What color are you getting?

[raqball]

I want the Stellar Grey but it's not available for reservation yet..

The ocean one is intriguing

 

[tech_head]

I signed up for black but I would like the grey.
Only colors right now are black and white. We all know the world is grey.

 

[raqball]

I signed up for the black and the white... Figure that way I can decide as I wait.. I wonder with the ceramic back if the black is going to show fingerprint smudges and look like a hot mess a few seconds after touching... The white might hide them a little better.. Hopefully the Grey becomes available soon as that's the one I really want..

I'm very drawn to the Ocean one. Wow.

 

[bhatech]

Reserved the white one with camera

Also just finished watching Andy Rubin interview with Walt and Andy Rubin mentioned he wouldn't be talking reservations if it was not ready to ship. He said probably in around 30 days we might able to buy and ship.

I reserved black with the camera. Just when I think I kicked the habit, something else comes out. One day, I am going to beat this thing man!

Also, the white has matte finish and black has glossy finish if anyone didn't know about it.

Hahaha.. I know the feeling... I've bought a KEYone and an Xperia X Compact in the last 4 months and now this...

I think the white one looks very elegant. What color is that metal on the ocean one? I'm a little color blind.

Edit. I just reserved the white. Can't remember the last time a white phone had a black screen.

Black or Stellar Gray

 

[Final-MacGyver]

I'm holding out for the Ocean Depth color. Hopefully the camera bundle will still be that cheap when it is eventually available for pre-order.

Hello from Windows world! My phone is dying a slow death. Think I'm going to reserve the white. If the ocean comes available for reservation and is a matte finish like the white I'll cancel the white. Even if it's not a matte finish I may cancel because that's just a beautiful color with the bronze body.

Edit: New information received. As we all know the black is glossy and the white is matte. I just got a message from Essential stating that the Stellar Grey is also matte while the Ocean Depths is glossy.

If it's anything like the black ceramic of the Mi Mix then yes...it will be a greasy mess almost instantly. I'm personally going with the white or grey since they both have black front's and are matte finish on the back. Should show way less fingerprints. I hate using a case but I hate having a greasy mess of a back panel on my phone. Im sad that we've moved away from metal backs.

I reserved the black but the ocean depths looks great.

 

[scottysize]

If I purchase, it'll be the Ocean Depth once it's released. I'm going to see what Apple has for us with the iPhone 8, or Phone Edition, or whatever they call it. If it's not as good, or better, I'll be ordering the Ocean Depth.

The Glossy back is cool but I wonder if it would cause issues with the camera
