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