So as we all may know, the black Galaxy s 3 was recently released for Verizon. I have 2 options right now
1.) get the pebble Blue galaxy s 3 today
2.) wait about 7 days to get the black gs3
So my main question is right now is there a huge difference between the two colors? I know that in some lighting the blue actually does look black at times and as for the onyx black Galaxy s 3 I never exactly seen it in person yet. Any suggestions?
I suggest u buy the black one and ill trade u my blue one lol
But seriously, I got mine 1month ago, had I known the black one was coming I would have waited. Just my 2cents

Are you going to put a case on it? If so, the blue is fine. If not, the blue looks awful purple.
I like the brown...looks like wood grain to me.
My blue just looks black in the TPU case...except the volume and power buttons...those look purple. :/

man, i really like the brown one in pics too! i thought i was the only one.
for the OP, the blue looks really cool. however, the purple-ish home button does bother some people, and it does limit your cases a little, if you care about colors clashing. that said, i personally would go with the blue over the black, but it's your phone and you'll have to look at it all the time.
also, a lot of the time, the blue does look black, or at least a dark navy blue. it mainly pops under more direct light when you can see the graining pattern

Yep pretty much what you said. Im fine with that purple home button look. Its just a color on a phone. People complain too much.
I just ordered the blue one. I was thinking about getting black but then something dawned on me. Every phone I've owned has been black. Well, except the Nexus One, but that's mainly because it was made of aluminum (hence it was grey). The reason every other phone I've owned was black was because they were only offered in that color. I decided it was time for a change! Besides, blue is my favorite color anyway. Although, I'll probably end up putting a black case on it...
Wow, this is why there is a choice I guess.
I probably would have gone with black if it was available at the time instead of blue, but I kinda like my blue one.
On the other hand, I think the blow lunch brown is so ugly that if that was the only color it came in I might have gone for an entirely different phone.lol

By The way, I have no case and a deep red Hyperion battery cover with the 4000+ extended battery.
is the titanium silver a myth? that one looks the best IMO...

I already have the Blue one, i like it a lot, i don't really notice the "purple" home button... only time i see it is when i have my thumb over it really anyway so it's pretty well covered up. Even when using my phone i'm not looking down at the hardware buttons, i'm looking at the keyboard, picture, game, phone dial buttons, video chat, movie, etc. Only time i even really notice the color is when i'm playing music and my phone's sitting on my desk next to my kb/mouse upside down and even then, i mostly just note how many finger prints are on it rather than the color. I haven't used a case sense the original TPU case messed up my first screen protector, ever since it's been naked and hasn't a scratch on it. Pretty tough freakin' phone tbh.
I was looking at the black one at the verizon store and they used the same purple home button as the blue one. That's very sad of Samsung

My brother owns a black samsung galaxy s3 and it has to be one of the sexiest phones in the market. He bought blue first but exchanged it with black after two days. If you put a case on your phone, the color of the phone will hardly matter. But if you intend to use it without a case, you could not do better than black.
I think the blue is hideous! I'd go with black or brown. The brown looks amazing in person.

They do not use a blue home button on the black S3. You must have been looking at a blue one in bad lighting.

Anyone here have a tough time deciding which color to get? I chose the white but am still not sure yet if I should have a chosen the grey. I love the look of the white phone from the back, but the grey looks really good with anything black on the screen (keyboard, apps with mostly black ui, music player & Pandora). Also, which really made me ultimately choose the white is some people are reporting that if the grey phone gets scuffed it wears out the finish and your can see glossy marks.
This was a hard decision for me. It makes it that much harder that I have severe OCD
So did you guys have to make a decision on which one to get or did you have your heart set on a white or grey one from the beginning? Just curious.
I decided to get the white one. They had plenty of grey ones in stock but I decided to wait for the white one since they were sold out. Should be picking it up tomorrow.

I was in the AT&T store for literally 2 hours deciding which one to get. A few employees there thought it was hilarious lol. I ended up with the grey one. While I do think the white one is sexy as hell, I think over time it will get marked up more than the grey, especially since I don't like using a case except for when I'm at work. I still have 27 days to decide but I'll most likely stick with grey, which I still think is bad ass looking. Lets face it, we have hands down the best looking phone out right now no matter which color it is.
Yea I got pretty lucky. There are like 7-8 AT&T stores within like 30 miles of where I live and every one was sold old except for two. One had like 2-3 grey ones but no white and the other, it was odd, had a pretty good stock of both.
I too took forever trying to decide, but went with the white.
It's dead sexy!!!!!
Took my white one back Fri. and picked up the grey one. I too don't use a case and was afraid of it getting too dirty.
I went with the grey after seeing the amount of staining from blue jeans with the white model.

White all the way..took a little decision making lol but I've always had black or grey..and with bodyguards full body skin I don't think it will ever get dingy or dirty or scratched lol

I went with the grey.
* I don't use a case (was afraid white would dirty)
* grey seemed more manly
* white seems just trendy
* white reminds me of iPhone or Apple devices
* white looks more like a plastic toy than a serious piece of tech
* white makes the phone look bigger - grey looks slender
Don't get me wrong it still was a tough decision for me. I liked how the white accentuated the curved screen edges.

