Hi all
I'm considering picking up the white version of the tablet, but note that the keyboard is only sold in black. I prefer the white tablet because my Xperia Z2 phone is also white, and because when using it outdoors, a white tablet is less likely to overheat because it reflects most of the heat from sunlight, rather than absorbing it as a black tablet would.
My concern, though, is that the white tablet and black keyboard together will look terrible, and I can't find a single photo in this configuration. Hence, I'd really like to see photos if you folks happen to find one, or if you buy this combination yourselves!
Thanks!
Belay that, I just found a video of this combination from a Japanese site:

Answer is, it looks pretty funky together...
Agreed.

I haven't seen a Tab in the flesh yet but I'm interested to know your views on the Tab colours, specifically the black and white models. Do either of them have drawbacks with regards to being easily marked, showing fingers prints, much or other?
Theaters no black model
Only colors are metallic grey and white
I personal got the white one and it looks fine

Maybe the black is just for the Euro versions?

White one has a clean surface on the back, the black (grey, dark, whatever) is structured. I prefer the structured back. It provides a little more grip and in my opinion it has a little higher quality feel to it than the white backcover. Fingerprints show much less on the grey model as it has no glossy finish.
But like it was said in the other "black or white" thread: If you spend much time looking at the color of your Galaxy Tab, you are using it wrong.
Oooops ... there another thread ....

Just bought my Galaxy Tab 10.1 from pc world in UK this morning & can confirm that it definately has a BLACK back.
Even better it is in a black rubberized soft touch material so holding it is a real pleasure. While I was there they had a white version on display which I was playing with & it felt a bit too plasticky & very slippery.
Hello all,
Really excited about the Xperia S, even though I'm still on the Arc S.
Just putting together a poll to see which one everyone thinks is better looking/planning on getting.
Not sure why this time, but I'm seriously considering the white Xperia S. Looks amazing. Never had a white phone before though but I'm really liking the anti stain coating.
I'm going for the white colour one cause it looks awesome with the black display and then the transparent element then there's the white stripe at the bottom with the xperia logo and the white colour stripe. that looks so awesome, you should go for the white colour.
Black just perfect

I've had a White HTC Hero for almost 2 years, so i'm going for a black phone now
seriously black just looks awesome on this phone
black for sure, as white looks girlish
I've always had black phones. My girlfriend have a Nexus S white and it's look very nice. Maybe this time i will try an Xperia s white.
All colors are good, as long as they are black
I think the white more attractive, but bother colors are good looking ))
P.S. XPS is already available for sale? Where?
I originally was after the white one as it looks better than the black imo, looks really nice. However after going to phones 4 u today and seeing both models9dummy models0 i notice that the white one actually attracts dirt alot not from me but from other people that were already looking at the dummy model and after seeing the videos about how the cover is dirt resistant i tried to rub it off only made matters worse actually the colur started turning to cream and on the edges of the phone i could clearly see that it looked worn out, so the white one is out of the question for me which is a shame as i was looking forward to getting that one. Black it will be though
At first i wanted the white one, but after i gave it some thoughts i preferred the black one as the contrast with the transparent bar is way better!
It's black for me.
just prefer it and love the way it looks.
That's the colour ive pre-ordered.
Looks-wise i definitely prefer the white one. But I fear that the white body will look worn out soon and lose all it's sexiness.

I was thinking about the white one, as I never had a white phone before, and my partner and I both ordered a Xperia S and didn't want to mix up the phones all the time :/.
But I went for black, because well...the black is rather nice, and it won't get noticeably dirty that easily.We just need to make sure to have seperate backgrounds or a hard case on one of the phones xD
For this phone in particular I found the black much nicer.
I have since I clapped eyes on this phone always been attracted to the white version. I have had many black phones over the years, so a white handset will be a welcome change.
After seeing the white dummy model in phones 4 u, it put me right off!
just seeing the dirt on it and whe you rub it the colour was changing.
I first thought I would get the white version, but after seeing some videos, the black version does look nice, in a 2001-monolith kind of way, and the transparent bar really shines in all this blackness.
Also it would color-match my old SE K800i
I just want a different White, more fashionable.
Oh，80% of my friends chose the white version . white looks sharp and shiny. but black outstanding more the transparent bar design.
I just exchanged my old note for a new one (would randomly power off when the phone was in my pocket or being moved around).
When I exchanged, I grabbed a white model instead of the black, as I remember reading somewhere that the white models were benchmarking higher for some reason. In my case this was totally true. The old phone benchmarked at 2650, the new one is now at 3200 on unrooted stock ROM (with the same config - apps, widgets, etc.).
Another random observation: the white s-pen is significantly lighter than the black one. I preferred the weight of the black pen. It's a minor issue, just strange that they would be so different.
I went through 2 black and end up with the white one at the end because of the back pixeled on the first one and the second had a pixel stay lid when the phone in sleep

Like a single pixel? Harsh. But kinda funny. I must have been lucky. Im on my first note and see no need to exchange.

