looks like i can order from Amazon.fr!

Black, golden and silver in Russia lol

I'm faced with the same dilemma few days ago. Went to a store and played around with the display unit I thought its SILVER, then I asked regarding when silver will arrive non of the salesperson manage to give me any convincing answers. So I pointed out why was there a silver display unit when there's no plans to bring the colour in, that's when I found out I've been fondling with the gold unit.
Came back to the store a few times to take a look at it and I'm convinced its actually a nice colour, gold in certain lighting conditions and appearing slightly silver sometimes. Decide to just skip silver and preorder the gold instead, the free Gear VR is just too enticing to give up.

i have a gold S6 Edge plus so i really wanted silver

Right. I wanted gold so I went to look at it in the store and actually was convinced they didn't carry the gold one because it looks so damn silver. The gold only looks gold in certain light. The rest of the time the damn thing is silver. So if your pissed about not getting the silver option in your country, well, you kind of did.

This thread has "first-world problems" written all over it. It's amazing how much angst the color of a phone can cause in this generation.

It's not the end of the world. Black looks best imo.

Well. Aus has silver bahahaha. mines coming in march 11 cant wait!

I skipped silver in aus got myself a black edge s7 hurry up Friday

I totally agree. I would have ordered the silver one too since white is not available. Instead I ordered Black but it doesn't look as good

OMG the US doesn't have white, it's the end of the world........
Wait just remembered, they make these things called cases lol
Really I would have bought white, but they don't sell it here so I was going to get silver, but found out it's sold out so ended up with black.

I badly wanted silver too (also UK). Oh well, not the end of the world, though I am disappointed.

I really do not understand the logic behind launching different colours in different countries. Can anyone explain possible commercial/marketing reasons for this?

Limited availability of colors.
Hype
Exclusivity means someone had to pay to get the exclusive (US carriers for silver, etc).
Sent from my SM-T710 using Tapatalk

I saw a gold one in person, it looks very ugly because of the glass on top of it, it is very shiny and the golden shade is not very well chosen. I suspect (from the videos I have seen) that the silver is also too shiny and the glass on top makes it worse. I think black (or white) is best for long-term ownership. The silver should have been a matte subdued shade but it is not.

Problem is they provide no protection for the top & bottom of phone.

the other cases have a better feel

Hi,
I believe he orders directly from the manufacturers, not G market.
He told me to ask what price in pounds would everyone be willing to pay for these mesh cases and possible the SGP slider cases?
Thanks!
ok cool no worries i think around a tenna cause its that price from the korea's
Anyone got any more experience of the Cae-Mate Tough Case? Looks like the kind of thing I need (I'm notoriously cack-handed!) but worried it bulks the phone out too much. Are they pocketable (jeans) or are you resigned to jacket pockets and manbags only?
I have bought the black one - very good quality - really recommend to all!
I bought a red one of these for a slightly different look in actual life the red colour is a metalic cherry red not the bright red in the pic. Get 2 free screen protectors as well which is cool.

JUST GOT one of these from ebay. The quality of the material is excellent.
but they have 2 major flaws preventing them to be useful
1)The surface of this case is smooth , so still has difficulty holding the phone.
2)keeping this phone on the back on table, you will miss most calls, as the speaker is almost completely covered in this position.
if these two flaws are corrected we have a killer case.

[Q] battery cover and lower cover

So I just received my replacement battery cover and noticed something off. what I'm curious to know is.... Is black the original color of these pieces and over time they've turned to a grayish or what?
That definitely looks darker than a normal Nexus one case. Looks pretty sweet too
oh yeah i think it looks much better too. i just cant find my camera right now to take a pic of it on the phone.
Where did you get the replacement covers from? HTC
Looks awesome!!!!
And I don't think black was the original color the nexus shipped with. Does the black one feel any different from the other
got them on ebay just read the "fine print" but none the less a great buy. heres the item number you can search for it to get the sellers name. (250720686769) 2 day free shipping and brand new quality. and to answer your other question it seems a bit tackier.
LINK TO EBAY STORE TO BUY THESE then just search for NEXUS ONE.
"fine print"
Original & Refurbished:All of the parts are original but not 100% brand new. We refurbish it from original phone and resell it. The product quality has been tested and worked before we ship. It looks brand new when you receive it.
If the product doesn't meet your expectation, please return to us for full refund. Customer is responsible for the returning fee and the returned item must be kept in good condition.
I would say its top quality.
Thank you very much haha
-There is a 35% chance that right now I'm on the toilet-
I very much doubt they are original parts, given that they're the wrong colour, but they look pretty decent none the less.
Probably not OEM but it looks great, I just picked up a white battery/antenna cover that isn't oem but also looks great

[Q] Clove UK ?

