigger than it is already! so i went with it
Going for white. I've seen both the black and white at CES, and the white just looks more exotic if you know what I mean. Everyone has black phones, so why not white? Also, it makes the phone look a little more sleek and modern and more expensive.
Ceramic White FTW!
What do you guys like better? A white one or the black one?

Depends on what you like best, I hear the white ones get small hair cracks in it, but that's just hearsay, just do some research.

I had the black one and switched to the white one and I like the white one better. Its more classy

White is a girl's phone color. To me, when the screen is off, the white phone looks like crap...white on the bottom and top and a big black screen. You don't have that issue with a black phone.

White for me. I dont think its a girls phone. It attracts alot of attention. Only downside is the zagg protector yellows after a while :-/

I always thought the two color choices were white and carbon blue... Where are you guys finding a black one at?

Love the grippy back on the black phone. Plus I think it will show less wear and tear over time than white\chrome. Also, when trying to decide, the light bleed on the buttons on the white phone really irritated me. So I went with black (to the poster above, Carbon Blue is black. there is nothing blue about it).
To each their own, don't want to be part of a flame war. It was just what led me to the decision (which I assume is what the OP is trying to do).
Had the black Note for about 3 weeks, then traded it for a white one. I've always had black phones and just wanted to switch it up. The white phone just looks fresh to me. I've got an Elago slim case and a SGP oleophobic screen protector on, so I'm not really worried about it getting dirty.
My note is black, my case is black, my headphones are black. But in the end it's just a color (or lack thereof depending on your perception). If they only offered just white, I would have got that and been just as happy. I say get the one you think is pretty and you'll be fine

I got the white note and have the brown flip case... Looks like a journal when i take it out of my pocket. I like the looks of the white and got a glas.t so no yellowing like with the zagg.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
I like the white in theory, but as others noted (ha) the contrast of the black screen against the white case is a little stark, especially when the screen is so big.
The trim cracking is also a concern, so when I exchanged my carbon blue I stayed with that color. I recently helped my mom upgrade to a new iPhone and we got her a white one - she's quite happy with that, although black or dark cases on it look quite weird. My Note with a cheapo black TPU case looks excellent.
Everybody has black phones. So I went white. It's pretty
I had the white one. To be honest it looked like a big bar of soap. I like my black one better now
Sent from my SGH-I717D using xda premium
I don't like that the white one has a glossy back battery cover. The black looks nice when screen is off and I like the texture of black's battery door.
I have a hair line split on my white note, but the translucent cases look nice on the White Phone.
When did Samsung release a black version?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk 2 Beta-5
The black people are referring to is the carbon blue model, because the front face is actually black, and the back cover is basically black, with maybe a tiny tiny hint of blue in the right lighting. Easier to say black than carbon blue.

Love my white one. Using ghost armor on it and get a lot of compliments. The phone attracts attention to matter what because of the size, but white slightly more. That can be both good and bad, up to u

I'm well aware that it's Carbon Blue and not black. Just poking some fun at those calling it the wrong color.

I really want to exchange this phone for a white one when they are available - I paid almost $700 and do not want to pay the $75 restocking fee to exchange it. I ran Dead Pixel Tester and found 2 dead or stuck pixels. Will they let me exchange it for a NEW white phone if I complain to retention? Any ideas?
Damn that sucks.

They should. It's a manufacturing defect.

They should but I don't know about switching the color.
There will exchange it but not for another color.

Same here.
on the 27th.
I was mad when I found out the white s3 wouldn't ship till later. I bit the bullet and bought the blue one and I was surprised because the blue ain't bad at all, I actually like it and it looks like the whole phone is brushed metal.

I actually like the blue...it's much better looking in real life than the pictures made out to look...its kinda got a gunmetal look to it that I am digging...but definitely a finger print magnet for the back cover though.

That's exactly what I thought. I went into the store telling myself I wouldn't buy it if they didn't have the white one because I'd seen the promo pictures and didn't like it as much. Then I saw a guy with a blue one outside the store and it totally changed my mind. It's much more reserved than what I expect the white one to look like. The blue isn't overwhelming and blends nicely with the lighter blue on the edges.

