POLL* How many 'settled' for a Space Grey 5S?

[576316]

People who settle for a colour the didn't want are dumb. At that point it becomes and impulse and not something you really want. I'd rather sit here in the knowledge my Gold 5s will be delivered soon than rush out to end up with a colour I don't want...unless you wanted Space Grey.

Originally wanted gold, second choice was white, settled for space age grey.

Why settle for your THIRD option? You couldn't wait ~2weeks and get what you wanted? People baffle me...

First I really wanted the silver, but after seeing the space grey in person I decided to get that one instead. It's awesome

I settled, but only because the Apple rep said I could exchange it within 30 days for either the gold or silver.

I've got a carbon stained cherry wood wrap on it and it looks fantastic, but I'll do the exchange in a couple of weeks because I know the gold will enhance the wood color.

That wood wrap is suffocating that poor iPhone :O . Doesn't look good in my opinion but congrats on a new 5S

I settled for a smaller capacity. Think I'll see how things go w/ iTunes Match and only download my major playlists. I never got close to filling my 64GB anyway (but I was significantly over 32GB w/ everything loaded).

Interesting poll results..

Didn't settle. Tons of space grey in stock when I arrived at AT&T, but I had my heart set on gold.

I can be very patient...my 5 will hold me through til gold is more readily avail, or I may just wait for the 6. Sent from my iPhone 5.

The wood is so thin, compared to any case - it's almost as thin as a film wrap, but is real wood. The picture might not show it, but the wood only adds 0.010" to the thickness of the phone. Adds a bit of organic to an otherwords inorganic piece of tech.

It isn't for everyone just like a leather, plastic or silicone case doesn't appeal to everyone.

I settled bought Grey 32 gb but then returned it to the store a few hours later. Still deciding weather to just order the Gold 32gb and get it in November. I guess it'll be a treat when it comes.

Initially thought I was settling because the gold looked so cool, but after seeing the gold in person today I'm glad I didn't go with it. It looks kind of gaudy in person, gaudy and kind of nasty once it gets fingerprints on it, and the white doesn't match at all. I don't think the gray is beautiful though, bit it's nicer. I think the only phone apple made which was truly beautiful was the 4/4s, if I could somehow upgrade the internals I would choose that over the 5/5s in a second.

Go gold and naked, or go home.

i wanted a silver but im not mad about the space grey. ive had a white iphone since the 3G. Time for a mild change.

 

[dmbatson]

I was first at my carrier line and had a choice 1 64GB silver or 64 black (more in stock) I said black because my 5 was the white. Gold would have been cool to have but not losing an ounce if sleep over my choice.

Why thought did they make the box white for a black phone? I just found that weird.

Well as the first replier I just wanted to say that I returned my space gray iPhone and ordered a silver model on the apple website.