I loved my white 4s and now I love my white one x
Had a white iPhone 4S for a long time. The white is extremely distracting to me, granted the white One X doesn't include the glass, but I just enjoyed how the camera's ring of plastic and the HTC logo were closer in color than the contrast of the silver/white thing going on with the white model, even though to me from the side the white model looked liked this car: http://images.psxextreme.com/wallpapers/ps3/white_lamborghini_615.jpg
Still, dark grey just felt like more of my thing.
i went with the grey One X, i was contemplating on getting the white one but the screen surround on the white one was black which was a bit of a turn off imo
So I went with the grey since the screen surround matched the grey better then the white.
Being that I got my mother and fiance a white one recently, it was almost my duty to go grey. It seems like grey will be the less popular color and it looks great with the matte finish. The sides of the white were much more noticeably shiney than on the grey model.

Normally I go with black phones, this is the first phone I've been even remotely interested in getting in white. So I did. I'm crossing my fingers that it won't get too dirty - or worse yet stained - because I don't use a case, but I've heard that polycarbonate casings are pretty easy to clean so I have my hopes up.
If it starts to get dirty and dingy I'll get a case lol
White was a no brainer for me. My only issue is my OCD with cases now, most cases look better with the grey one cept the speck candyshell that came white but i hated it as well
Why cant otterbox commuter make a white version of their case? I hate the white trim showing and not making the overall look cohesive

Not to be an ass, but if you're really particular about things, it doesn't mean that you have OCD.
As someone who has a sibling who is truly very affected by OCD and whose mom is a psychologist, I've learned that OCD is not being particular about things. It's doing irrational things like twisting doorknobs a certain way or having to touch things in a certain way before you can pick them off of a store shelf. It's all about routines and being afraid of what happens if you don't follow those routines, not being picky about your gadgets.
Which one looks nice the gray or the white and why ????
Which color do you like more? No one else can answer that for you. I got the white mostly because I ordered the unlocked gsm version and that was the only color but I like it.

I like both but which one do you think have the more expensive look and feel among the two.
I got the White since almost every tablet is dark in color.... And I wanted to be different. :victory:
Having owned a white Samsung Epic 4G Touch, let me warn you on the white. Samsung uses soft plastic and it get's easily stained.
I have the dark graphite model and will not show dirt (other than finger oil smudges).
I got dark grey so I wouldn't be mistaken for an iPad d-bag.
White is the new generic color. White to most = iPad. My Note phone is white and I'm not a huge fan. I've actually been thinking about getting rid of it for something smaller.

The bezel on the white note looks bigger because of its color but the only thing i like about the white is that it has a glossy texture which makes it feel more expensive than the gray or is it the opposite?

That sounds a little bit racist! Obviously not meant to be, but it just immediately made me think of someone saying "My wife, now she don't like them whites!" Good laughs.
To the point though, I have a Galaxy Player and I really like the white on it. However, the front is black so it tones it down. I've been looking for white note 10.1s , but they're going fast, or there weren't as many. I may just go dark grey so I can get it from Newegg now. Online shopping, no tax but you can't trade it in as easily if you made the wrong choice.

I've had a white e-reader and it was a mistake - white border makes the screen look worse somehow. On LCD it might not be such issue though because it's brighter.
I bought the gray - really like it. I'm not into the white because of the finger-stain possibility. At least to my eyes, the gray looks fairly classy (although as someone else stated, it doesn't really make it stand out from the crowd....).
I got the deep grey because to me it looks nicer, is probably less prone to getting dirty and isn't mistaken for a white Apple dumbPad.

Sorry I was wrong. Ugly dots aka carbon fiber esque on both colours makes me want to puke. A disgrace to all designers worldwide. Either way, it's ugly. May the ugliest colour dominate them all. As I would say, let plastic be plastic. Don't imitate other materials.
I think I might do the white one and get a lightweight case that's colored. Not sure yet. I definitely like the white over the black though.

Black would have been even better if they had a grey one again.

Same. My wife had a baby pink RAZR that she couldn't get rid of
Red here, went in for a black but they were out so at the time I was bummed but its really grown on me.
The red will have the lowest re-sale value. Many red S3 owners couldn't get a lot for their devices when they tried to sell them.
I would like to know if AT&T will be getting the S4 in Arctic blue?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2324587
coming from a red international S3, I opted for black s4, since my wife got the white s4. Plus the only model of s4 with 32gb internal memory was black
I opted for the Red one myself. I actually really like it -- prefer to be a little different
I had 2 red's but am returning them for the Active. The red is a very nice professional looking color. But I always put cases on my phone anyway. I had a black Ballistic HC case with a Sith wallpaper...it looks awesome.

It's just a slight off white, but it's not yellowed by any means. First your picture is quite yellow, also the case may change the white a bit, looking near the camera, your phone looks white to me.
Also, that IMEI on the back of your phone is just a sticker, you can take that off.
Looks fine to me. I think the clear case you have is probably making it look less white, but that looks no different then anyone else's.
