i receive the white version of the phone, i'm annoyed of this black borders around the screen. I feel cheated by LG since they promoted the screen without this black borders.
I agree it was unexpected but I definitely don't feel cheated. Surprised no-one has mentioned it

cheated because the phone was promoted without it. false advertisement.
I hope we never have true edge to edge as I would be worried I would catch something just by holding the fone lol. There comes a point where looks/design can get in the way of practicality.
IMHO I think LG have got it spot

I agree. If these bezels were any smaller then you would be making all kinds of screen touches that you didn't mean to and it would be super cumbersome to handle.
And if the on screen buttons are your concern about eating up screen real estate, just root and use that app that hides them (directed towards the OP).

Op have you measured the usable area? Does it indeed not measure 5.2"? If you haven't please don't post like you have.

I see what the OP is saying. The marketing photo doesn't have the black edge. If I liked the white phone, I would probably be initially annoyed too. You could switch to a solid black background and then you wouldn't notice it at all!
I wanted the white one and now happy I have black....lol. White looks good though.
What carrier is that phone?
That's pretty funny. I wanted a white one, now i'm glad I had to get the black one because of Verizon.

I just did it today, May 13th. I didnt have to take a picture or anything, he just asked what was wrong and what color phone i had and i said white and he got my information and it should be here by the end of the week. BTW my phones battery cover really is messed up so thanks for the post informing me of this, because i was about to buy one on ebay for $20-$30.
are white ones sold in germany at all?
guess it wouldn't work then.
will see if I can find out. I really like this white cover.
Btw the white one looks AMAZING on the phone. The phone looks so much better w/ the white cover haha its like having a whole new phone again. Makes me contemplate actually buying the Evo LTE b/c I actually like the look of the EVO 3d w/ the white a lot better
How does it look with the rest of the black housing? Pics on the phone?
you guys are lame. I LEGALLY got mine white when I bought it from radio shack.

Wow so my brother got the White Note 2 yesterday at the local VZW store, and I must say the Titanium Gray S-Pen looks 100% more sexy than the white.
Hows it feel to you guys? Personally, I felt like I was bending it just by holding it in a grip that allowed me to squeeze the button...
What does that button do anyway? It does not appear to act like a mouse button.
The button adds like a right click functionality if you would imagine.
It allows you to perform gestures to do other actions like if you hold the button down and drawn an arrow pointing left like this: < it acts as if you pressed the back button.
There are other things you can do with the button like draw a circle around a part of the screen to screenshot just that part, but yeah look into it the button is great.
Hmm maybe this is what led to that s-pen being in your pants

I think this has to be the best display I have seen on a phone. My One X is a beautiful display but it is too saturated especially in the reds. It makes peoples faces appear way too rosy. I am surprised by how tinted the Nexus screen is though. That is WAAAY to warm! What's really crazy is how much a difference in visible screen is present with the lack of on screen buttons. It's even more sad is that the phones are basically the same size so there is no rhyme or reason to use on screen buttons especially with how our capacitive buttons completely blend in.
Wow I know I shouldn't be bumping old threads, but this really puts the whole NAVBAR debate down the drain for me. I like having the option of having the on-screen keys, but looking at a phone the same screen size and seeing how much is actually cut off with on-screen buttons just seals the deal for me. Long live the OG!
Yeah, I was using the nav bar on my OG for a while, but missed that extra bit of screen area, so I switched back. Not a big fan of the placement of the two outside capacitive buttons on the OG either though. The LMT Launcher app is a godsend.
Wow. There is definitely a major difference there. LMT launcher makes it all the more tempting to do the N4 conversion, though. Basically makes the OG a BETTER N4. LOL

if you wear either of the following, pick white.

if not, black
The way I look at it, black is a bit more utilitarian because it blends in better when watching a movie, etc. but white looks better aesthetically (in my opinion).
Black is where its at!