Cause you could be mistaken for this with a white one
The white on plastic phones has a tendency to turn blue if you wear jeans. Just a warning.
Also, my Blue one looks AMAZING! It isn't near as blue as pictures make it look, more of a titanium.
Yeah I didn't like the blue at first, but now that I have it, it's beautiful.
been drinking whiskey for the last hour...so i'm sorry. but i'm also not sorry.
either way....enjoy this piece i just made:

Titanium Grey, as it's the closest to black that I can get. I like dark colors. I'll probably get a Ballistic case in black and white to go over it, though.
Going with the marble white this time around. All of my previous phones have been black or gray, figure I'd mix it up this time.
I had a marble white s3 and it felt kind of cheap so this time around im going with the grey. Also running AOSP roms on the white s3 looked out of place with the dark theme of AOSP.
Grey... Prefer dark also. More "discreet" LOL like the note 2 could possibly be discreet.

Titanium Grey all the way. I'm not a fan of white phones.
White. Pretty much all of my portable electronics are black, so I thought it'd be nice to go with a lighter color this time around.
Has white become the "norm" because I want my device to be different. I travel A LOT and when with my S3, I used Google wallet. I had a IPhone Guy behind order his food and asked me " What is that? So cool." I said Google Wallet with NFC. He said "man, I want that phone now, let's trade" *we lol* And I also don't want my Note 2 to look Like someone else's note 2 with it being white..... or titanium grey

Going with white. Its beautiful.

I just came from Best Buy and wanted to pre order the Titanium, but I could only order white through BB. They told me they may not get Titanium but Idk. After thinking about it on the way home I already have the ringke slim black case and think it may look good with white. Thoughts? Btw they said 11/27 is the expected date for pre order pick up.

Titanium Grey hides the wear and tear better that white. So Titanium Grey is for me. But both colors look very classy.
Titanium Grey for me. I like the White, but am worried about more visible wear and tear as the post above mentioned. My daughter got a washable marker on my white iPad, and while most of the mark came off, There is still a small smudge that drives me nuts.

You can easily buy a new home button. It really isn't that ugly.
Titanium grey all the way. White just isn't as sharp looking imo.
I pre-ordered grey, but I'll probably end up doing something custom to the back.
I don't know if I want to keep my white or go with the Grey. opinions are welcome. Which one looks better, white or Grey? Thanks for the help.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda premium
It's all preference.
I liked the grey better, but that was because of the home button. The white didn't match in my eyes.
If you're looking to switch, may want to hold off because word is, a black version is coming out soon.
What he said ^^.. My daughter has the white one and I have the grey one. I personally like the grey better but she likes the white better. All preference.

It's a known fact that the grey one is faster, gets better reception and will not break if you drop it!!
Ok, none of that is true, but it is true that the grey one looks better!!
Ok, that isn't true either (for a lot of folks)!
But if you are asking for opinions, then mine is. . . GREY!!
I suggest you go to a store and hold both phones. Then pick the one you like best and buy it.
Good luck.
The grey looks less cheap, will hide dirt better, and the gd button doesn't stand out as much.
The white flip cover gets dirty on the inside of the cover quite quickly. The white however may lend itself better to the new coloured flip covers that are available. I don't know if grey and pastel-orange or blue will look so good.
I went with Grey. I had the white galaxy s3 and if you have a screen protector on the phone it starts looking dirty after awhile due to finger oil/dirt that happens to rub off.
Can't go wrong with either though.

I came to say similar things about the white one, lol.
I got a tpu hybrid case & it has black and clear parts to it, so it really looks nice over the white GNote, even if it wasn't I love the look of white on this, it really makes it pop
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda premium
I prefer grey. Looks better. But my sgs3 was white. Lol
I got the grey simply because it almost blends the VZW logo in with the phone; you don't see it as much. Also, there are going to be a lot more cases that will be black as opposed to white, and unless you like serious contrasting colors, most cases will match the dark grey of the Note as opposed to the white color. Hope this helps.
I got the white one. And I tell everyone I meet that I'm on a verizon plan.

I prefer the gray version. My S III was white (and it was my first white phone) and while it's a nice look, I just feel that the gray looks better on the Note II.
