The will charge you a restocking fee. $36 maybe? I forget the amount.
You can probably find someone to trade you.

I've seen threads where people said they exchanged for white. Won't hurt to try.

They didn't charge me. I got rid of the white because of the soft key light bleeding.
I love the ceramic white. I chose it because most phones are black and this isn't like most phones ;-)

You should have just turned them off in the settings. It's easy enough to memorize the pattern/location of the capacitive buttons. I was so glad to see it implemented on the Note because since my Captivate I've wanted to turn them off.
Hell, I wish I could remove the symbols and just have a blank white Bezel that looks super clean. I know where the buttons are, why the need to see them? Haha.

Does anyone else have this issue? The middle clip on the power side wont clip down properly. I had to trim a tiny bit off the clip hole in the phone to get it to stay down. Even then its still bulges a bit.

Mine does it too, and Samsung will not replace it under warranty for whatever reason. They want me to pay to replace it, but don't know if the replacement part has the nfc. AT&T offered to replace the phone under warranty as I am well past my 30 days. It just pops off on its own, real annoying.

Mine is OK. But I went out and bought the black hard cover. It looks cool and protects the screen while in transit.

The reason it happens is because you've broken either one or several of the clips on the cover itself. Happens on mine too.

I noticed that the replacement part to fix the LCD/screen issue if anyone has one (cracked screen like mine). I noticed they sell the entire unit with the front white housing. It seems possible to buy the white replacement and install in the black galaxy note if not mistaken. Trying to shed some light for anyone who has a black galaxy note and is in the same situation as me.

nah, you can make your black note white without issue.

seen it done for i717 and n7000 without flaws.

I really want to exchange this phone for a white one when they are available - I paid almost $700 and do not want to pay the $75 restocking fee to exchange it. I ran Dead Pixel Tester and found 2 dead or stuck pixels. Will they let me exchange it for a NEW white phone if I complain to retention? Any ideas?
Damn that sucks.

They should. It's a manufacturing defect.

I was mad when I found out the white s3 wouldn't ship till later. I bit the bullet and bought the blue one and I was surprised because the blue ain't bad at all, I actually like it and it looks like the whole phone is brushed metal.

I actually like the blue...it's much better looking in real life than the pictures made out to look...its kinda got a gunmetal look to it that I am digging...but definitely a finger print magnet for the back cover though.

That's exactly what I thought. I went into the store telling myself I wouldn't buy it if they didn't have the white one because I'd seen the promo pictures and didn't like it as much. Then I saw a guy with a blue one outside the store and it totally changed my mind. It's much more reserved than what I expect the white one to look like. The blue isn't overwhelming and blends nicely with the lighter blue on the edges.

Cause you could be mistaken for this with a white one
The white on plastic phones has a tendency to turn blue if you wear jeans. Just a warning.
Also, my Blue one looks AMAZING! It isn't near as blue as pictures make it look, more of a titanium.
Yeah I didn't like the blue at first, but now that I have it, it's beautiful.

Titanium Grey, as it's the closest to black that I can get. I like dark colors. I'll probably get a Ballistic case in black and white to go over it, though.
Going with the marble white this time around. All of my previous phones have been black or gray, figure I'd mix it up this time.
I had a marble white s3 and it felt kind of cheap so this time around im going with the grey. Also running AOSP roms on the white s3 looked out of place with the dark theme of AOSP.
Grey... Prefer dark also. More "discreet" LOL like the note 2 could possibly be discreet.

Titanium Grey all the way. I'm not a fan of white phones.
White. Pretty much all of my portable electronics are black, so I thought it'd be nice to go with a lighter color this time around.
Has white become the "norm" because I want my device to be different. I travel A LOT and when with my S3, I used Google wallet. I had a IPhone Guy behind order his food and asked me " What is that? So cool." I said Google Wallet with NFC. He said "man, I want that phone now, let's trade" *we lol* And I also don't want my Note 2 to look Like someone else's note 2 with it being white..... or titanium grey

I just came from Best Buy and wanted to pre order the Titanium, but I could only order white through BB. They told me they may not get Titanium but Idk. After thinking about it on the way home I already have the ringke slim black case and think it may look good with white. Thoughts? Btw they said 11/27 is the expected date for pre order pick up.

Titanium Grey hides the wear and tear better that white. So Titanium Grey is for me. But both colors look very classy.
Titanium Grey for me. I like the White, but am worried about more visible wear and tear as the post above mentioned. My daughter got a washable marker on my white iPad, and while most of the mark came off, There is still a small smudge that drives me nuts.

You can easily buy a new home button. It really isn't that ugly.
Titanium grey all the way. White just isn't as sharp looking imo.
I pre-ordered grey, but I'll probably end up doing something custom to the back.
I've read alcohol wipes, penny with tape on it and a sugar cube could work. Any more thoughts? It NEEDS go ASAP. That's the first thing I noticed in the VZW looking at the display.
Acetylene torch should do it
realize that this would take the finish and shine off of it though

Hydrchloic acid should do the trick.... I recommend at least 8 oz and let it sit over night night

Lol this is getting out of hand. I predict a locked thread
I'm going to wait until a video tutorial pops up, where I can watch someone perform the action to their device, before I try it on mine. I hate the VZW logo on the button as much as the next person, but I'm not going to risk having a screwed up button over removing the logo.
I don't mind the logo... not really that big of a deal but I seen someone used water mixed with sugar on a rag and wipped it off.

Actually, this is the method I have been hearing for a month. You are supposed to tape around the logo and then mix water and sugar until it is pasty. Then you rub the logo off. The sugar acts as sand paper and grinds the logo off.
Now, my experience with hydrochloric acid definitely says for you to not use 8 oz overnight...

Yeah I'm wonder about this too. Trying to decide between the DNA and this, and that logo is killing me. I haven't played with either phone yet, but from all the videos/pictures I've seen, the logo is pretty stand out-ish. Yeah the DNA is pretty much Verizon color schemed, but in all honesty, flat black and red looks amazing.
Verizon seriously has some idiots working for them. Whoever thought it was a good idea needs a swift kick in the ass.
