Just wanted to get an idea of numbers. The black is obviously more popular. I myself wanted a 16gb black but it was "sold out" so I bought a 32gb white which was next earliest shipped by 11/5. I was curious what people use to fill that much space anyway? Everything nowadays is streamable, not to mention cloud drives. I only stream music from soundcloud, take a few pictures here and there, and never really used more than 3-4 gb on my 32gb HTC One.

Seems like everyone bought a 32GB. I bought a black 16gb myself though. I don't keep any music/videos on my device so I'll be fine with16gb.
I've ordered both, waiting to cancel on one, but I really have no idea. I wish I could see them in person or at least a good hands-on video like the one from The Verge, but I think it's currently in the making. Don't think any retail stores are holding them yet either, and I really want to make sure I cancel before one of them ships out.
32GB black. Didn't like the back only white. If it was all white I probably would've went for it.
32 GB White, Take to many photos, plus just to cache my music from Play Music.

I didn't order white just because I wasn't certain what the material would be like. I wanted the rubber feel that I knew the black had. white looks difficult to keep clean.
I got a White 32GB.

16GB Black. I'm a Chromebook user too so I tend to keep everything in the cloud; I never need that much space, especially with a Nexus device that I won't be flashing ROMs with.
32gb white for the miss' and black for me
first and only 16 GB white so far wanted something different this time [email protected] and couldnt imagine what to fill up 32 GB with on a phone anyways, gonna use those spare 50 bucks for a new digicam
edit: uuuuh, theres two of us now, me likes ^^

16GB is too small for me as I have found out with my Nexus 4. I prefer the uniform black version to the two-tone white.
32 white! Glad to be on this new forum!

I personally cant wait for this, because i dont have 500$ to get a sgs3 or htc one x, because i am on contract. I have an old samsung vibrant and it is going on sale for the nexus 7. I have a hp touchpad, but i damaged the processor somehow from overclocking, and now it lags like crazy when trying to use it. I think from people that dont use android, this could be their first android device. I think the phone ui is much better on tablet like this than the tablet ui, i hope i can use the homescreen in landscape though.
I now have a galaxy s3 and a htc x one and now a nexus 7 tablet soon 16gb.

might as well. only $50 more dollars for double the storage space. most other tabs charging $100+ for double the storage space. I'd rather have to much memory and not use some vs. not have enough and finding yourself constantly deleting stuff to make room(it gets tedious fast).

imho, if you can afford the extra cash to get the 16gb you should get the 16gb. Having no expandable storage you will be stuck with what you buy now. (I do have the (16gb on pre-order).
Pre ordered the 16gb model. Nice to go with my nexus s and galaxy nexus
I don't see why people are complaining so much about it. Its a great tab for the money. No hack a rounds to get software you want on it, good screen, good battery size, good tablet processor. Would have liked the SD card slot but I didn't expect it. 7 inches is fine for movies and reading. I spend almost all my time online on my phone, even at home. This will at least let me read PDF files and web pages and whatnot a bit more comfortably.

i definitely want to get one.. just need to wait for its availability in asia though..
I wanted to post this yesterday but I was in a huge rush to get my upgrade without losing unlimited data. I was not sure what phone to get to replace my beloved gnex. The moto x seemed like a great phone with a great battery which was key for me because the gnex battery only lasted me half of a day. But Verizon does not have the 32gb version so going to the moto x is a step down from the 32gb I filled in my gnex. It was nice to see and extra 50gb of space in my drive account for getting it, but obviously cloud storage hardly compares to hard storage. Also, I had to choose from black or white when the Motomaker site makes the phone look so much nicer but its a big tease when I cant use it with Verizon! Basically, my question is- Should I keep my boring black 16gb moto x or exchange it for another phone? If it was 32gb and had motomaker it would be perfect but without them it feels kind of basic when compared to the GS4 and the HTC1. Is anyone else as mad as I am that verizon releases yet another phone without all the goodies? Thanks.
I liked my all black Moto X and figured I can work with 16gb of space. The battery is great and I can add memory using my usb stick with an otg cable.
Later after a week I returned it back to Verizon and got the 32gb Developers Edition from Motorola for Verizon. Its got a black face and a white back with Verizon Developer Edition written on it. Its nice because of the extra 16gb of space but also has an unlockable bootloader. I haven't unlocked it yet because I've been rooted using Master JCase's root method. I love this phone because it's also smaller, kinda gotten tired of the big screen if the Galaxy Note 2.
Yeah look into using a memory stick for the moto if you desire more memory. Works great and this is my first phone with an undetachable battery. So I got an 18000mAh Power pack from Limeade. So now I got more power than I can handle. Hahah.

