shall i get cyan or black?
 

Hey guys, I'm going to buy a nokia n9 (figure why not, last bit of fun before having to settle down with either android or windows phone when i upgrade in october) and I just can't choose between black or cyan. Anyone care to voice an opinion? The black is more stylish but the cyan is a bit more rare and unique. Hmmmmm

I don't want to be rude, but do you ask when you have to pooh !!!

It is just amazing the number of stupid question on that forum :s

Re: shall i get cyan or black?
 

Blue any day. Where else can you buy a blue phone? Plus black looks like an old wheel after a day. Really ugly.

Have a blue one unless you can't get your hands on a white one.

Re: shall i get cyan or black?
 

Cyan. The black one looks so... ordinary.

Re: shall i get cyan or black?
 

U have a point there Dave... the Cyan definitely looks classy [ditto the Magenta, for females]. And then don't we have enough of the drab black, grey, steel combo-dumbos in the mkt already? Our colored N9s bring-in a fresh breath of air, to the otherwise incognito sea of devices. And these r sure a head-turner!

I'd further look @ it this way:
-Buy the Cyan, if 16GB is our foray,
-Buy the White, if 64GB is our forte.

I wouldn't say the Black is ugly though. But it sure is a run-of-the-mill color... most devices r that way... but if we have a choice [Thanx Nokia for giving us that], why not? Nonetheless, the Black on N9 yet looks fab! Much better than the rest.

Ps.: Oh yes, I gave u an 'actual' thanks there !

i have both and i must say its a very tough choice.. During the day the blue one looks like the best thing you'll see, no seriously its amazing!) however in low light(very low light, where you can only just see the blue) conditions it doesn't look that good, the black looks amazing in the dark though bearing in mind the clear black amoled :) also it feels a bit more premium than the cyan but thats only my opinion.. Anyway for how amazing the cyan looks like during the day i'd choose cyan any day!

Re: shall i get cyan or black?
 

I wrestled with the same question for a while.. I chose black because I thought it looked more classic/proper, even though I thought the Cyan contrasted so well with the screen.

Having said that, i put my phone promptly in the case and suggest you do, too.. so the colour of the phone may not be all that important if you can find a case with a colour you prefer.

Re: shall i get cyan or black?
 

It's good to hear your opinions fellers, I think i'm going to go with the cyan! It will be a nice change from the drab of my Galaxy S2.

As for Mousse04, pooh is a bear. I believe the word you were so desperately looking for is 'poo'. I hope you're proud of yourself mister.

Re: shall i get cyan or black?
 

Awesome choice! While the black probably looks a bit more professional, the cyan really stands out compared to all the drab smartphones out there - appropriate for an OS that stands out compared to all the drab iOS and Android phones out there.

Re: shall i get cyan or black?
 

Coincidentally, I've also been trying to decide between getting a Cyan or Black N9! Was also worried the Cyan N9 might not look "professional" enough.

But I'm thinking I still wanna go for Cyan. I was thinking that it stands out more, and that more people would interested in what phone it is - give the N9 some publicity in my own way!

Do you guys know whether the Cyan could start looking dirty / grubby after a while?

Re: shall i get cyan or black?
 

Whatever you go for guys, I hope you thoroughly enjoy your phones. My phone is now about a week old and since I just got the microSIM for it yesterday, I've really only now been getting a sense of its class.

Black or cyan, you can't lose either ways. I went with the black, but could have just as easily gone for the cyan. I looked at a number of photos and vids online before deciding .... in my personal experience the blue felt a little on the 'lighter' side (just from judging from the pics). In terms of us having a unique colour, I think that's a little biased in assuming that, since the lumina 800 and 900 that are being so heavily marketed around the world are going to have the exact same colours (at least black and cyan). Be prepared to be asked "oh, is that the new windows phone?" :D

Re: shall i get cyan or black?
 

not at all.. Only the case, but that you can clean apparently though i haven't tried )

Re: shall i get cyan or black?
 

Buy a black one !
Black is timeless.
Buy a Cyan silicone cover, to hide the black N9.
Be happy ;)

Re: shall i get cyan or black?
 

The black one looks classy.

Re: shall i get cyan or black?
 

If I wasn't able to get a white, I should choose a cyan...

Re: shall i get cyan or black?
 

Black for sure

Re: shall i get cyan or black?
 

I was pretty sure I would pick a black one before holding a Cyan N9 on my hands :) Yup, black look more professional, BUT (consider this "BUT" as font.size 60, bold and underlined") cyan.. looks "gorgeous", and unlike %90 percent of all other smartphones out there, it IS unique.

Don't go and pick a black one before holding a cyan N9 or you may regret it :)

Re: shall i get cyan or black?
 

I got a black one and love it...

That said I have gotten the cyan case for it and I must say I like the blue so much more and I wish I had gotten a cyan one instead as the cases get dirty far too easy - not sure if the cyan phone gets dirty, would be interested to hear if this is also the case...

Re: shall i get cyan or black?
 

i love cyan. head turner. too many black phones on the market, that is what makes cyan special

Re: shall i get cyan or black?
 

is it true that the 64GB only comes with black or white? a cyan one would be awesome!

just a tiny little bit off topic here, what about the choice between black and white?

Re: shall i get cyan or black?
 

Yep. The only way to get a cyan 64GB would be to swap the chassis with a cyan 16GB (a rather expensive proposition).

The problem with the white "unicorn" N9 is that it's damned near impossible to purchase outside of Scandinavia. :(

Re: shall i get cyan or black?
 

i would rather choose 64gb than 16gb, so only black or white, but still looking for this one, so hard to find it here in Indonesia, :(

Re: shall i get cyan or black?
 

*looks at 4 month old cyan N9*

No, it doesn't get dirty!

Re: shall i get cyan or black?
 

only the black looks preety good...
black body,
black screen...

or buy a white n9
