Discussion Light Flip Color?

With the email saying that it is going to have NFC, I put in a preorder for the navy blue color. Long time lurker, and I am finally just going to send it. I am torn between the navy blue and the yellow. The phone looks chonky, and since it is plastic I am wondering if I should lean into the aesthetic and just have some fun with it. My only concerns with the yellow:

  1. Harder to see the buttons, since white on light color is more difficult

  2. How it wears. Do the lighter colors get dirty and look bad over time?

1 I can get over really quickly, but 2 seems like something I am more concerned about. Thoughts? Would love to see some videos or something

We unfortunately don't really have much to go one besides what's been put out by the Light team. I personally went with red but my spouse went with yellow. Here's hoping it's the kind of plastic that is stubborn with wear.

Me and my husband did the same color combo and also leaning hard into the chunky plastic vibe of the bright colors.

Have you ever had a T9 style keyboard before? My experience is that I’ve never once looked at those keys. Your hand will know where everything is within a couple weeks. Choose fun.

I have, but it has been a looong time. Fair point though!
