    I don't know. After seeing the black in person at Best Buy, I actually like the black version much better. Though that might change if I see the white in person too :)

    The white looks good, but I think an all black version would be much better.

    I love the black and white combination. The all-white isn't much appealing to my eyes.

    i dont know which color to get!!!

    black= hides dirt, but looks a bit off considering the lappy is light color.

    white= blends in with overall color of laptop, but gets dirty quick i would assume.

    Have you guys noticed a button or a box on the right side of the key pad? What is it? I've not seen that on US models

    I don't like the silver-white combo. All white or all black would have been much better.

    i ordered white. but for some reason i kinda want black...but then the white looks really nice too...but i have seen more pics of the black keyboard on review sites, ads, ect...

    maybe im just wanting black now because thats all i see and have yet to see a person using a white keyboard? all the pics i saw with a person using the fz190 was with a black keyboard.

    any pics with a person using the white one?

    I still prefer the black and silver. It makes for a nice contrast IMO.

    I'll get flamed for this, but I think the all white looks like a entry level Panasonic.

    I just can't imagine what the white keyboard will look like two years hence. Every light colored keyboard I have EVER seen, be it a desktop or laptop has nasty gunk on the edges of the keys. A black one hides that. The gunk is still there you just don't notice it.
