After some readings I think they will be giving them out at Google IO with the new android 4.3. Not for sale, as they did last year with the white nexus 7.

You took the words right out of my mouth. I'm certain this will be an I/O giveaway just like the white version of the nexus 7. Whether they bring it to retail on the Google play store is unknown.:confused:

White Nexus 4 pictures go back to earlier this year. Typically white Nexus devices have been special give away releases only, not for sale.

One thing I didn't like about past white Nexus phones, was that the front was still black. So with case on it, could never tell it is a white phone. Why not make it white all around like Samsung or Apple does, do then with a white case on, still looks white all over.

Eeeeeep, the white looks hot. But given the theories mentioned, I can't imagine how I'll ever get my hands on one lol.. Without the crazy assed prices, of course.

Yeah, I'm betting on it being an I/O gift, and that's it.

Might find a few on eBay later, but they'd go for a pretty penny, I'm sure.

There was also a white Nexus S, and I believe it actually was sold at retail IIRC

EDIT #1: Yup, a quick Google search confirms my memory isn't going bad :p [source]
EDIT #2: Looks like there was also a white Gnex that was available at retail as well. Hmm, maybe this white N4 might be available to buy afterall, if history repeats itself.

pardon my n00bness, but wasn't the white GNex for sale too? There're many for sale (2nd hand) in my country, and it isn't at exorbitant prices either.

Edit: yeah, white GNex was for sale too.. http://www.slashgear.com/samsung-galaxy-nexus-white-official-on-sale-feb-13-06212158/
