I know this is very superficial but is the blue theme similar to the blue plastic colour of the phone? I am choosing between the black and blue model but if the two blues look the same I will get it as it would just perfectly accent each other.

Not completely sure, although I wanted the cyan model, but ended up with the black. I love it because it compliments the screen glass and the background of the start page. Sometimes the phone just looks magical, with white text floating on top of a black slab.
Want something different
Black is always the safe option but every phone I have EVER owned has been black I was hoping the blue would be amazing.

I agree with him ^^, that's what I'll be doing when the white cover comes out. Not a fan of the blue, I heard that the accent does not match with the models blue too, double check to make sure.
There is no accent color to match the Cyan phone.
Having said that, the Cyan Lumia is gorgeous. If I want my phone to look black, I'm partial to getting a black case. As it stands, people think my Cyan Lumia is in a case, until they feel that it is no.
That cyan 800 just brightness my day. Had black N9, and you are right that the black one has these magical moments when the text and icons float on the screen with the clear black display combined with the black body, especially as N9 has no front buttons at all.
Just can't get over how good the cyan 800 looks like imo. Don't like to have my phones in cases, especially as it's so hard to scratch the 800 body.
Why not getting the white one then? Black cases have been out for a while, plus the white one has that weird "rarity" feeling to it
I'm really leaning towards swapping mine for this sassy unicorn...

I would LOVE for Nokia to release the Lumia 920 in Cyan, like it keeps teasing. If so, I'll get that one. If not, I'd get black as my first choice (and thus, my vote), or gray as my second (though I'd have to see it).
Red, cause I'm the Red Ranger damnit... on the Red Ranger network, Verizon. XD

I don't think the 920 can run on VZW network? Correct me if I am wrong
I want the cyan one the most but who knows if that will ever come and I don't wanna wait for it either. From the colors available the grey one with matt finish and the yellow look most appealing to me. But grey seems to be mia at the moment and germany is officially only getting black, white, red and yellow.
Really having a tough time deciding which one to pick. Yellow looks great but it's a bit too flashy like red. Black and white are just too boring since everyone is running around with those colors these days.
black since it is an elegance color and shows the cell phone
The yellow one looks amazing.

If the yellow came in a matte finish I would be set.
As it stands I'm tossing up between yellow and black.
White...no question...as long as Verizon gets it (yes, there is a strong rumor of a roadmap realeased and the 920 was on it)
well, just saw this ad of the 920 targeting the different colors and the lack of color of the iphone.. it's actually quite well made..
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=Zjrv9-Botx8#!
I've had black phones since my very first, so time for a change (like in the new ad).
I've preordered the yellow one yesterday.

Black is definitely my first choice, but I also really like the red, I'm just afraid the accent colors won't match the red if I decide to mix it up a bit. Sigh... maybe I'll get the Lumia in red and get a 8X in black.
I can't make my mind up lol. Leaning more to white now lol

I haven't decided if I'm getting it or not, but matte white would definitely be a nice option.
Not a fan of the glossy backed ones. I sure hope the WP8 announcement brings some real game changers to light.

I traded my Cyan 900 for a white and happy. Will go with white for my 920 also. Put invisible shield on the back and it gives it a matte look. Although I like glossy. Just did it to protect the metal around camera

