What colour Hero?

[Elpelco]

I'm with T-Mobile, they had the best contract deals so I have the G2

Ooh cool, if you don't mind me asking, what contract are you on? I'm on Vodafone (was with them anyway) for 24 months,

would have got the graphite if it was available but i got the White one on release day as it was the only non contract one available at the time.

and now i have seen the graphite and brown ones up close i have to say i made the right choice.

Much prefer the White one, it did get a little stained on the back from my leather case but a simple wipe with a baby wipe and it is like new again.

LOVE IT ..!

I thought Black and Graphite were one and the same???

Thats why I posted the pics, to clear up the confusion. They are very different in the flesh.

Black is ... er ... black.

Graphite is a sort of dark grey.

 

[Forcefed]

brown looks amazing

here in Canada Telus offers Black or White

I chose Black and I love it.

Wouldve loved the graphite one but there's no way on earth i'm ever buying anything with an orange logo on it again, so went for the white one and very happy with that.

Lots of people seem to be confused here

There are 5 colours so far:White, Pink and Brown (all SIM free) Black (T-Mobile exclusive) and Graphite (Orange Exclusive)

Black and Graphite are differant colours and are NOT availible SIM free through legitimate retail channels

Orange Hero Graphite edition

T-Mobile G2 Touch

These are both exclusive to thier respective carriers. For referance, here are the other colors that are availible off contract in the UK. If you buy from 3, you will get the white model, where as carphone warehouse stock the pink and brown models.

Standard White (with teflon coating)

Pink Model

Brown Model

Appreciate your views on my post no 13 in this thread.
After looking at the pic of the Orange-branded Graphite model I realised it's got an Orange Logo ...do you know if there's a Graphite casing without the logo?

 

[lekky]

dont know if it makes any difference to you, but the logo is pretty small and unobtrusive on the back of the case.

I'm pretty sure the Brown model = Graphite edition, of which there is no original UK Sim Free model. Find me an Amazon or Play.com link to the brown/graphite one sim free.

+ 1 for white, i love white gadgets, goes nice with my white ps3 kudos for the teflon coatin aswell

a) brown & graphite are totally different.

b) play and amazon aren't the be all and end all. The information in my post is correct, check expenses or carphone warehouse for the brown model

Brown is Brown

I mean the "Orange" logo...which is on the front bottom LHS of the phone in the photo provided by vido.ardes.

Actually, Orange handsets have their only logo dead-centre on the back about 1cm above the lanyard hole. And the graphite is bronze-ish rather than silver.

I wanted SIM free, so it was white for me.
However if it had been available SIM free, I'd have had black (I had a T-mobile hero for two days but returned it due to no T-mobile signal in my house - it looked good in black).

That said, having lived with the white for a few days, I like it - a bit different to the usual.

 

[andy d]

Graphite just looks so good.

I just got a black unlocked SIM free handset in the UK from www.simplyelectronics.net

A couple of others in the office here also just bought - in white (unlocked) and graphite (Orange). The white is def the lady version (!!) and I like both the graphite and black.

Seriously though. Who buys anything except leather goods in brown?

 

[MattW]

The white is def the lady version (!!)

Waddya trying to say?

I wanted a 'factory' model, not an unlocked branded one (no tweaked firmware etc) so I didn't have much choice However I'd say the pink is the lady version(!) and I agree about the brown

 

[david83]

ive got a graphite one on orange with a completely clear gel skin. looks damn sexy imo

 

[alinver]

Graphite on Orange but it doesn't have the silly Orange sticker on the bottom left.

I think it looks lovely

Cheers Al

I so wanted the white one at first but then i thought iam only gonna buy a nice case for it then it would not show. anyway i have the graphite one which is like a grey/silver colour and love it. i bought this abs coated cases that cover the outer parts of the phone & i have one in white and it looks sooo slick!! customise the hero and it looks amazing.