A few people on XDA have indicated that verizon will have Motomaker and the 32gb variant by the 2nd week of November. However I guess that is too long to wait to trade it in. I'm not sure I was trade for another phone based on not getting to choose your own color. As for the storage size, that is based on whether or not you think you need that much internal storage.
I just feel really let down about not having 32gb and motomaker as options when my last phone had more storage. I bet they lost a lot of sales to the S4 and HTC1 when they have more storage. Is there any way I can exchange my phone to motorola and pay the difference for the 32gb with a wood back?
Other than music(I use Spotify so it's a non issue) I'm not sure why anyone needs more space than 16gb.all my photos and videos are auto backed up to g+ or dropbox, music and video streams. And colors... I guess it's nice if you want it to match your purse.

I'm in similar situation, was in frenzy the other night caring about the upgrade nonsense that I ordered a Maxx without really thinking about it (thinking Moto X w/ coupon would have been about half the price). Very nice phone, my 2 complaints are the hardware keys and the size (too large for me to hold comfortably on one hand). While I'm getting comfortable with it, very likely going back and getting the X.

Video podcasts, rom backups, All Access were eating a ton out of my 16gb Nexus. I probably won't be doing much rom stuff on the X but that extra 16gb is always a welcome addition.
Moving over to a Tab S 10.5" from a Note Pro 12.2" not much different in the display size but my arms will appreciate the weight difference and my eyes will LOVE Netflix HD....

I think this is the first post in this forum.
Definitely would like at least 32 GB. Leaning more towards the 8.4". We have a 10" tablet, and it is just too big to use one handed. And by use, I mean hold.
The weight of both tablet is relatively low. The AMOLED screen makes for a thin tablet. The ahead-of-its-time GT-P6800 7.7 tablet is amazingly thin and solid. It's still a good tablet for media playing and web surfing.
I just pre ordered the 10.5 32gb version from Best buy, I wonder how they pulled the exclusive with the 32gb. I'm in the process of putting some sample files on a flash drive to test on one of the display models. Best buy also has the bronze and white book covers for 39.99 rather than 69.99. Glad I decided to wait for the release and didn't open my Note Pro, it's already on it's way back to Samsung.
Edit: So I went and tested two video files at the local Best Buy, Pacific Rim 1080p 12gb mkv high encoding 19 quality and Timescapes mp4 2560x1440. The picture on this tablet is amazing especially the nature scenes in the Timescapes file. The stock player was able to player both files with no skips or jitters.
I pre ordered the 8.4 from Future Shop (Canada). I am keeping my Note Pro 12.2 as my home unit, the 8.4 as my traveler (Read in bed) and Nexus 5 as my phone. I have no problems with a 16 gig unit. I used the savings and bought a 64 gig microsd. After being burned by Samsung in the past ie.. software updates and coming from a Nexus background I was hesitant to purchase the 12.2 but I have to admit that it has been a nice experience. The first tablet I haven't bothered to root. I think the 8.4 will be even better. Of course I will be keeping my eyes on this year's Google IO conference just in case they mythical Google 8 is announced. I just need to find a case and glass screen protector.
I am really tempted by this new tab
Especially since I sold my Nexus 7 2013 FHD, I really would like to replace that with the new 8.4 Tab S. I miss reading books and browsing the web on my couch or bed. I don't really care for the aesthetics mainly due to the placement of the buttons, it's just weird having the phone layout of buttons on a huge tablet, I prefer to have them on the sides of the device. Not a deal breaker though. I'm just torn on whether to buy this 8.4 through amazon as I have a gift card there for 300 bucks or save a little more and wait for the new Nexus 8 or Nexus 10 if they ever announce them. I have a galaxy note 3 and being a phablet I thought it would be sufficient enough in size to not miss my nexus 7 but I was wrong. The one thing I hate about Samsung is the bloatware and difficulty in rooting the device due to knox and voiding the warranty. I'd prefer to wait for a tablet using either the tegra 4 K1(32 bit) chip or the tegra k1 (64 bit) chip because the games on it would be fabulous, but like I said I am just itching to replace my tablet I dearly miss and this samsung galaxy tab S looks very promising...Woe me
for some reason the smartwatches here in bahrain and saudi are more expensive than in the US but the phones and phablets are cheaper, wonder which range this tab s prices will be here
I preordered this online on bestbuy (in canada) because when I went to do it in stores their system didn't let them help me. is this normal? anyway if you preorder from bestbuy canada they give you the folio case for free as well I believe and theres a lexar 64gb thats on sale for 70 bucks off until the 19th...
Noticed BestBuy, Futureshop, Staples in Canada all bumped their dates back to July 4th right away. Was saying June 26 for the first day or two. Amazon still says June 26.
I wonder if it will get bumped again. I've had horrible experience ordering online from bestbuy and futureshop. I'd try staples next if they had the free cover offer too.
I ordered the 10.5 white from Samsung store for $499, including Samsung's book cover case worth $69.99 as a gift... They promised 1 July delivery.