The big difference lies in the finishing as well... The bright coloured are nice indeed, but not that fun to hold with wet hands. The shiny finishing really is a fingerprint magnet as well. They should have made alle the colours with the matte finishing, like the black and gray versions.
Just my five cents,
jo
I definitely want to get the Lumia 920 AT&T cyan color. But, I do like the deep blue almost purple of the HTC 8X. I've been checking the new WP8 color palette and I think the cobalt blue is about as close as you can get without any hacking the colors. I know some people dye their plastics (key caps on keyboards are a good example of this) and was thinking maybe dyeing the cyan portion of the Lumia 920 shell using RIT dye. Using a color mixer, it appears that 60-80% magenta would bring about the desired result and would make the phone match the cobalt blue theme. Plus, it would make the phone color completely unique.
I'm going to order some cheap cyan colored plastic and try and see if I can get the desired result. I'll report back with pics when I get some samples if anyone else is interested in this. The possibilities are pretty limitless since we now have a white Lumia available too. Imagine taking the yellow Lumia and dyeing it to match the orange tiles, or a custom pink for the white Lumia.
This will be my first Lumia, so is it fairly easy to remove the shell?
I just bought my Lumia 920 yesterday morning and am liking it so far except for a few small annoyances. The main thing is the buttons on the bottom of the device have a yellow/green tint to them. Are they like this for anyone else or are they supposed to be bright white like on other phones? I have tried to get a good photo but can't and the AT&T salesperson said she can't see it. I was going to just exchange it for another one but they didn't have any more of the matte black ones in stock. I may check with a different store today to see if they have any in stock.

Same for me on my matte black - i think it's supposed to be like this (and i like it - I don't want to be blinded by too bright button lights when i look at the screen in the dark)

Thanks for the quick reply. I wonder if any of the other phones like the white or cyan have the same thing. For some reason the yellow is bugging me. I guess I am just used to the white lights since I just came from Android devices. I am way too picky LOL.
I have the white and mine is the same way.

My black one is the same. On Android phones the buttons are white whereas the 920 has a chrome overlay. I wonder if it's the chrome that causes the yellow color?

How is the yellow tint compared to the Lumia 800? Is it yellower?
I like it. It keeps the brightness down to a manageable level. I had the GSIII before this and the brightness of the keys was one reason I rooted and put AOKP on to turn those off permanently.

Same on my black 920. Looking at my wife's 820 hers are brighter when lit and are properly white when the phone is off. On the 920 they are silvered. This must be why they shine a bit yellow when lit.

Ditto. I just checked my wife's 820 and they're white as well.
100% normal
just like my NL900
In all honesty, white LEDs hurt my eyes at night because they're so bright. Even though white looks better, yellow is much more comfortable to look at.
Just a guess but it may have to do with the metallic nature of the screen over thr three buttons. The white led changes color shining through it. I'm slowly getting used to the off-white hue and not bothering me anymore.
I have a black matte colored version of the 920

and mine are tinted slightly yellow as well but there is no green hue to it. On my Samsung Focus S they are pure white though, almost blindingly so compared to the Lumia 920. Not sure which I like better but I am leaning towards blinding white since it looks more natural to me. The yellow will take some getting use to.
I'll get over it.

Hmmmm you were able to turn them off permanently on stock as well.
I think the reason why they have an Yellowish tint is due to the metallic / shiny mirror look they have when they are not lit up.
If you look at the 900, they don't have this finish, they are plain white.

My Cyan Lumia 920 has this as well. Good to know it was meant to be this way and it's one of the first things I noticed going from an HTC Arrive. The Arrive white LEDs never hurt my eyes and I like the white look better but oh well the Phone is Great so I'm not complaining to hard!! :laugh:
My red 920 doesn't have the yellow hue, like my 900 did. It's a nice bright white, which I prefer.

Mine black 920 has white chome. No form of tint unless I have it angles to reflect light from my yellow lightbulb.
Im buying a L920. I've always been set on the red model, but having watched several video reviews im now in doubt.
- Smudgeprints are extremely noticeable on red
- It has a really big "wow effect", its very noticeable with such a massive, bright red glossy back
- Its not gonna match live tiles if I change the colors
Because of this, im leaning towards White, but I have some questions about it.
- Does it get dirty easier? (ie. dirt gather in scratches)
- I read white phones tend to turn yellow if exposed to certain things such as cigarette smoke. Is this true?
- Is there overall something I should be aware of when getting a white phone?
Thanks in advance.

