Hello guys,
I'm about to jump on the g1 train, currently trying to decide between white or black Dream. I have only seen the black in person (still looking for the white ;P) and there arent that many reviews or opinions posted on the net (that I could found at least) as to what the difference between the two (other than the color of course) and their build quality is.
So, please post your opinions on the matter. I'm pretty sure there are quite a few users in here with the white version. Black seems more popular, for some reason its also more expensive in most shops. But is it also more robustly built?
The one solid difference I've been able to read about is that the white phone doesnt have the rubberized back the black one has. Is this true? What about the quality of the plastic used? Are both solid, or is one "weaker" than the other? How do both feel after a few months of use? Is the white one a magnet for dirt?
Thank you guys
Cheers
Niko

i dunno. I have seen an all white battery cover offered in a few other countries. If you do go white, you might want to look into the white battery cover. it looks slick
definanetly get a black one with the nice matte finish(it look the best) i have a white one and the paint is chipping around the memory stick slot, the chin and it is not very scratch resistant
even if you dont take the outer color into consideration, the keyboard on the black one is the best...the white and brown G1 have a keyboard that is harder to read in daylight.
black one! you can actually SEE the keyboard
Amen... White looks nice, but goodluck trying to see what youre typing if the sun is shining on it.

There is a way around the problem if you use "Backlight Off" from the market. You do however need root for it to work.....
funny you guys say that about the keyboard. i find it very hard to use in the sun, hardly see the keys at all. as far as build quality gos.
i love my white G1, however. it has a slight imperfection in regard to the underside of the chin where the backplate clicks onto on one side. it has a very small gap making that side not sit flush with the body of the phone. its not enough to notice unless you look for it but it drives me insane. the problem is worse when i use the extended battery making the whole thing feel flimsy and creaky. i have found myself wondering if i made the right choice getting a white one over a black.
I have the Bronze and the key board sucks outside wish I would have got the black.. But I still love my G1
Wow thanks a lot for the replies. White does look a lot better in pics (in my opinion at least ). Seems I'll take the black one tho
Thanks again, really helpful replies!
Cheers,
Niko
White one IS better looking.
I've got a black one, and hope I had chosen a white one... and most of my friends with the white one would say the same for the black one. Don't care much about the 'finish' or 'keyboard', it's all the same, just go for the one you personally prefer.
I would def stick with the black
Black unless you want to replace the keyboard. Even with backlight off on my bronze the keys were unreadable at times. With my black one it's looking for a program that turns back light on without a keypress.
I've got a black G1 and a friend of mine has got a white one.
Build quality is comparable i think, but there several other factors which make me favor the black G1:
- The 'rubbery' finish of the battery cover provides superiod grip when holding the G1 in your hand.
- The keyboard (even when lit) is better readable on a black g1 than on a white one. probably because the contrast between black keys/white characters on the keys is bigger.

in tmobile UK they offer the white g1 with white battery cover and white keys on the keyboard. but silver middle.
tmobile us is half white and from the keyboard down its silver. the back cover does however have the rubbery feel.
the white g1 however chips soooo easily =\ i have the white one. and i was reading somewhere that the first white g1s that were released in te US had the same whtie battery cover as the UK one,but were quickly recalled becuz of paint chipping issues.
i bought the black g1 first,but returned it for the white g1 since white is mroe visually appealing to me. however the white g1 keybaord sucks ass in daylight. white backlight on a silver keyboard just makes it hard to see.
some black g1s had the silver middle and keyboard, but nowadays tmobile stores sell a full black g1. the keyboard is actually a lot easier to see.but i hate the black g1 matte finish.
you can buy ZAGG invisible shield to make the black g1 have a shiny look and also protect it from scratches and chips.. or buy it for the white g1 to protect it from scratches and chips as well.
i plan to however to buy a white battery cover and install the zagg invisible shield(btw zagg offers lifetime warranty so you can easily get a replacement for free)
I wanna order a case for my Galaxy Tab, i found one with nice price, but i don't know what color to choose, white or black?? hard to choose.
This is the black one.
There's another case, which is the same as this one, but the color is white.
Dear all, what color is more attractive to you??
I like the black on white scheme, so I vote white.
I see all black devices way too much for me to keep liking them.
In the words of the late, great Michael Jackson:
"It don't matter if you're black or white..."
Black if you have a black Tab. Definitely.

My Tab ist white but I would buy the black case. I think white leather looks strange.
I would go with black

Black for myself and white for wife!
i would choose black
Mine is Blue.. but its look like Black..

