[Q] What made you choose your Black/Grey one S

---

What was the reason that made you choose a Black One S instead of the Grey one, or vice-versa !!!

Was it the looks, the coating ......... ???

I want to pre-order the One S but did not have the chance to see the phones in real to make a decision. ( release date in the Netherlands 25-27 April )

I only got Grey because thats what was sent to me lol. But i like it, and if i had a choice i probably would have chose grey.

It feels really nice and smooth ( a bit too smooth) Its hard to keep a grip on it, I really need a case for it, I can see me dropping it within the next few weeks.

But i think grey is the better colour, It has the blue camera ring which looks awesome. The coating is like Gun metal its just the best IMO.

Black with the red camera ring is just pure eye candy in my eyes.

Can someone who held both tell us something about how they feel?
I'm thinking about changing my pre-order to the grey version...

T-mobile Germany simply doesn't have the grey ones - so I had to order the black one. Got it and started loving the way it looks even switched off. It's still a black beauty.

I had to take the pic without flashlight so its not too good.

Maybe I am not the best person to answer your question cos I don't have either black or grey one yet, but I did play with both of them couple of times already.
Black is, simply awsome IMO, perfect colour nice feel in hand, only downside is the material chipping problem so waiting for a final solution before getting one.
However, if black is not an option, grey is not bad at all, personally I don't mind the colour of the body just the ring colour of the camera looks a bit not my style but I am sure I can be used to it.
Yes, due to differnt material, the grey one is a bit slippery in hand indeed so may need a case unlike the black one which just sticks to your palm.

Black, because it feels better and T-Mobile Germany doesn't have any of the grey.
Holded the grey one and it's colder and not so stoney in the hand, more like metal

I thank you all, for the reply .

The One S and X are the first phones since the Desire ( I had some and seen allot ) that brought back the feeling:

"I want this mother f...... "

The HOX is to big and I don't have much trust in T3, so I've decided for HOS.

This is the impression I get from the photos.

The grey one looks more stylish on the front view. The black screen pumps out the grey corners which is really eye caching and more stylish.
But I don't like the back. The difference between the alu. body and the plastic covers ( top and bottom ) is to big , while at the black one is more in one tone.
And than is that MAO "thing", which I hope that HTC will get the grip on it and fix it.

Anyway, I decided to wait two more weeks to get one. The release date here, or the 28th when I go to Germany.

Thanks again.