I had the White for a week then swapped out to a Red one. I didn't notice anything unusual like smudge prints etc, that stood out on the white. But, I'm an office worker so I'm not generally exposed to much dirt or grime.
Of the 2 colors, I'm not sure which I really prefer. The Red stands out, but so does the White. There are certain theme colors that do not go well with either color...so it boils down to your personal preference.
Though liking both the White and Red, I have not regretted switching to the Red

Im gonna be using full body protection on the phone, including on metal+lens on the back from the Martin Fields protector. Im not exposed to dirt either (being home going till march...), but its still something I'd like to know, as I've never had a white phone.
Imo red stands out more than white. White is a fairly common color among phones (one reason I dont prefer the color), however the bright red is not. Im just imagening holding it to my ear and all ppl see is the bright back, heh. White just seems so...smooth, despite being common.
Bump for more interest.
Well I can't say anything about White vs. Red but I had a Cyan for two weeks and then I got RED .... I personally liking RED a lot more.

I would get the Red colour. My mum got a White 920 and I really don't like it. I also seen the Yellow version which I thought I would hate, but it actually looked pretty cool in person.
I have a black one which I would say is the best color to choose, either that or the matte grey model.
Between red and white, go red IMO.
I got the yellow one, and I love it - though most people don't (who cares - I love it).
Before that, I had the white Galaxy S2. Looks pretty fine after about a year of usage, besides the scratches it got from the one and only time I dropped it.
I wouldn't hesitate to go for white in means of dirt stains or so. As long as you're not a smoker it should keep it's color for some time.
I am coming from a white HTC One X and I decided to go with a red 920.
When the Lumia 900 came out, I fell in love with the white one. When the HTC One X came out, to me it was like a slightly more rounded "Android" version of the Lumia so I had to have the white one. I really like the color and the contrast of white and black. The only issue I had with the color I had was due to the invisishield protection I had on it. My jeans would stain the shield blue-ish so the phone was never a true white. I read that a naked One X will do the same thing, but that you can clean it off with alcohol. However, if you have a naked Lumia, I doubt that will happen because of the glossy finish.
The reason why I ended up with a red 920 is not because of that, however. I went to the store to check all the colors out and red really stood out to me more so than the other options.
So if you really like the red, get the red but if you really like the white, get the white. But be aware that invisishield-type protection on that phone might be really noticeable once it gets dirty because of the white. I believe the naked phone will actually look cleaner.
I have a white and a black. White stays white - no smudging. However, I will say that the colored ones have more 'grip' that the black - which is very slick.
To my first test drive with a red one then ended up getting a white one for the wife & I. Just came down to personal preference, the one thing I new was I didn't want another black phone
Please Witch One choose? White or Black?
Some said White is better quality than the black?
Help?
I have the black one and I love it!
It actually isn't completely black, it's more a very dark blue - grey.
I wouldn't take the white one because it could get dirty and ugly.
Love my white one, couldn't be happier with it!
I wanted the black one and love it!
Once you go black you never go back. I still got white though.

So does this mean you've never gone black? or do you really like to contradict yourself?
I got white just because it looks better and I already have a black Nexus 5.
I was being silly is all. Have both, keeping white, less fingerprints.
From all the hands on videos and reviews ive seen, it seems that those that have handled both white and black always prefer the white.
A bit surprising since many people preferred the black Nexus 5 over the white one because of the nicer feeling texture. Once I get my white one tomorrow, I'll be comparing it against my black Nexus 5.
Very happy with my white N9! It feels great, is NOT a fingerprint magnet.
The black one does attrack fingerprints.
The white one is a little bit off-white and looks very nice.
Want white or sand, but only black is available in hk play store...
Just got my hands on the white one. It feels very nice. Better than the White Nexus 5.
It's got a very smooth-matte finish. Sort of like a smooth chicken egg, but finer textured. Just don't expect the rubbery-soft touch of the black one.
I would choose a white one, but the problem is the white color is easy to get dirty.
It's more gray than white if anything. I kind of like that.
