With all the sightings of the G1 at the event today, it has become clear that black is the color favorite. There were a few white models in pictures here and there. Word is the brown one was spotted but we really did not see much of it. While the showroom was crowded with long lines and tons of media running about we had to get a shot of the brown, so we sent Vince back in to seek one out. He managed to get his hands on it but only for a moment, as well as plenty more hands-on images.
I, as did most of our forum users, hoped for a brown G1 similar to the early brown Zune. This was not the case here. The brown is a very light, faded shade, almost a grey in fact. It has the same soft touch casing as the black version. It is unclear as to weather the keyboard is a different color, as we saw in the black and white model.
I’m curious to know which your color favorite is. The black looks slick, but the white has been surprisingly popular too. Let me know in the comments.

I initially liked the black one, but now I am liking the white one more. It looks nice with the silver back. I don't see the white one on T-Mobile's store yet, though. Just black and brown.

I hate to tell you, but those pictures of the brown display the color inaccurately. It's totally washed out by the flash, and you can see that the black also looks very grey-ish. Gizmodo's hands-on review shows it to be much more of a dark chocolatey brown. The keyboard is also a grey/silver color.

Hi - sorry to alter the subject slightly here but does anyone know what the price of the G1 is in the UK and if there is a different RRP for colour options?

Yeah, that brown looks completely gray compared to all the other brown photos I'm been seeing around. I also don't know why this article claimed the brown color to be so rare when most of the videos I've seen online is using it.

I want the black... with white or brown I think if you drop it. it's gonna show scratches more... just my opinion tho

Not necessarily. Scratches are visible with any color. It all depends what color ther interior plastic is. White might actually be the best at concealing scratches.

I was thinking about getting the brown one but when I got to the TMO store they said they only had the black available. So I just went with the black one.

To confirm that the brown is closer to the darker ones seen in videos, the reporter for CNET characterized the brown color to being close to bronze. by akarol
