never been a fan of white myself and have always chosen black. I don't have one yet (waiting for stock) but that blue looks damn fine in my opinion. I bet the white looks awesome as well but I like the darker color.

Same here - really wanted black, but went with white because I didn't much like the fake brushed-metal pattern on the blue and its purplish home button. Nothing a case can't mostly hide, though.

I got the blue and my GF got the white.

The back of the white looks better.

The front is a toss up... they both look lovely... until one of the capacitive or notification LEDs lights up on the white phone.

The white version has light leak around the leds... makes it look cheap.

I would recommend blue + aftermarket back

I want the blue and voted for it but I saw a white and black case on a white model and it looked pretty darn good. I think it was a case-mate case. If they have a white one available, then I'll decide then. Either way, a case is going on it, so really, what does it matter?

Ordered and received Blue (read: butt ugly purple) and hated it... It's a blue'ish purple, the back cover is a different color and the button is a different color... This thing has 3 different shades of blue / purple on it... Really Samsung??

Posted an ad on Craigslist in LA for a trade and actually found someone! Woohoo.. Now I have white and am pleased..

If the blue was all one color it might look better but the 3 different shades makes it one of the ugliest looking things I have ever seen... Hope they fix it and devices manufactured later won't suffer from it..

Thanks, this helped me make up my mind. I would have preferred white but since I rater being very careful as opposed to using cases I don't want to see light leaks. :good:

No light leak on my white. Looks pretty sexy IMO.

really? your capacitive buttons only show the back/menu images in darkness? stand with your phone in a dark room and tell me the buttons aren't 3x brighter than the screen. they don't dim which is pretty annoying.

you can kind of see it here:

First off... They should have offered Black. Which is what I would have wanted. I chose white because the blue didn't appeal to me at all.. I like the non-visible buttons, doesn't show scratches or fingerprints as easily, and i've always had an easy time reselling white phones.. Either way I love the phone, and look forward to modding the hell out of it. Already had several Apple sheep admit their jealousy..

The more I use my phone in different light, the more I realize I have a purple phone. The back is the most blue part, but the sides and front are straight up purple in most light, especially natural light. I have also noticed that, in certain light, the front of the phone is the same exact color as the home button. It still looks very nice and, imo, much better than white. I would have chosen black if it was available. Imagine this thing in black chrome instead of purple chrome. Drool.