Okay, I'm planning on ordering the HOS from Clove UK, but unlike all the other sites, there happens to be only one listing for it.
I want the Black MAO one, the pictures on the site show a black model but I'm still a little paranoid about it.
Anybody else that ordered from Clove? Which one did you get?

Just contact them (call/mail) to confirm its black. If its not - tell them go get one
I bought my One S from Clove. I emailed them before buying it to confirm the colour, and that the black one is the MAO finish (got confused by some of the previews I had been reading). They were quite helpful, and were very responsive over Twitter
So, just to be totally clear, Clove has the black MAO? I havent received a reply from them and my patience is running thin.
I can't wait to get it now. I had such a hard time deciding between X or S it almost drove me to an existential crisis.

Cheapest price in the UK?

I have finally made my decision as to which tablet to buy - yep you guessed it the TF300T. It's exactly what I am after in terms of spec/price. I was hoping for some advice as to the best place to buy from (I am in the UK). Not fussed about the dock so hopefully I can find one cheaper without? Ideally the white one but from what I can tell it's not readily available here. Any suggestions?

Thanks, I have also found it for £330 delivered from Pixmania (most likely be an EU version, not a problem for me becasue the first thing I will be doing is unlocking it!), which is for the tablet only, no dock. I really don't see myself using the dock all that much in any case.
edit: Should have mentioned it is the blue version.

Good price but in my opinion the dock is worth the extra £50, if anything for the fact it acts as a stand and the extended battery, plus the fact of the expansion ports.

Nice! Ordered, and to think I started with a budget of £250 for a Galaxy Tab 2 !!
I bought mine from pixmania too. Paid about 380 I think but got 12 quid off through quidco.
The dock is definitely worth it IMHO. The extra battery, ports and the fact that it acts like a case when you aren't using the tablet are great. You'll be surprised.

I went for white in the end. I am still not sure I did the right thing as I doubt I will use the dock. I just keep having that feeling that maybe I should of got the Tab 2 10.1 for £250. I'll probably change my mind once it comes.
Is the screen really as dim as people say in reviews?

The screen is a little dim yes. But to be honest if you don't want to use it outdoors then it shouldn't be an issue. The only time i have wanted a brighter screen is in work as for some reason the fluorescent lights in my office make the screen a little hard to see, but nothing I can't live with. It has so much going for it that I can live with a slightly dim screen. Obviously ymmv.

I played with one in a Comet store and as a result I have cancelled my order. It is a great tablet and I can see the merits of having a keyboard however once the keyboard is attached it's almost the same weight as my 11" Lenovo. I can't see myself choosing it over that. I think for some this would be a great device but for me I found the screen lacking a little and a little heavy.
It's a great tablet but just not for me. Shame.
Do people think there's going to be a price drop on the tf300 after the tf700 is released in the uk on the 31st of August?
Although it seems that only Amazon are going to stock it.

Moto Maker Anyone?

Anyone here going to customize their Moto G? Ill probably pick one up if the camera reviews are at least decent.

It does seem hard to justify such price differences. Higher taxes????
The 16 gig one will be $220 before taxes here in the US.
So for Sprint, it says prepaid. I am guessing buying from Motomaker, there is still no chance of activating on sprint postpaid. Does anyone know?
I know with the 1st gen Moto G, if you ordered it from Motorola it was the GSM version. You had to get the CDMA version from the retailers selling them (Boost, Verizon prepaid, etc). I guess that things could change for the 3rd gen.
Ordered 16gb black on black with champagne accent USA
All white 2/16 with the stupid chrome accent, which i will cover with something and hide under the case cutout, if i keep this phone. I prefer the entire back covered with cutouts only for camera and flash. No need for useless accents and dimples. Both 1/8 and 2/16 overpriced. $235.39 with tax.

If you're a gamer, you won't be able to take it.
If not, you will be fine.
ordered mine on launch day, 16/2 white front, navy back champagne accents. it shipped out yesterday night and will be here tuesday!
it's a in between device for me as i wait for the 2015 Moto X, but i'm curious as well to see how it handles. i game, but not a ton and can lay off for a couple months. i'm mostly concerned with daily tasks (web browsing, email, messaging, facebook) and jumping between those tasks.
it's going to be my first non-flagship device as well
I`m moved form Xperia Z3 compact to Moto G 3rd gen, just to test a little bit and maybe this will by my daily phone.
