Do you regret getting a White N5?

[mrsmumbles]

I think the white ear piece/speaker only looks strange because compared to the white icons just below it on the screen it is not as bright white. If it were it would look a lot better. As it is I don't notice it that much.

I haven't used a white, so I literally have no value in what I'm saying (lol), but I was immediately turned off on the white as soon as they announced it was "hardcore", glossy plastic on the sides. The black just feels so nice with the soft-touch wrapping around the sides. But a N5 is a N5 at the end of the day...

i got my white 32g nexus 5 last wednesday. when i took it out of the box i knew immediately i wished i had got the black version. especially after reading reports that the two phones were made of different materials. i was pretty disappointed that the white wasn't a matte finish. but, no worries, by thursday i had my white nexus 5 on craiglist to trade for a black nexus 5 and by thursday evening the trade was completed. that day and a half i was having regret. it's amazing what a black matte finish will do to your mood.

I haven't had the black to compare but I love the white. The front looks the same barring the ear piece and the back looks crisp and clean, loving the feel of it too and will be upset when the case arrives!

Couldn't you just have sent it back to Google for a refund? Where I live, I believe this is possible and I'm thinking about doing just that and getting a black one instead

I dunno I ordered a white 16GB one last Monday I'm still waiting. Once I get it I'll have a better opinion.

However I have seen the two side by side close up and like the white better.

I have not regrets at all. The white looks beautiful. I 'm not a fan of the the glossy side trim, but the white cleans easy.

Love the White. I also really like the speaker in white give it like a glow.

i didn't want a refund. i just wanted a black one.

Nope. Not one regret. I love the white and the white ear hole too! I am one of the few that actually like the glossy sides I guess.

I got the black and like it. Its got cruzerlite smoke case on it. But I did like the feel of it.

I was going to get my wife a white one for Xmas...I guess I still will but it will have her usual slim purple case on it...Without different color cases she end's up grabbing the wrong phone occasionally.

Nexus 4 now looks outdated.. this Galaxy Nexus/4 roundness got old!

I have both. Like the black one better because it has more grip. But does not matter since I will put an bumper case on it anyway.

Definitely happy with the white model. I was considering the black one, but the white just looks so much better.

Not just one white one, but two white ones live in my house. Wife's has Slim Armor white case and mine has an Spigen Ultra Slim black case on it. No problems holding on to them with Spigens. I wear my phone on a belt case and I couldn't use the Slim Armor. It fit but too often the power button was being pressed by the case when I was sitting. I had the same problem with the Rinke Fusion though on my Nexus 4.Doesn't happen with slim cases on either.

I can tell you the black is just as bad, if not worse, when it comes to fingerprints. It's all a matter if personal preference.

I have uses both side By side. The side wrapping on the white one is more glossy and picks up fingerprints easy. Go watch mkbhds video on white vs black nexus 5

There is no white Nexus 5. There's only a black Nexus 5 with a white back cover.

I wish there was a white Nexus 5.

I have both...selling the black. White looks gorgeous...put her in a spigen hybrid case with a clear back to show her off. Looks great and have already gotten a lot of compliments (usually after using gWallet lol).

 

[zkSharks]

Absolutely no regrets. I like the look of it and haven't had a single problem with keeping it clean. No case or protector.
