I'm definitely with you there. I REALLY want the Black MAO version but I'd be perfectly fine with the Gray one with the Gradient finish too if that's all TMo USA carries.

Unfortunately the grey version wont get the micro anodized finish, which is of course a down side. But of course if the black version isn't available it's probably not a dealbreaker.

Whichever finish you get you end up with a strong unibody metal shell. Yes, the MAO black is meant to be quite special in its strength and durability but the gradient finish on the grey one looks really appealing too

I think they did a great job matching the gradient gray with the blue camera, yet I must... have... MAO...

Despite my negative words, I've ordered a black one and it should be delivered in 1 -2 weeks. I think that the snapdragon S4 is one of the most appealing stuff in this phone for me personally. The build quality is probably also one.
