I've noticed that HTC HD7 have slight cosmetic variation depending which region or carrier you get the device from!
Here in the UK if you get it from O2 you don't get the yellow accent behind the kickstand like it is shown on the HTC website instead it's silver which is same like the US T-Mobile version and also the T-Mobile version has a slight sliver finish on the front cosmetic speaker grills?
I've also noticed in some Italian blogs their HD7 has a blue accent behind the kickstand!
With all this variation it would have been nice if HTC made them available in all regions especially the colour behind the kickstand IMHO the yellow accent does look cool!
I like the Yellow one as well. Until it was released in the US, seeing the pictures in the previews, I hoped that we would have a Yellow one as well. But we got the Silver. Well, its not a big deal, but could have been cool if we had options.

I'm going to say the same. I thought the neon green/yellow gave it a unique hue compared to the usual black/chrome, black/red or white devices out there.
I have a yellow one.
I ordered it at a Belgian online service, but it seems like they imported it from Italy as the manual and so is in italian
If you look closely at the insert it looks as though it can be removed, possibly switched with another color or possibly painted whatever color you want. When I get a chance I will have to try and remove it if possible and see how easy it is.
Well after taking the rear cover off I realized that it is part of the whole rear plastics under the cover. And to remove the cover you have to remove a screw that has a warranty sticker on it. I guess if you REALLY wanted to you could remove the kickstand itself and mask off the area (flash LEDs and camera) and paint the area the desired color. But its not a seperate piece its part of the rear cover
Maybe one day I'll feel adventerous and mask it off and paint it with some chameleon paint I have left from another project.
I have the yellow one too....Bought it last week in india..
Yellow? i have orange
the asian version has a black back covering compared to the us and uk version. and yes it has a yellow tint behind the kick stand. the us version has also a different box than the uk version. the us version of the box can be opened by lifting the top while the uk version one needs to slide the box to its side.
im sure there are no significant differences in terms of whats in the device.these are just cosmetic variations.
i like the uk and the us versions...
i've got the yellow too and i like it more compared to the grey t mobile version...
lookin at some pics i think the italian hd7 is darker, the bezel is dark crome. It looks like tmobile is more like silver crome...also the (fake) speakers grid are black in my hd7..would be cool if they matched the yellow...maybe a too "young" look but i would have loved it
I've noticed only my Inc s has silver accents.. why? Others have that all blacked out look which I wish I had too! Is it the international version?

My earpiece, camera outer ring, and USB etc are all silver accented. also, the screen has a silver bezel.

Mine is like that too - its the Canadian version that has the silver accents. I personally think it looks hot and way sexier than just all black. If you don't like it just get a case that covers it. Where did you pick your IS up?
I like the Silver accents actually
Mine has the silver accents as well since I'm in Canada. US and international version of the phone stays black all 'round. I got used to it
I got mine in a trade from the marketplace. The guy was from Minnesota I think, so that probably explains the canada - accents! haha thanks again guys
I've been looking into buying a white N-7000 off ebay but everywhere I look, it's at least $40 more than the black one? I'm seeing black ones for ~$575 and white ones for ~$615.
Because it's way cooler, and because they can!!!
Not being an A-hat, that's the real reason. Supply and demand.

Because what you perceive as white, isn't really white. In the reflective light scheme, What we "think" is white, really isn't white. It's reflecting ALL colors. If an object is red, it reflects red, and absorbs all other colors. Therefore, to make a white object appear white, they have to have a special paint that will reflect the entire visible spectrum of light, not an easy task. The covers you see in other colors except black, actually started off as white, but failed the test, which is why you see so many other colors available. It isn't easy mixing a color to plastic, to get it to reflect white. Some end up as black, blue, pink, green because they didn't come out right in the manufacturing process.
I really need to lay off the Mt. Dew....you think?

Because in this day and age people can't figure out that you can buy a $10 white cover and make a device whatever color you want.
Black is powerful. In my opinion, white is cheap.

Nice explanation. Its a fair one. However there are more possibilities:
Price is dependant of supply and demand, if demand is higher they can increase price. This is classic economic thinking.
Or they want to tap into more revenue by offering exclusitivity. Create a wanna have because less people have it because its more expensive. Make it special by feauture/price lol.
Or back to supply demand theory, demand x + price y delivers revenue. If you want to keep that and increase revenue, cater to lower demand but higher price. Or cater to even higher volume at lower price. This last is not that attractive psychology wise for the same product model. I think its called catching the market surplus.
Or copy the path Iphone went, first black edition, then stimulate demand with white edition. Probably for reasons in previous paragraph

Is It?
Here in India both cost the same. Demographic Marketing I guess?
It depends. Here in Poland the black model is more expensive. White models are cheaper and generally very easy to buy cause there's always a lot of white ones on online auctions etc.
Demographic i guess, people here seem not to like white phones. And it happens with other models too ( Galaxy S2 white model is almost 1/4 cheaper )
i agree.....white rules! ......got white

Hi,
i decided to buy a HTC One. I don't knew which colour (black or silver), so i orderd them both at amazon.
Just turned them both on and compared.
-) Screen of the black one (made in taiwan) is a little bit darker then the silver one (made in china)
-) silver one has the blueish tint in the camera - room was not really dark, but the black TV appears very blue
--> black one shows all colours like real
Are the screens of the black ones generally a little bit darker? or should i order again two more phones to compare and find a good one?
Thanks for your help
greets, deepy
I'm looking at upgrading my 2013 X to the 2014 model because of today's great deal, but am unsure what color accent I should get. I want it it to match the metallic border on the phone. A lot of pictures I've seen show the border as a metallic silver, so you would think the silver accent would be a good match. However, on the Moto Maker site the border looks a bit darker, and in their mockup the dark grey (black) accent looked best.
For those of you who have either of these accents colors in real life, which do you think matches the border better?
There are two shades of the metallic borders, if you take a closer look; a light silver and a standard grey one. You can match them by your choice pretty much! Take a look at these: http://www.reddit.com/r/MotoX/comments/2mmjh1/the_motomaker_mega_thread_a_real_world_compendium/.

Ah, I was not aware that there were 2 colors, and that they were affected by the color of the front faceplate. Pity, as I wanted a black face but liked the lighter metallic border. Oh well, black face w/ dark grey border and trim it is, then. Thanks!
