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

Fixed for the OP
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
brown brown brown
I knew i was not crazy when i read brown on the box!!!

Every unit that we have sold are dark brown. There is no black. If there is, it might be rare to different countries or something like that. But as I said all of the ones I have seen are brown

Yeah, big props if you can deal with it. I've experienced my fair share of dead pixels and it's probably the worst thing ever. No matter the location, it draws the eye. Incredibly annoying. Wouldn't blame anyone for exchanging it.

Yeah man, guess I have had some bad ones. I had an Evo that was plagued by a couple issues, one being a dead pixel. It seemed to develop another rather quickly. Thankfully the last phone with any issues. My first N7 had one, found during a screen test. Replacement is perfect. (replaced due to screen lift) Good luck.

A single dead pixel popped up over night.. right in the middle of the screen. That's really annoying..
It's black.. so it's visible in most apps. But is that enough to order a replacement?
Besides that, my N7 is flawless. Damn that's unfortunate.
dead pixel already!?

i buy a black too
I know its just a colour but i quite like the white as I'm sure others do to. But with very little In the way of actual confirmation I have been disappointed.
Every day I check xda for news or leaked info etc but nothing.
Surprisingly though I found this info else where on the nexus 4 production dates thread and seems to be widely missed. Although It may have been brought up I am unaware of it.
Viva... Something or other (sorry on the mobile app and can't remember your username) posted up a link to a service update PDF from lg which includes lots of info about changes made and dates these were introduced
If you look at the most recent ones at the end of march that discuss changing the supports for the volume rocker on the phone it specifically states two different part numbers one for a white volume rocker and one for a black.
So if this is at the end of march then a may launch of white seems ever more likely
Anyway here is said manual to download thanks to viva

Can we think beyond hegemonic masculinity here? These are phones. Some people like to have color choices for the devices they're buying. Doesn't mean you have to buy that color or like it yourself.
From the PDF
2. changed side button
changed measure to improve sensation of side buttons.
(Black – MBG64683101, White – MBG64683102
part number is not changed.)
Interesting... I want more information about the white nexus 4. I hope that information comes soon.

If anything, I would assume that they would give out white N4's at Google I/O just like last year with the GNex and N7.
The woman that sold my N4 at a Carphone Warehouse told me what color would I want the nexus on. I told her that there was only one, but on the screen the white appears hehe

Everyone's entitled to their opinions, but yours is quite frankly undeniably wrong. Simple fact.
I ordered a nexus 4(8GB) from Google play store.I have received the package.but when i unboxed the nexus 4 i found out that , after the sliding out the outer cover , the inner box cover which is sealed by 2 plasters was not there.i could directly see the device. The cover with the nexus logo on the right bottom was not there. Is this a problem? or is it a new way of packing the nexus 4? Please help.
The red circle marks the cover that was missing!.
Please help!
Thank you.
P.S. The picture i have posted is from Google images.
That's weird. I guess call up Google support and ask for a free pair of headphones or bumper or something.
Does the phone ahow signs of use?

I bought one 2 weeks ago and the cover was on mine, so it is not new packaging.
What cover are you talking about? Your's looks exactly how mine came.
EDIT: you mean the top half of the box? definitely not right if you didn't get that.

That don't look normal at all, doesn't seem safe to be shipped like that since the phone wouldnt be protected at all. Luckily its fine but I would still call Google.