Wow, I feel lucky too. First Note, really fast, no issues except some black crushing here and there.
I thought about exchanging my carbon blue for a white, just for aesthetics (the white one really is dead sexy). but going to the store and playing with one, i didn't like the light bleed and brightness of the buttons. also, i like the grippy back on the carbon blue one. plus i think it will show less wear and dirt over time.
but mostly after reading all these exchange posts, if i have a good one, i don't want to exchange for a bummer that i would have to take up on a warranty exchange. i only have one day left in my 30 day window!

I got the white one to replace my original black - I too think the white one is dead sexy. The back is definitely a better texture on the black one, but since those are all interchangeable parts, no big deal.
That said, given that some phones are working better than others, I agree - if you're happy with the performance of your current phone, you may not want to take a gamble on returning it for another.
I really thought it was an iffy choice when I bought the white one with a white flip cover, as I thought I might not like the white face of the device, seeing as I loved how the screen blends into the black face of my Infuse and Captivate. Two weeks later, I'm really impressed and I have adjusted to the white. The capacitive buttons were bugging me with how they bleed into the face of the phone, but I never liked them lit up anyways, so I just have them always off...I know where all four buttons are, so why do I need them lit up? Haha. I have gotten so many comments on how nice this phone looks it's getting annoying almost. I love promoting the Note, but let me use it in peace! Haha.

Great!!!!!
White is cool too, but I'd prefer black. Any way, Samsung note is a very excellent purchasing.
Lol I ended up exchanging my white model for a black. The white was nice and flashy but I prefer stealth while the white is sexy powerd on I find the black more sleek when turned off, if that makes sense lol.

The white looks awesome with the brown flip cover. I've got that and a frosted black Boxwave. I want an aluminum blue bumper w/ back shield now. I think that looks sweet with the white.
Hi all,
I'm comparing the screen colors of Sony Tablet S with same images or web pages with (for example) an "old" HTC HD2. Sony Tablet S colors are more pale, washed-out, faded. I also compared with samsung tablet.
I expected something more from sony.
Screen is all in a tablet.
Also brightness is lower (i have also removed the protection screen.
Which is your opinion?

The brightness is lower but a better light, because of the blacklight stuff it will
prevent sunlight to make your screen dark, you can use you tablet outside,
with Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 your screen goes almost black you can't see a
thing with the Sony Tablet S you can,
The worst part of the tablet is the sides, trying to pull out an sd it will, but its
hard, the sloppy plastic thing that must protect the usb and sd port for dust,
very dissapointing, easiest way is to cut it off the tablet but thats ugly so you
wont do something like that also the plastic on the back, not quite beautifull,
and yes the screen, it issn't made of gorilla glass so it is easy to break it, there
are a few points where other tablets has there better stuff, but about the
screen light, its allot more usefull outside then other tabs
Standard message xD > Dont mind my english

I've actually been really rather impressed with my Sony's screen in terms of colors, contrast and clarity, so I'm not sure if you perhaps have a dodgy unit. The brightness is certainly lower than the Samsung, but in my opinion the TruBlack display on the Sony is definitely clearer and has better colours than the Galaxy Tab. Just my 2 cents, naturally.

Hello.
I bought Salaxy S4 here in Europe but I have one problem from the beginning. When I look directly to the screen white and other colors looks great. But when I look to the screen just a very little more from the side white color get blue color in it. I know that viewing angles gives you different colors to the screen but on my S4 specially white color changes too quickly to my taste. I tested two S4 in two different shops and one have the same problem or even worst but second one looks a lot better. Anyone has this problem too? I am really disapointed and angry because this phone is expensive and colors of the screen looks different from the phone to the phone. It is like a lottery. I had S3 but I don't have this problem.
