I got the gunmetal version yesterday, I'm in Europe so it came with the cover which I'm actually quite happy with.

The cover gives you an extra bit of grip on the phone

Gunmetal grey, looks fantastic with the provided case.
[One (M8) General] bailey37821:
Wanted Gold badly but could not find one anywhere near me. Gun metal from ATT it was then.

With HTC struggling so badly and relying on the M8 to pull them out of debt, I would have figured they would had made sure everyone had a choice and had the stock levels up.

If I wind up getting this, probably going to be silver. Looks more striking in person IMO.

Gray
[One (M8) General] princeplanet:
I have the silver, and I looked at the gray. I like them both. If it means anything, while taking it to a VZW store at the mall to see what cases were out there, the salesman said that mine (silver) was less slippery than his (gray). I don't know it its true or not; I'm just relating what he said to me.

I liked the feel of the grey one. But I came from the glacier silver M7 and the white bands started turning yellowish no matter how much I kept it clean over time and I did not want that again...

[One (M8) General] Nippero:
So Ive had the Gunmetal for like 2 weeks now.

By the end of the first week I already noticed some tiny scratches in the back, so I put a clear back protector on.

Such a shame ): The protector adds a bit of grip to the back but I miss the feeling of metal.

Definitely scratches much easier than the glacial silver M7 I had for a year. It was always naked, and had no visible scratches.

I don't regret it though. The gunmetal color definitely looks better in my opinion.
[One (M8) General] benziii:
Ordered a gold one which is coming in a couple of days. Gold is a bit much, but since I never use a case (and also like my stuff mostly brandless) I'm going to skin the back part. So basically I did it for gold looking speakers.
[One (M8) General] Brettka7:
I wanted a silver One and was disappointed to find it wouldn't be available on my carrier. I got the gray one, and was stunned how much more I like it in person in comparison to silver. Gray instantly became my favorite color on the M8.

I have a lot of mixed feelings about the silver and gray. They're both so nice, yet the gray is a bit more slippery and looks a tad nicer IMO.
[One (M8) General] EddyOS:
Got a look at the 'Gold' One before buying my Grey One - Not a fan, although it isn't a garish as the box makes out. I'd say it's more like a champagne gold colour
[One (M8) General] KiamatDusk:
I gave the gunmetal a hard look, but ended up with silver. Part of that was because every single review of the gunmetal grey one noted how incredibly slippery the phone was and, since I don't want to cover this beautiful phone, I went with the silver Unlocked version. I would've gone with the DE, but it doesn't come in Silver, and Sense has gotten so good, that I never found a compelling reason to root my M7 (sacrilege, I know! :laugh:)
[One (M8) General] SolarTrans:
Well I'd consider AdAway a good enough reason to root any Android phone ;)

Glad you like it!
[One (M8) General] jurkec:
I went for the gunmetal grey. Mainly because phones4u only had this, gold, and blue. It is quite slippery, but the stock cover does the trick.

I didn't want the gold one because it looks quite girly and blue one looks just terrible.
[One (M8) General] Sunil_k:

I just got my second m8 in Gunmetal Gray. First one was perfect until I kept it on my MacBook and it slipped sliding on the sharp edge. I find the gunmetal look better but silver is amazing too except the fact white inserts will turn yellow over time . Not only on the back the front also has polycarbonate band which will turn yellow over time

[One (M8) General] Shudder123:
Gunmetal gray for me. Loving it
[One (M8) General] aka120:
I went with the silver version because it's the most neutral color and nicest to my eyes. The gunmetal grey is too dark of a gray, I would just rather it be black. And as for the gold...blah hideous. Of course this is all my subjective opinion, but silver is nice on this phone.
[One (M8) General] MotoTurbo:
Bought the silver, returned it for the gunmetal grey. The silver felt much better in my hand..had that matte feel to it but seeing the silver top and bottom at night was annoying to me. I watch a lot of videos at night so I rlly wanted the screen to just blend in to the sides of the phone in the dark. Wish they made a flat black one or at least a black for the front and white on the back like the nexus 5. Almost bought a s5 just for the black color option haha
[One (M8) General] SolarTrans:
They do have a black M8 coming, from what I've heard. The Harmon/Kardon edition is black with gold. I understand about the video, though :P
[One (M8) General] radicalisto:
Gunmetal Grey here, had it for two days now. Slippy but I got the free HTC gel case with it.
[One (M8) General] Tejr:
Gold here.. Doesn't look so nice in the freebie case, needs a clear one really. Especially as the Gold grilles don't really match the nice metal rear
[One (M8) General] richardrk:
Harmon-Kardon Gold/Black for me. The gold compliments the black so nicely. :)
[One (M8) General] Funkym0nkey:
I went for GPE, so no real colour choice.

But even if I was going for normal version, I would have gone Silver just because I have seen what any other colour than the natural silver looks like if phone picks up nicks here and there.

Gunmetal grey develops ugly silver scratches or dents if dropped or scratched even little bit. Same with Gold. Silver stays silver.
[One (M8) General] CHlCKEN:
Not my favorite honestly the design would just blend in the phone .. Not my style . I'm getting M8 in a week and i sais I was getting gunmetal but gold isent bad either and it feels less slippery so idk I'll probably just ask the T-Mobile dude to pick whatever 1
[One (M8) General] nmil1484:
Gunmetal grey

I didn't have an option when I bought mine. I just thought it was the new color. No comparing though, the dark looks very dramatic and makes the bezel almost disappear. I just decided to go naked and ordered a red carbon fiber wrap for the back. I think the red and Greg will look good...hopefully.

[One (M8) General] Purest:
The Harman Kardon edition color I think is the best one, just sucks it's on the worst carrier.

