Why does the white phone cost over $20.00 more than the identicle black phone?

Possibly because people who prefer to have a white phone have fewer choices, so they want to capitalize on that. I bought this white phone for my handicapped brother because it is easier to see buttons, etc. on a white surface. However, I strongly caution anyone against buying this TERRIBLE phone. It sells itself on the large, clear buttons and display; however, it is a very complicated phone: what takes 1 step in any other brand takes 4 steps on this one. A very frustrating phone that has many strikes against it, all of which I can't remember because we had to replace it.

Is there any reasonable explanation why the ones in color cost more than the black one?

I bought the less expensive one, the SB67158 . From what I see what I bought was the BASE only and I also bought 4 additional handsets. The SB67138 which is $82 MORE just includes one handset. Mine just had the base this more expensive one has the base and an extra handset. Additional handsets are $89. We LOVE this phone, had no problems and have had it 6 months, handsest hold a charge fine, sound is great.,

Amazon forces sellers to join with other similar models. The page you are looking at is not mine but the one Amazon forces me to join and his/her is a clone and he/she admits it below in the question area, and I reported it to Amazon that it was a clone, but it's still here. Mine are 16gb N9002 and are genuine Samsung brands. Sorry for how I have to sell my phones I don't like it. You can do like I will be doing when the first one arrives. I'll download the Au Tu Tu Benchmark app and run that program. It will run tests on the CPU and such and report it's findings. If it's not a Samsung it will tell you whose it is. Plus not only do I offer a 30-day NO HASSLE return policy Amazon also will protect you against clones. So you can purchase with confidence or you can e go the Bay (if you catch my drift) and look for seller: hlkdestiny8804 where my ad is much clearer and the price is the same (but free shipping). I will get it first and if it's not genuine Ill be sending it back and fully refunding your purchase. I've had clones before and nothing but headaches and won't have anything to do with them as I'd rather be a happy seller than stressed with buyers complaining about those cheap phones. If you read my ad these are special ordered phones. I just can't keep up with the huge volume of sales and it's a unique model so I had to go special order only which takes 2-3 weeks from overseas 2 me 2 you. I will be placing a order tomorrow Saturday 1/25/14 around 3pm so if you make your purchase by then I'll add your purchase to this weeks order. My next order will be next Friday 1/31/14 after 3pm for those that purchase by that time, and so on. Thank you for your interests and it WILL be a genuine Samsung or you get a full refund. Rick

I have no idea! They are the same camera just different colors. I guess the that the black camera selling better so they put it at the higher price, and the white ones aren't moving fast enough so they dropped the price of them to get some moving out quicker... Economics 101.

It's because that one has a touch screen. Touch screens are expensive. I mean that's why it's more expensive of course.

The only differences between the two companies are possibly the way the sim card is stored. but other than that, there is no physical difference between the two phones. Honestly, this case is so awesome, so trust me when I say "buy it!"

I'm not sure what $71.00 model you are referring to? I love this phone, I have had 4 of these OCTANE phones and the only reason for that many is because I wear the keypads out from texting so much. This model has been the most reliable of any cell phone I have ever had, I will regret the day when I am stuck having to use a stupid touch screen keypad because I won't be able to get this model any longer. As far as the price goes, I paid $120.00 for a spare I keep in my safe to use when I wear my current phone out. I hope this helps?

The silicone is gray and in front it's white just as in the picture. The black you are seeing is the colour of the phone

Newegg has the same phone, known as the "Huawei IDEOS U8150". The only difference is that no telco touched it, so it doesn't have a T-mobile sticker, or any form of carrier lockout. After you lose the T-Mobile subsidy, the price comes out to $8 less. Strange things happening in the cell market, nowadays.Edit: found out why - it was a SECRET refurb! Newegg never said so on their listing, sneaky guys.

Let me remind you that it's a 25$ phone - a price it fails to justify anyway

our base phone is black and lights up with white keys. This picture is showing white base phone, keys may be yellow so it can be easier to use, instead of white on white. Manufactures may be thinking a little contrast would be helpful, when you see yellow you will know someone is using the phone. We are still enjoying our phone. Good luck with your decision.

These phones are locked to AT&T;, but may be unlocked through third party services for around $20

It's a standard sim card, not the smaller version that goes into newer phones. If you go to a TMobile store, you can buy one for $10. HTH.

I would not buy a phone other than from apple or Verizon. I learned the hard way that the phone was altered; therefore, apple could not warrant it. The phone I received was white but when I registered with our phone company, it was black. I am not sure what you mean but you can register the phone with your carrier and it will not affect your contract period. if you are not under a contract, than it remains with no contract.

Package deal, so it's $10 more than the replacement cell alone. I've never understood it but I've bought it.
