PEBBLE BLUE or MARBLE WHITE? 16GB or 32GB? Which you getting?

**storino03** · 06-29-2012, 07:37 PM

I'm thinking on getting the White 32GB one, mainly because I have a white ipod touch and like how it fits with a lot of cases. The Blue looks nice, (neutral tone), but it's too generic looking. I dunno--maybe I'll think differently when I see it in stores.

What about you all?

**Ingry79** · 06-29-2012, 07:58 PM

I have heard of several people who have thought the blue wouldn't look so good, but got to the store saw it and got it. I personally am going for Blue. I am debating if 16 or 32. Logic would indicate that for 50 dollars more you get double memory. But I am seeing that no one so far is carrying only the 16 gig at the phsical stores. So I guess its how soon 32 gig becomes available. Theres online options too, but if I can get it at the store before online I would do it.

**storino03** · 06-29-2012, 08:11 PM

what online options are available? any for current customers renewing contract?

Just purchased my Pebble Blue 16 gb not too long ago. Its all paid for, I just can't take it home or activate it until Sunday. I was dead set on the white but I noticed in a couple reviews that the light on the capacitive buttons tend to bleed, making the plastic look even cheaper than it already is, so I'm going with the Blue. Plus, the metallic brush looks awesome.

I would have gotten the blue but after two straight black phones I wanted something different. I think they both look great.

Pebble Blue 32GBeezzzz

lol

I'm going with the white 32 GB version, ordering online (it's next day delivery). I should have it by Tuesday. White because I've never had a white one before. But it really doesn't matter, since I'm going to protect it with a case anyway. Anyone who doesn't is asking for trouble, no matter how or where you carry it.

**insane42** · 06-30-2012, 01:14 PM

I'm goin' after the 16GB blue and some TecTiles!!

my E4GT has never been in a case and not a scratch on it. Although, my Evo got beat to hell without a case on it.

Mine hasn't either and doesn't appear to have any scratches but if you look at it at the right angle and right lighting (with it powered off) you can see a bunch of tiny scratches. I've never had a phone that hasn't gotten a scratch. I also keep my phone in my pocket with nothing else.

**storino03** · 06-30-2012, 01:55 PM

I don't put screen protectors on my EVO or any other front-glass phone. it's not needed unless you are constantly in a sandy environment where it could scratch the surface.

I want the 32gbs. After seeing videos on using the phone as a desktop, I want to use it at home and office. Before i was dead set on white and most likely get it but am thinking of the blue. But it will be cased up and screen protected. Took very good care of my E4GT but still got a slight scratch on the screen. (damn pocket lint) . at the end i just care that i have the phone.

**Brett636** · 06-30-2012, 01:59 PM

I would like to get the 32g model, but I am hoping someone on here could tell me how much of that 32 gigs is allowed for apps. Thanks!

**storino03** · 06-30-2012, 02:01 PM

There's always a chance a few may be sold in stores (32GB) but I'm fine ordering it online.

From a few reviews I've read, it's split. 16GB for pictures, apps, videos, and the other 16GB is like an external storage space.

Same with the 16GB (8GB and 8GB).

**shafer0219** · 06-30-2012, 02:19 PM

I purchased the 32gb White. Go big or go home. Lol

**fguills** · 06-30-2012, 02:28 PM

It doesn't matter in my case since I am getting a case for it.

**fivegear** · 06-30-2012, 02:44 PM

Since all my phones for as long as I can remember have been black, I gave great thought to white. I ended up with blue and love it! The environment at work just isn't kind enough for a white phone.

Thats good to know. I was a bit peeved when I played with an EVO 4g LTE and discovered it only allocated 2 gb to apps. Memory is so cheap they should be allowing a lot more than that, and is one of my biggest complaints about my current EVO 4g(original) that the allocated space for apps is just way too small.

**darkgauntlett** · 06-30-2012, 05:58 PM

yeah the light does bleed a bit but it looks like the buttons have an aura. I thought this was cool when i noticed it.

**darkgauntlett** · 06-30-2012, 06:00 PM

I got the white 32gb. Mainly because I didn't think blue would go well with a black case. Plus everything i own is basically black, red and white.

I thought the same until I saw this:

The Pebble Blue looks GREAT with that dark grey Rock case. I've already ordered the dark grey and light grey version of the case so this will be my exact set up when I get the Pebble Blue.

You will probably still only get the 2GB for apps, but if you go into application settings, you have the ability to move their installs to the sd storage. I do believe that is still built in memory, not external, but i could be mistaken.

blue 16gb, if it were in stores tomorrow I might get a 32gb, since it isnt and I'm only on the fence on spending the extra anyway, and I dont want to wait anymore, I'll just go with the 16gb.
