White Galaxy Nexus Unboxing [Video]

[dnlsmy]

The White Galaxy Nexus is now available on NegriElectronics for a cool $651.50. I'm personally still waiting for a stateside release for the warranty, but here's a video of the unboxing of a white one I found.

UPDATE: Much better video now on Engadget, here's the link: http://www.engadget.com/2012/02/13/white-galaxy-nexus-hands-on-a-taste-of-vanilla-flavored-ice-cre/

Worth it? For the price, you can get the CAN Version with the extended battery and cover...

Only you can decide if its worth it. Its $52 more than the grey version from Negri. That's the price of an extended battery + cover.

Also, there are already many threads on this lol.

No audio. It's the same phone, just different colors.

 

[biggiestuff]

hard to tell but it looks like it has a smooth cover instead of textured. Might make it easier for those who want to put back protection on it like a zagg.

Wish they made the front white too.

thats what I thought at first too, but when you consider that the UI is very dark and the top/bottom bars are completely black, it plays better with a black bezel as you can't really tell where the UI starts and the bezel ends.

Completely agree . I like white in front too bit in the end it does end up looking better cause of the ui.

I'll wait for the 32GB version instead.

I'll just wait for the white rear housing to hit ebay or parts4repair.com and swap it onto my current phone.

I actually think the black-grey-white combo could look nice.

Looks pretty nice. Really wish they'd make a 32GB GSM version though.

I liked they put a North Americian power charger in there. Gah, I hate my Euro charger with the adapter, such a PITA it comes unplugged all the time.

I will be ALL over this once CDMA drops.

Well I'd imagine they will offer the white battery door cover as well. They currently have this combo available for the standard GSM Nexus for $36:

I'd imagine the white rear housing and battery door will be similar in price.

This seems like a much simpler alternative to what I was originally going to do. Can't wait to see if it shows up there.
