Anybody have any info on whether the other colors will be coming soon? I have the blue one I bought from best buy, but really wanted a white version....so i can return mine within the 30 day period and get the white one lol
if they haven't released colors for the previous models yet, i doubt they ever will for any of them.
Everyone is getting them in june....but white in plastic looks cheap...havent u seen the sprint galasy s2 ??

I've got a sneaking supicion that the textured ridges on the back of the tablet might trap dirt and make the white model look pretty ratty after a while.
At any rate, taht's what I told myself in order to justify buying the blue one instead of sitting around waiting for the wihte one to come out.

very true! I wonder why they like to flaunt different colors and then never release them to the US!? SMH
Red and blue would be the best bets. The white fades and scuffs easily. I imagine the ridges would show a lot of dust/dirt as well.
Bestbuy isn't great at carrying alternate colors unless its something exclusive to them. I doubt they will have them. The time table last i heard for them to come out was in late June.

I know that people are saying we will see new colors in June, but does anyone know the exact date?
And as a aside, anyone know the est. release of the 700 series?

I like the Blue TF300, but white isn't always cheap looking, my Galaxy Note i717 looks pretty darn sexy in White and Chrome.

Don't you think if people knew the exact dates, they'd post them?
There hasn't been any dates announced by Asus. Since the release of the blue TF300, June has been the expected time frame for the release of the red and white versions, but nothing is certain on that. As for the TF700, summer or early fall are the main rumors I've heard, but again, no exact dates.

They must be getting them in store sooner than online, see this-
"Backordered: Expected to ship within 7-30 days
Estimate Arrival Time
Store Pickup:
Order today, pick up on:
SANTA ROSA CA - – Pick up in 5 to 7 days"
Unless their store pick up is just messed up. Santa Rosa is the nearest BB to me, they're 70 miles south.

Thanks, I seen the red this morning myself, none available in any stores near me yet, just online for now.....I think ill be returning my blue for the red, the one I have now has light bleed on all 4 sides, and my keyboard dock looks like it might have been refurbished or something because the part that connects the tablet to the dock is a different color like a light blue than the tab and the rest of the dock itself....weird.....

Got ya, I should be making the trade next week, but if they arent in the store by then i'll have to order it and wait the 5 days....

Seems as if there will be an LTE version coming next month?

Getting mine on Friday, definitely want a white one over a blue one, but need the keyboard as well.... here's hoping they'll be out in Red, White, AND Blue before the 4th of July!
Why Samsung uses white background for settings and multiwindow bar when they know the amoled screen prefer black.
I think they will not use amoled again for the next flagship, or some version of s4 will not use amoled. They want us to get used first with white background.
What do you think guys.

HTC uses black backgrounds... that must mean they are going to switch to AMOLED screens!
Fact is, Samsung used white backgrounds on the Galaxy II, Galaxy III, and now the IV. So..... You're no Sherlock Holmes.
Samsung didn't use white backgrounds on Galaxy SIII or SII
They've done that for a long time...

Samsung hasn't used a white theme for AMOLED devices so far.

Exactly. My S2 used black backgrounds, and if I end up getting an S4 I want them to remain black.
Isn't that's why we install themed costumized roms...? Most market apps use white bg... I always mod all apps before installing them to keep my phone fully inverted...

It is not logical changing from black to white for amoled screen. Why they want to sacrifice battery (although very little) and make the settings not more compelling (black background looks fantastic in amoled, it makes infinite contrast)

Skip to 1:10..
The pre-production units that were on display at Samsung's event, all used white backgrounds for settings.
The final units might use black.
If its white im not buying! Hah just kidding
2:10 and 2:20 and a lot of other places ... black :good:

Good link.
I wonder is there any option to change menu colour between black and white? We have seen both white and black option, maybe they can include an option to change the menu colour.

This is what I was thinking. I mean Samsung allows you to customize the lock screen and messaging app, so they probably allow you to change the color of the settings and such.

Mmm, interesting. I think that all we've already seen are pre-production units. The final version will be black bakground (in my opinion)

This video still shows white settings menus. Hopefully someone can REALLY clarify it soon.
To me the choose is turkish or yellow, i cant decide, but i bought yellow
You?
EDIT for turikish i meant turquoise, im sorry!
What is "turkish"? Perhaps you mean Turquoise?
yes im totally sorry!
I am thinking a royal blue back cover...with some orangey or similar grip shell.....Eat your heart out Moto X with just one customisation per device!
Shouldn't this go in the Accessories section? :\
for me .. Red!
Any idea when will they be back online for sale

It would be so awesome if there was a red/black combo
Sent from my XT1034 using Tapatalk
Vivid red for me. The red back and a black front makes it look like a Ferrari..
I always use a case so pointless me getting one but if i did my choice would be blue.
If only my black shell had the Motorola logo in silver, I'd use it no matter what. Working on get one through customer support! Using white in the meantime.
Yesterday I took the yellow grip shell from amazon.it
Just curious if anyone knows when it will be released for this color variant. I'm seeing articles about it but not a release date. Will it be at launch, or later? All I know is it's a U.S. exclusive for now. Can anyone chime in? Thanks.
Its the color I wanted too. Oh well, I preordered the grey

I bet it is only going to be offered in the USA as an unlocked model.
Ian B
From what I know the only colors for the US are. Silver, black and orchid gray
At launch, the US will only get Midnight Black, Arctic Silver, and Orchid Gray. I've heard that the Coral Blue might be an exclusive unlocked model when I asked about that color at Best Buy, but no confirmation on that. All I know about the unlocked variant is that it should come out in May or somewhere around there.
went to bb to get one for my girlfriend and they said they are not selling them b/c of a problem , they never said what the problem was
I work at Best Buy, July 21st

Initially, for a month only Gold and black versions were available. Coral Blue is available for S8+ only here in INDIA. Trust me it looks fantastic. And the color shades change/look different from different viewing angles. You can never go wrong with Croal blue/Orchid Grey. These look much better than the Midnight Black and Maple Gold versions.
I intend to buy the blue version :good::victory:. And I know I am not alone... Since it is the best color, almost everyone will buy it.
The problem is, I dont want to buy the Phone on day one ..because I first want to wait for reviews\tests\comparisons , AND want to see on this forum if its bootloader will be unlockable, and also for other reasons.
But then I risk that the Blue version will be sold out.
This is my first OP device, so I am asking people with OP experience:
how long does it take for them to bring the sold out color back? Or is it possible that the color option will be gone forever???
I Live in Germany (if this is important)..
I think it largely depends on if the blue is a limited edition or anything like that. If its just one of the regular colors it should be back in stock eventually even if it sells out at first. If it's a special edition like the thunder purple then I wouldn't expect it to be back in stock any time soon.
That Blue is awesome and my first choice!

yes, that's exactly the problem
Is it true that the top model (12/256) is only in blue available? I would prefer a black version.
My understanding is that this weekend (USA) the blue and the Grey will be available. I'm torn between the Blue and the Almond (which isn't coming out until June).
I think the blue will sell out but I also think it will NOT be a special edition.
Anyone know if limited edition colors will be available later?

I saw a rumor that they would introduce a Red model at some point. Don't know how accurate it that rumor is or what country but it would make sense.

My McLaren eventually ended up in a case so the color is not relevant for me. I will get the biggest RAM and storage available regardless of color...
