They should do a yellow version, the new button layout looks like....

That will be the GS 4!
A purple phone you say?
We'll be looking fabulous.
Just need matching handbags now!
Sorry, I mean man bags!
Here's the thing if a few million people world wide want a black phone and Sammy have a few million phone innards they can make a billion quid just by changing the polycarbonate colouring process to black, easiest billion anyone ever made, I reckon they'll do it after creatively manipulating the markets desire
Doesn't quite work like that
The problem is the majority of people (average joes) will not care about the colour as much as what some of us here do and therefore will either just pick the blue/purple/black (whatever colour it is
) or the white model and that will be it and if they don't, they will simply go with another brand of phone like the grey HTC one X or black one S etc. instead and chances are that when/if Samsung release a proper black model, these people won't go and buy the new black model when they already have a white/blue or a different handset solely because of the colour. Also a lot of people use cases on their phones nowadays, therefore the colour isn't as much of an issue then.
Don't forget we only make up a very small % of the population that
really do care about all these things like colour, design, hardware etc. when compared to the general public.
Even if I had the blue or white GS 3 now and Samsung did release a black version, I wouldn't even consider changing what I had just because of the colour despite loving the colour black for tech devices etc.
Plus the majority of people I imagine will be taking new phones out on contract and therefore will be pretty much stuck on whatever phone/colour of GS 3 they went for, for the next 18/24 months, unless they plan on buying out their contract and taking a new one out for a black GS 3, unlocking their current one and selling it on the auction site and then buying the black GS 3 outright etc.
Heck they won't even know about the
possibility of a black version in the future as nothing has been confirmed at all, there aren't even any rumours being reported by the android sites afaik.
If Samsung do actually have any intentions of releasing a black model in the future, then it was stupid of them to not have have released it with just the white model, instead of possibly 2-5 months (maybe even more) down the line after the main release date, by which time new and better phones will be out anyway i.e. the nexus phones etc. and the general interest in the GS 3 will have died down by then as well.
That is how I look at it anyway
Hope I am wrong though!
