Black or Silver?

[matt504hrs]

With the recent delay in getting Black phones in the UK and Silver ones still meeting the release date, I've read a lot of people have changed their orders to go with Silver instead. People have also stated that they are happy about the change as several reviews have stated the Black one isn't as good, I have tried to find any of these reviews to back this up without any luck. Can anyone shed some light on this, should I be changing my order to Silver?

Im with you man I like black phones but I dont know witch one to get I wish the front was more silver it looks kind of white on the front

I plan on getting black as well, but I haven't seen or heard anything about it since the launch event. It seems every single video or review is with the silver one. I remember the same thing last year though with the white One X, but it was only about a two week delay before the black was in.

How should the black one not be equally good?

The only thing I can find that shows it negatively compared to the silver is that oily fingerprints show up a lot, if it's anything like the black one x (which is what I'm replacing as it was stolen a few weeks ago) then it's not that bad, it sort of evaporates off.

Personally, I prefer the look of the silver one.

Very hard decision to make but am picking up the stealth black for sure once it's available here in the KSA.

Black or Silver? That's easy, the one they have in stock! I plane on upgrading May 29th. I have an iphone 4s and Best Buy will give me $279.30 ( phone is like new not a scratch on it. Been in a otterbox since day one.) + $50 as of now. That will give me over $300 so I should be able to walk out with a 64G model without spending a dime. I just hope the price holds up that long.

I had a Galaxy S (At&t) when they first came out and had to have it replaced 3 times. When I upgraded I got the 4s and it's not a bad phone, just not, well just not an android.

I say black. I don't usually like black phones but with it being aluminum it doesn't look boring. The silver for me just has this unfinished look.

Sweet, finally found a video featuring the black one. It's from GSMArena.

THANK YOU! Been looking for the same thing myself.

That doesn't look half bad! Might consider it.

That black one sure does show a lot of fingerprints and grease. Also wondering how well the black will hold up to little scratches on the back.. They'll probably fade into the metal on the silver one but on the black I'm wondering if it's only paint deep.

I was set on getting a black version but at the last minute, I chose the silver. Oh well, hope it just shows up as promised on UK delivery date.

Black is boring... Ive had black phones my whole life. Time to go with silver. Plus silver isn't a finger print magnet you made the right choice.

I had a play of the silver display model One in my local Vodafone store today. It is gorgeous

 

[emirozmen]

Black all the way, although silver is very good looking!

Silver. All my gadgets have always been black or white, so it's time for a change.
