Can't consider Celcom coz maxis is the only telco with decent service in my housing area, so yeah, I'm basically stuck with them On the bright side though, since the whole social media fiasco, I'm now getting 10GB for my maxis OnePlan 128 compared to 3GB when I first signed the plan with them last year so I'm happy

I think it's not so much that it scratches easily but more like every single tiny scratch is more obvious due to the glossy glass-like finish. Here's a look at the real thing posted in the other topic: -

As of now Gold has the least votes... D*mn, hopefully still can sell my 6S Plus 64GB Gold when the 7 reaches our shores

A little warning from Engadget, for those considering Jet Black: -

The phones come in new colors too: a matte black and "jet black." The former looks exactly what you'd expect a black iPhone to look like, though the dark finish does a good job obscuring those antenna bands. Jet black, meanwhile, is at once lovely and a bit of a bummer. When I say lovely, I really mean it: The moment I touched one, I couldn't believe it was made of the same 7000 series aluminum as the others. In fact, it doesn't feel like metal at all, thanks to Apple's lengthy anodization and polishing process. Jet black iPhone bodies feel just as glossy and slick to the touch as their glass screens, and that unity makes them feel like seamless, cohesive wholes. The entire thing is seriously impressive, even if it feels sort of plasticky.

Then the scratches and smudges appear. I'm not a case person, but I take good care of my things and exercised what felt like a more than reasonable level of caution carrying these new phones around. It didn't even take 24 hours for the first batch of scratches to appear on my jet black iPhone 7's back, which was either the result of placing it on a bar's granite countertop or repeatedly shoving it into my empty jeans pocket. Those little nicks have only multiplied, which could be an understandable deal-breaker for some of you.

Global shortage for the jet black right now, even after Apple warned that it will scratch easily

Same here, I think.

So those opting for Gold, Silver and Rose Gold will have less competition to grab a unit when the phone is released

I think a phone being slippery or not is rather irrelevant since most people will slap on a case anyway, and kiasu people like me will slap on one of those bulky Otterbox cases making the phone big and ugly, but ultimately having the peace of mind

Yup, black looks to be the popular color this round

Sleepless night for us in Malaysia soon... October 14

You mean help you buy one, or buy one for you as a gift?

Then must look for a big water fish

All scared of how Jet Black easily scratches.

I think even with a case there are bound to be some openings that are not covered by the case.. Or worse, the case might even scratch the phone!

The question is will your Jet Black still look as good once you have coated it?

But the 3GS is plastic right?

I think no matter how transparent a case is, the jet black will lose some of its appeal with the use of a case. But then again you need a case to minimise scratches so no win scenario

Well, if it doesn't take the glossiness away from the Jet Black then it probably is an option

Conclusion: New color is preferred for new model

Yeah, white is much better at hiding fingerprints than black