I started my tablet buying addiction with Chinese tablets - lol. I have owned a number of Chinese tablets , TV sticks and TV boxes. My advice is to save yourself a lot of grief and buy a name brand tablet from a recognized retailer. There are a number of issues to consider. 1) The RK3288 looks like a good chip but Rockchip is notorious for producing buggy versions of Android. I know I currently own two Rockchip devices and if it wasn't for a dedicated user base debugging and producing custom ROM's, the devices would be useless. 2) If your tablet has a hardware defect you would have to ship it all the way back to China - usually at your own expense. It could take months to get it sorted out. 3) Chinese manufacturers tend not to support devices once they are originally released and since these Chinese tablets don't usually appear on XDA you are left on your own. 4) Many Chinese Companies quickly disappear for no notice. 5) You'll be kicking yourself for not spending that extra money for that great Tab S display.
If you do by Chinese then Geekbuying is a reliable place. They have always been good to me.
Hope this help,

Staples.ca is offering the Black one only for free. Not selectable. Go figure.
I just bought a Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 edition. It's really nice and I actually like the S-Pen more than I thought I would... however, I'm thinking of returning it to get a Tab S instead.
From what I see, the specs are really close between the two tablets. Main differences appear to be the AMOLED screen and slightly thinner/lighter Tab S ... but then I lose the S-Pen. Both AMOLED and scLCD screens seem to perform nicely, so that's a matter of preference I guess. I have a Galaxy S5 and the scLCD on the Note side-by-side to my S5 AMOLED screen looks pretty close.
Thoughts? Do you think the Tab S will be that much better than something like the Note 2014?
Thanks
i was excited to see that the Tab S was finally hitting Big Red right HERE
only to be disappointed to see that it currently comes in only White (do not want at all) and 16GB (only gonna buy 32GB)
i have a feeling by the time the Tab S releases what i would like (if ever) there will already be something newer/better out.
i am OK with my Bronze 32GB Wifi with hotspot but was hoping for some built in data at some point.

I know it's not the same but I've tethered my Tab S to my SGS3 a few times. Works well. But I get what you're saying. White tabs just don't "do" anything for me also. Just personal preference.
i have a Mifi that i keep on my and in my truck etc.. that makes it fairly easy but wanted my first tablet with data built in.
i could probably go with the white before i would consider a 16GB version. until Android allows direct access to microSD again (if ever) i run out of room all the time with only 16GB internal and spend to much time moving files around.

Agreed that the color doesn't really matter as the phone is virtually impossible to use without a case. That said, I bet a silver S-Pen would look great with an Ocean Blue Note 9. If you want an OEM silver look, Samsung's Rugged Protective Cover in Silver or dark metallic gray looks great.
Only color I miss is white., Failing that black always wins.

Very good question........
This is one area Samsung would do well to mimic their main competitor,seems to have served 'em well & will no doubt sell a boatload or two of their latest offerings.
Samsung sales have gradually slipped the past 3 years,the trickle release of color variants,scattered availability of such dependent upon region,is nonsensical & is helping no one..
I'm diggin' my Note 9,but,offering all color options at launch,TO ALL MARKETS, would be a nice start in what will likely be a refresh for next year's models.........

I like my Note 9 Blue as well, but I would have preferred silver or an emerald green. I think it was the S6 or S7 that got a green over in Korea, but that was it. Irked me off a lot.