How easy is it to remove the outer shell from the M8 and put it on another?
[One (M8) General] SolarTrans:
Yeah I agree. It's impossible to switch shells on the M8... Look at iFixit's tear down. They gave it a 1/10 IIRC.
[One (M8) General] Purest:
Damn that sucks, I think it would be a pretty cool mod.
[One (M8) General] EvilEvo67:
I'm a Bruins fan

I'm a Bruins fan so the black and gold of the M8 Harman Kardon edition fits me perfectly. But I definitely love the red!!
[One (M8) General] SolarTrans:
IKR! If there's one thing Apple does right, it's releasing all colors and models of a device to all carriers at the same time. If only an Android OEM could do that consistently :P

It sucks that Sprint can just buy the rights to such an awesome color. I

f it were an S5, the switch would be extremely easy though (really expensive, but easy).

[One (M8) General] pj1980:
personally i love the silver and i like how the banding on back is white, i'm used to white phones so this color scheme is more for me. on a side note though i looked at the grey colored m8 in person and the special texture it has feels like plastic, with the silver phone there is no doubt i'm holding a metal phone, but that's my opinion.
[One (M8) General] SolarTrans:
Yeah that was pretty much exactly how I made my decision. I prefer white phones, and the much lighter color scheme of the silver better suited me. Also, the metal felt much more like metal.
[One (M8) General] CEROSERDNA:
I have the GUnmetal color love it as my second phone
[One (M8) General] Spondronis:
IMO the best color is Silver. There is really only one reason I chose silver over the gunmetal or red, and that's because I've seen other people's m7s in the past that were in red or black. As the phone gets used, the chamfered edges get tiny nics and scratches, and the edge of the phone becomes littered with tiny silver specs, making the phone look weathered.

With that said, by sticking with the natural silver-colored body, you eliminate this effect. All of this, of course, depends if you're going to use your phone without a case. As i see it, If you like to use a plastic case on your metal phone, you should have bought a Nexus 5 and spared yourself the added cost.
[One (M8) General] Debizzle:

We got the choice of one colour in Aus - gunmetal grey with Vodafone at least!
[One (M8) General] gtg465x:
I think gunmetal looks the best, but silver will hold up the best to wear. If silver gets scratches, even deep ones, they aren't really noticeable because it's the natural color of aluminum and it's the same color all the way through. If the other colors get scratches, they will show as silver and will be more noticeable.
[One (M8) General] SolarTrans:
The type of finish on the silver and gold models is different than that of the gunmetal, so it's much more resilient on those two.

[One (M8) General] PurpleFries:
Got silver cause it was the only one in store. Was pretty pleases with the decision after I saw a gunmetal one. Don't trust that finish to look clean 2 years down the line.
[One (M8) General] SolarTrans:
Yep Silver is much more robust. However, I've noticed with mine that the white bands on the back have gotten tinted blue from being in jeans all the time, and I can't clean it off no matter what detergent I use. I'm kinda sad that this happened, but it's very minor. Other than that, silver has a much more resilient finish.

I got the gunmetal M8 without any hesitations. The silver reminds me too much of the M7 in a bad way.
[One (M8) General] daffie:
I went for the Glacial Silver version after long consideration. Had the M7 before the M8 in the same color...which I think is beautiful (and if I'm totally honest I prefer the look and feel of the M7)

In regards to Glacial Silver vs Gunmetal Grey color:

I love the color of the back and the sides of the Glacial Silver. However the color of the front (top and bottom parts) are much nicer on the Gunmetal Grey. On the Glacial Silver version the top and bottom have some sort of plasticky/shiny/see-through look which I don't really care for (again, the look of the M7 was perfect in this regard).
[One (M8) General] enel_:
When the M8 came out I was in love with the Gunmetal Grey color, I told myself this is going to be my next phone.

Few months later, I came across a cheap Glacial Silver M8 and I couldn't resist the offer, so I bought it.

Now, I'm in love with this phone and this color, I wouldn't change it for any other phone or the Gunmetal Grey M8 ?
[One (M8) General] BigfootWallis:
I'm planning on putting a black carbon fiber skin on the M8 i'm getting, I've been torn between gunmetal and amber =] red was tempting but im not that bold haha. It seems like most prefer the polished look of the gunmetal over the matte finish on the amber.

[One (M8) General] kertong:
Sorry to bump this old post, I'm a bit late to the party but I figured some people who might still be torn between gray/silver might appreciate this.

I've been using the gunmetal gray version from work for the past few months. I loved the phone enough to buy one as my personal one - I first bought an LG G3, and while the display size and form factor was amazing, it just felt so cheap, hollow, and creaky after getting used to the M8. And contrary to what all the other reviews said, i found the camera on the M8 superior to the G3's as the G3 splotched and removed fine detail too aggressively, especially in low light (see example here: http://imgur.com/a/JnxDi ) I returned it to the AT&T store and bought the M8 instead, in glacial silver.

My impressions? The gunmetal gray looks more subtle and subdued, it doesn't visually jump out at you to grab your attention. In a way, it almost looks "dull". When I saw the glacial silver in person, it looked brighter, and the bright top/bottom bezels contrasted nicely with the black of the display. I also preferred the texture - it feels more like raw aluminum, whereas the gunmetal felt just too polished for me (though I didn't find it too slippery personally). The silver looked to be born straight out of aluminum, whereas the gray looks more 'processed'.

One other thing I noticed - the display is much colder/blue tinted on the gunmetal gray, whereas it has a warmer, more yellower glow on the glacial silver. Don't think it's related to the color of the phone but may be some QC variance.

Here's a photo side by side:

I have the gunmetal that's the only color T-Mobile sells. IMO it looks better than the silver but it scratches easily too compared to silver. I have a silver m7 that has virtually zero scratches and my m8 already has a few hairline scratches on the back from placing it on tables, etc.
