the consensus on this forum seems to be that silver is the way to go. however as it seems that o2 are not willing to compete against vodafone for my custom - i will get the black. i dont really mind this as i do preffer the look of the black one however i am concerned how it will look over time. is the metal similar to that on the p1? those with the black does it seem as though the black layer may rub off over time revealing silver underneath? the metal on my p1 has shed its top layer in the corners but it doesn't look too bad as it is silver on silver. black on silver would be different altogether...

here's a pic from the x1 discussion a couple of days ago for comparison
I chose the silver as I really don't like black phones, and having seen the black now, I definitly made the right choice!
The housing is metal with a solid feeling to it that I never got from the P1, but I can't recall if the P1 is metal or all plastic?

the front silver section of the p1 is solid metal - people who have owned the p1 for a substantial amount of time will know what i mean about the top layer wearing off.
basically all i want to know is if/when the black x1 is scratched - will is be silver underneath?

Hi Mobman,
Well as always peoples personal preferences will differ i much prefer Black phones and thought the build quality and finnish on the Black X1 was excellent. I also liked the contrast of the Silver Keyboard and don't think the finnish will deteriorate unless you abuse the X1 as the quality is really very good indeed IMO.

Hi mobman
I have always found it good although i am mainly using an Orange Sim in my Bold, Not sure if you should go for VodaFone or not and suggest you read up on a few Forums what some are saying.
As it appears VodaFone may of done some fiddling under hood of the OS on the X1 in as much as you have pre-configured access for Web an other points that can not be changed. Also apparently something about being able to use WiFi as well for certain things. I would suggest going the CPW Sim free route if you can as opposed to Voda Branded.
