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

Well if you're lazy like me then no. But if you feel like you've been conned out of your money then return it.

sure... you paid a fair deal for the phone- if you're dissatisfied, then samsung/retailer should rectify it.
but it does sound like lots of hassle for a single pixel.
of course...especially when you will be noticing it, everytime when you look at it
i'd return it . im sure now you see and look at the dead pixel everytime you look at the screen as you have already spotted it.
Well, kind of how I feel guys.

Probably not, depends on how noticeable it was.
If everything else works fine, there is always the chance you'll return it and get something far more annoying.
It reminds me of friends who used to return monitors that had a bad pixel.

Yes I definitely would. Not sure if they'll accept the return though because of just one dead pixel.
yeah im sure it will be fine with exchange to newset.

Talking with the vendor, hoping they take care of me. They have a pretty awful policy on the books there though at 11 dead pixels for a return...
They're talking to the supplier, i will keep you posted.
Aren't there any apps that force colours to all the pixels which then, in turn, might unlock the green one?

Exactly, there are methods of fixing dead pixels with a good chance of success. I would definitely google it and try them out (and maybe try to figure out which may be best for AMOLED screens).
Then, if nothing works and the dead pixel is in some annoying place I would ask for a replacement.

Even if you don't mind, say in the off chance you sell it later - and the buyer notices it and decides not to - you'll regret not getting a new phone.

the grass is always greener on the other side. same with phones now i guess.
I compared my pebble blue s3 to a store dummy phone and my battery cover was a completely different color. The dummy was lighter and didn't have the blue "chrome" look that my phone has. I have no idea if its because it was a dummy phone or if there are variations in different batches. Maybe the dummy had one of the defective battery covers, who knows.
who cares?

I have like three our four of them around 1mm in diameter, but like everybody said I only notice it at night or in a dark room with a black background. it's nothing that really bothers me because it's not just any black background but a specific one. I don't know what it is but I dont think it's much of an issue unless you're a perfectionist or have OCD. The only thing I care about is not having dead pixels. I had the vibrant before this for two years and the screen has no dead pixels or burning so I think Samsung can be trusted when it comes to the lifespan of the screens.

Limited availability isn't even a valid complaint of the product. its a criticism of where you bought the device from. They were readily available at Walmart, Office Max, Best Buy, and Staples for me. I went with Walmart to get my standard 10% discount, but I could and still can go anywhere and see at least 5-10 ready to be bought.

You are remembering correct. Very simple, just drag an icon and release on top of existing icon. Boom automatic folder created. Can put the folders in the app bar also.

The speakers are strategically placed to give stereo spread and still keep the device this with a thin bezel.
I don't understand how the last model had a single crappy speaker, this one has stereo and it is a disadvantage because of placement?

on mine (Verizon version), there isn't really a gap, it just leaves the 4G icon, but the data arrows aren't
I think I see what OP is talking about, it separates the toggleable/changeable items from those that are permanent.
I don't know if that was intended or this is a bug and that is just coincidence, to me it almost looks like instead of hiding the 4g icon or w/e ATT just put a black square there so when on wifi the space for that 4g icon is still reserved.

Wait, what? So I'm supposed to "not care" about it? I mean... I can live with it, and I'm certainly not returning my phone because of it... but I'd definitely rather not have it there. It's annoying. It's almost (highlight on "almost") like the virtual version of getting a stained device, would you not care about a stain ?
I too think it's the 4G icon becoming all black. I don't like it either.
Were lucky we can remove, adjust, flash and customize our phones , when I had my first cell phone back in 93 customizing it hahahahaha, not even in the same ball park, I had a better chance of flying to the moon. Yes we had carrier logos blastered all over our phones. If you don't like it take the frigging phone back and buy an iphone
Xbox one, well look at it at Microsoft's view point. Windows 8 is a total bust! The only item left that makes the big bucks is the Xbox, Xbox live , at this point if they planned on releasing the Xbox one with all the original requirements, people would flocked over to the ps4, leaving Microsoft as the new IBM, just my opinion

right. I was referencing at the "feeling" of it, not to any specific comment. that's why I didn't quote anyone. but if you ask me, then no, I would not care so much that I wouldn't buy the phone. As a matter of fact, I did not care so much. I knew about it before I got the MotoMaker card at the AT&T store.
I would have probable had second thoughts, had I known about the camera, though... but I think I would have still bought it.