It's actually dark blue but it looks Black from far or in pictures, any ways I got a white note and I love it. The carrier I went to get my phone did not have stock at all but thanks to a miracle they restocked just hours before I went to get my phone but only in white. So I really needed a new phone (my previous phone is N97mini thorough nice looking its a huge mistake) and I wanted to get a white as black is so common and I'm truly sick of black phones so I wanted to get the white but last minute I chickened out and wanted a black or rather dark blue but I was forced to get the white as they only restocked white and I'm glad I got a white Note
Its a really nice change for once having it in white and so far no dirt or any thing like that, could be because the phone is glossy for the white so whoever thinking of getting the white do go ahead and get white, maybe be it MIGHT get dirty in the long run but it seems to be a quality white
Hope u guys have fun with your notes like me whatever color it is!

White.
I was looking for a black/dark blue one but the store only has the white on stock. I never imagined that i'll be having a white phone but im loving this.... The only complain i have with my white note is the back cover. It has smooth glossy finish. I prefer the texture of the back cover of the black note. It is easier to hold even it doesnt have case.

I initially wanted a White, but realized latter that this color is mainly used by women everywhere. So I got myself a Black Note! All my android phones were Black - never got any other color......
Got the white one, and the white flip cover. The blue/black version is butt-ugly
.....
Initially had the dark blue one and used for a month, then I was told the white also got launched, and when I saw it.... GOD... just could not resist the beauty of the beast so gifted the dark blue to my bro and now proudly flaunt the CERAMIC WHITE GALAXY NOTE.
I have the "black" one.

I got
the white one, never had a white phone before. But it looked good to me.
I got the white one. I think that on the black one, the bezel looks bigger because of the small black plastic bezel around the screen. I also don't like the two tone metal frame. If it was just black, the phone would look bad ass, but how it looks now, i prefer white. Purple is very very nice too, but it has the same 'problem' as the black. Either way, this phone is just beautifull, nomatter what colour you choose.
Thanks guys. good oberservation with the black. Does the black one show finger prints/smudges easier than the white and purple?
Loving my purple one
Honestly, because the shatterproof protector has no oleophobic coating all models will show finger/smudge marks, though I suspect the purple and black are worse (and the back is worse than the front so I put a matte case on mine - purple too).
Waiting for a good oleophobic protector to surface....
I confirm, i've the black one and it show finger/smudge marks...
May be it should be better on white.
I had a purple XZ and loved it. I went with white this time because I plan on purchasing either the QX10 or QX100 lens and they're only in white and black. I want my accessories to match.
Purple is the sexiest

Black is too common for a phone, I hate white as scratches etc are easily visible on it. Went with the purple! No regrets, simply beautiful!
I can't decide whether to get the Deep Sea Blue Color or Midnight Black? I love both colours the most among other ones available.
Most of the time I will be using a Rugged "Clear Back" Case of Tech21 or Spigen or Otterbox so that I will get good drop protection without sacrificing the phone's elegant feel. And sometimes I wont be using a case at all.
I really like the Deep Sea Blue colour because in different lighting conditions the phone appears exceptionally sleek in every way.
Well on a side note if I use a Black Case, then my device visually becomes a black phone.
But the Midnight Black phone might be prone to a lot of fingerprints whereas the Deep Sea Blue one may not show that much.
However, the Midnight Black with its black almost bezel-less front, black rear and especially black "side frames" makes the phone like a complete screen on the palm of the hand.
But still can't decide which colour to get they're both very gorgeous looking devices. I love them both, but I have to go with one color that stands out the most.
And which phone will look more future-proof, since I am getting the 256GB Internal Flash Memory (256GB ROM) one from Hong Kong and are very expensive (for me) a bit over $1180 USD and I will be using this phone for a couple of years.
I've got the 256Gb dual SIM from China/Hong Kong in blue and it is stunning! I am also using the Samsung clear view stand case in blue ... it looks great and is a superb phone! I'm not going to root as I paid £20 for the full advert removal via Disconnect Pro & previously the main reason for rooting was advert removal!

I got the black after a lot of deliberation. Happy as larry [emoji847][emoji847]. The black does look all the things you mentioned and the screen just stands out a hell of a lot. I use a black case on it too.

black.
I'm an old person, trust me on this, live a little because it's a short ride. If the blue is talking to you, buy it and never look back.
Buy the blue. If you hate it, throw it in a black case and move on. Best of both worlds!
Get the Blue. They always have a black one it's to common. I have the gray one and I love it. I would have got the blue one if they had it at the time. Also the black one has no contrast to the sides. If the sides were chrome like on the gray one it would be cool.
...
Maple Gold is best 4 me!
Get the black one! Looks powerful sleek and elegant, I am using an aluminium frame with cristal back case and looks formidable!!
Many phones are available in black but very few in this shade of blue. Get the blue one, its more unique and it is definitely a stunning color for the Note 8. Chances are you wont regret it but if you do get tired of the color, put a solid color case on it.
