Note-Carbon Blue or White?

So the note is now available for preorder with AT&T. I've been waiting for this phone for months. Now that I can finally preorder I am having trouble deciding what color. Historically I always felt white devices were for girls, but the white note is still giving me some trouble. Please let me know what color you guys wold get, and maybe specify if you are male or female.
 
Debated this myself. Firstly, you'll have to ask yourself do you care what others think?

If you don't care what folks think, then get the one that looks best.

Other considerations:

1. White discoloring?
2. Security... a big white smart phone is easy to spot.
3. business. Business use may be more appropriate for carbon blue.
 
My vote is definitely for the white one. If you look at both side by side there is no comparison in my opinion.
 
Buy the colour that appeals to you the most, who cares what anyone else thinks or archetypical stereotypes that realistically have no validity.

btw; I am 220, married, have two great kids, at the serious end of Oil & Gas exploration and last time I checked have a White GNote and definitely not a girl. the only comments I have had are positive be it socially or business, be yourself not somebody else`s reflection, you will feel better for it in the long run ;)
 
I love the white. I love how huge and outrageous it is. It was made for me. If it was pink I could see people saying it's girly, but I'll wear pink cause I'm six and a half feet tall and 270lbs so nobody is going to say a GD thing lol.
 
When did white become a "Girl" color?

It never has been so just ignore that. That sounds more like a personal problem. Also the blue one will look old, fast.

I have white. Its more professional looking than blue.
 
I had the white skyrocket and I preordered the white note it just looks better to me and it dose stand out I remember I was at a midnight release at GameStop and I pulled my skyrocket out and everyone was amazed lol well just wait till I pull this out next time lol
 
I would definately vote for the blue (or grey to be precise) because I hate all things white. perhaps due to the fact that I have lived in rented accomodation for too long or that iFruit devices annoy me too much.

That being said I would not consider white to be a girly colour for a second. I might think that you were sad that you could not get an iFruit though (which is a worse in my mind).

Regards,
Eric.
 
i've always had a darker color cell phone.

last night i pre-ordered the white Note on the AT&T website...thanx for all the replies above. i agree, for me the white just stands out more.

I have white color and Im female ( I shouldnt tell you that...LOL). James Bond was having WHITE PHONE too.White stands out more if you like that kind of attention. Also white color gets dirty easy so I bought myself a snap on white case to protect my phone. I have both dark and white color phones but white is ALWAYS my favorite color because most of the time people like to pick out dark color, I like to have what people don't have most...
 
White is for fridges and cookers. No portable electronics should be white.
Black or charcoal grey all the way.
 
Thanks for all of your input. I have decided to go with carbon blue...cleaner look in my opinion. Thanks Again!
 
1. I'm male.
2. I have ordered the carbon blue first.
3. Yesterday, I have changed my order for the white one.
The above are simple facts. It is much more difficult for me to explain, why I have done so.
I can't say I like a white color in general. Probably, in general I like more a blue color. But, after watching several you tube clips, I felt a click towards the white Gnote. Again, I don't know why, but it looks much much more appealing to me. So, my advise is look as many clips as you find in Google, or the best would be, if you can keep both units simultaneously in your hands. Unfortunately, I can't do this as they are still unavailable in my country.

You wont be disappointed, the Ceramic White GNote it`s simply stunning, more so than the Carbon Blue, possibly not the best choice for the shy and retiring as the Ceramic White will definitely raise a comment, so far for me the reception has been hugely positive :cool:
 
White one is cooler. If you are going to have a crazy-large phone/tab, go all out!!! I had a white iPhone before I "saw the light" and nobody said a thing to me. Of course I am 6 foot 9 and athletic.
 
I got carbon blue,well i call it carbon black because i don't see where the blue is but seriously if your just gonna stick it in a case,what's the diff?
 
I'm male and got it in blue. Looked at both side by side and decided that blue was the one for me. White is not bad at all, I'd suggest go for it if you can carry it off (might come with some extra attention) ;)
