yeah they got lazy, happended with atleast the note 2 and i believe the gs3 as well,
Honestly I hate it. It's like I bought a damn iphone uggh
Yep I don't like the accessories being white either. Not sure why they did that.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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
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

Some other guy in a thread had a fake gs5 and CPU-Z said it had a Snapdragon 801.
Download an app called "Phone info", it can detect if the device is actually fake or not.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vndnguyen.phoneinfo&hl=en
The other guy downloaded it and Phone Info showed that the device was running on a Mediatek chipset.
EDIT: Oh you haven't gotten it, good. because judging from the inclusion of sd cards and silver speaker grill, the device is a fake.

Ask for a picture of the back of the box. Most of the fake S5's I've seen say SM-G900 for the model number while real ones actually indicate what region it's from (i.e. SM-G900W8)
