If color is important to you, have you considered the Moto X ? I think there are about three dozen colors that you can put together in various combinations. I found this article on this site: "Customize your Moto X: A Moto Maker Preview". I'm waiting for the end of the month so that I can feel each of these in my hand. Good luck with your choice!
I have thought about the X. I'm stuck between the X, the HTC One, and Droid Ultra Maxx. I won't get customizations on VZ until November I heard. I've waited so long for the HTC One I think I've lost a little interest, plus I don't think it'll get as much love as the X and Maxx. Like updates, accessories, and stuff. And I consider myself a "power user", so the battery in the Maxx seems really enticing.
