Glossy vs Matte

[cooperma]

Just letting you guys know, @nokiaUS says that the white is glossy, the black is matte.

Yes, they usually are.

Seems weird to me that Verizon would not have a red variant on day one.

Thank god. Matte Black is mah crack!

I'm going white - I don't like the matte finish on the 822. It feels more slippery than the glossy colors.

i am picking mine up Thursday...not sure what to do though. Will the VZW reps at the store let me feel each phone?

Oh yeah. They're not going to just hand you a box and tell you you're on your own. :wink: When I was in a Verizon (corporate) store on day one, the display was set up. I don't know if it was set up at opening or not, as it was evening by the time I got there, but the display was there for both the 822 and the 8x, including having a Power Up speaker there as well.

i am hoping the store i go to is going to have them in stock :-/ I know they can order them..but really wanting on day 1.

Just saw the White in video and good god is it beautiful! But my 2 worry's are scuff marks and because i spend a lot of time snowboarding and video-ing, i fear I'll lose the white one if i drop it in the snow!
