Actually I thought both were great. I just like darker colors, and the blue is less "flashier" than the white. I want to go about my day with my phone, I'm not looking to turn any heads

I ordered the Pebble blue because wasn't sure about the white getting dirty easy. But I did order a white/gray Otterbox Commuter case today. I can haz the best of both worlds.

Just saw the phone at a sprint store. Wow I am happy I went with the blue. The white looks very cheap to me. The blue was amazing, it definitely does have a purple hue to it but it's very nice, and the metallic finish gives it a premium feel. The phone fit perfectly in my hand and the phone was blazing fast throughout. Hurry up Verizon!

I did the same thing today, I got back from a Sprint store about an hour ago and saw both the blue and white versions side by side. I didn't find anything wrong with the white version, but the blue version stood out between the 2 as far as I am concerned. The screen was great and definitely a step up from my Galaxy Nexus. It was fast going between the various home screens and both the app and widget drawer. Very happy with my choice of blue and now I'm just waiting on Big Red to email me my delivery confirmation since my case has already arrived.

Ok lets try this again this is the thread with the blue and white back and the white with blue back

I just played with a demo S3 at the Sprint store for about 10 minutes. The phone feels amazing compared to my iPhone 4. The internet was fast on Sprint's 3G network so it should fly on Verizon LTE. I did notice the home button lag so I'll definitely be turning off double tap for S Voice. The stock browser didn't seem to zoom into the right spot when I double tapped but that's a minor complaint.

Thanks for making us wait 3 weeks longer than every other carrier Verizon :-\

Has anyone been reading the Sprint forum about the poor Wifi and cellular radios in the SGIII. It sounds like the only improvement for Samsung has been the GPS radio. I was really looking forward to getting this phone but sold my Galaxy Nexus because of the radio problems. Not looking to relive 6 months of that again. I wish you all the best of luck and hope that I am wrong in my assumption that the SGIII will have connection problems just like every Samsung phone I have ever owned.

I ordered the Blue for the same reason you don't see white-borders surrounding movies, Black (dark) borders allow the video to 'Pop'.... Then again, this is coming from someone who painted his wall black so the movies on my TV look like they're just floating (more dark bezels...)

Anyway, I just came back from sprint store and the blue looked kinda Dark Grey to me... I had to angle it towards the light to see that it was Blue. I personally am not a fan of blue (I just wanted Dark) and after seeing it in person, I really like the look of it.... Not that it matters, cause I'm planning on slapping an Otterbox Defender case on it soon as It's available (Black of course) . I'm sure white is cool in a StormTrooper-ish kind of way.

 

[tmax1964]

funny thing here people are second guessing the color they preordered after seeing the phone live on on another carrier.. IF thats the only thing they are second guessing it for than thats great.. rather be dissapointed in color than how the phone works LOL

I could be wrong but I think he Sprint radios are completely different than the Verizon radios.

yeah the radios are different but if people are having issues with the sprint version usually that means people on verizon will have similar issues. Samsung is known for not having the best radios/antenna.

In lamans terms, what does this mean..will this phone be better on verizon than sprint??

 

[techgeek32#WN]

No. It means they have the same internals and the range of he antennas will be the same.

yeah but the active radios are still different which could affect reception. ( sprints version of cdma/ lte versus verizons version of lte/cdma)

Yea definitely the best choice I made on sprint enjoy your new galaxy when you get it

I think the fact that Sprint has such poor coverage and download speeds compared to Big Red should be taken into account. It appears that the radio's are identical.
