White Galaxy Nexus collection thread - $409-440

I wouldn't say that this is a smokin' deal but seeing as people want this for used ones I figured it wasn't bad. Seems to be a reputable seller but only has 6 of them left.

no international versions come with a warranty. you will have to buy from google if you want a warranty.

I got it straight from Amazon today for 9 bucks more (faster shipping with Prime, easier to return if it is defective). It's unfortunate because there aren't that many great cases for the Galaxy Nexus where you can show off the white.

Because $400 is cheaper than buying one from the Play Store and converting it.

Black or Brown?

I saw a good price on the Nexus 7 but it said "Brown". I thought it was supposed to be black. Any clarification?
Thanks,

Mine is black and when I ordered it from the play store 2 weeks ago there was no color option.

Stop... MUFFIN TIME!!!

I saw this on the carphone warehouse website listed as "brown".
As far as I'm aware, there is no such thing as a brown Nexus 7...in fact I've found a quote attributed to a Google employee who says that is the case. The Nexus 7 is one colour only (there was a white one available at some sort of event, but not for the public) and any website that says otherwise is wrong.
I think the issue possibly comes from the Nexus 7 being "actually" a very dark brown...but so dark brown that it looks black as far as I can tell. I've also heard that the label on the box for the Nexus 7 says they are brown, but I'd have to check in my attic to be able to confirm that.

The rare brown nexus 7. I would get it and stand out from everyone else.

Or is that because you got a brown one and not a black one?
It seems odd that this is such a popular device but there is dispute over what colour it is!

Mine has a very dark brown back. You only realize it is brown if you hold something truly black next to it. The color is like a 99% cocoa dark chocolate bar.

Bugger. Was just about to order from Carphone Warehouse and they are now out of stock! I got my answer but not my device!

Hahahaha, sorry but thats absolutely brilliant !
Same happened to me a few months back, was like should I get 8 or 16GB, by the time I'd decided on the 16GB they were out of stock.

Mine is also a very very dark shade of brown. It's very hard to tell for most people if it's black or brown.
On the box it says brown.

Don't even get me started on the Nexus 4!
I am thinking about driving 8 miles to my local store to pick one up instead. Are they any good?

Ok guys we discussed this in the off topic thread..
READ YOUR BOX.. Find something in your house you know is DEEP DARK BLACK.. lay it in the light and lay the nexus face down on it. YOU Will see the nexus 7 back is a deep brown .. its not black..
the nexus 7 has a deep chocolate brown back on it... it even says so on the box .. you know the box is never wrong .. hehe

Yep I don't like the accessories being white either. Not sure why they did that.
Sent from my SPH-L720

Yep I hate it too same laziness apple did with the iPhone 5. I bought black because I wanted everything black.

I don't see how having white accessories is "lazy". Is making white accessories less difficult then black ones? No. Charger color is irrelevant to the phone and white headphones are kind of the norm.
And anyways, this is a purely aesthetic thing and personal choice. I love the white headphones and charger since it contrasts well with the black phone, plenty of people like them. You can just buy whatever color headphones or charger you'd like. You bought a black phone, not black accessories.

And if someone bought a white S4 they would probably complain if they got black accessories. I don't think that my gripe isn't valid. It's logic if you ask me.

It was done on purpose. Samsungs gotta sell those accessories to make that $$... The white headphones are fine by me. When my cat eats through the free ones my blcak mist came with I'll pick up some black ones to match the phone. Until then ... d-_-b

Eh, I doubt the majority of people would complain even if that was so, and I haven't seen any other complaints about it.
Black and White go together, it's not like they gave you purple or blue headphones or something. And my point was it wasn't "lazy" of them, I have never heard of anyone caring about the color of their charger lol. And white headphones and black phone is pretty standard, and I would assume most people that actually care and use the headphones for music, would have their own, only ever use the Samsung ones for calling.
