Here's what I have discovered so far:

1) apps must be installed as regular apps. If pushed to system/app nothing works and the physical back button won't work.

2) for Google launcher to work, you must have launcher, GSM, velvet and Google voice search all installed.

3) even with all of these installed, Google voice IS working (open apps, search web, talkback, etc...), but always gives the "google voice search has stopped" error. Possibly missing some frameworks or libs?

I have these apps all working so far: Launcher, voice search (except for the error listed above), GSM, velvet (part of the launcher and also wallpapers), Google keyboard, new market and finally new YouTube.

I got a chance today to get hold of both variations. Other than the obvious color on the back, there are several subtle differences:

1. Earpiece color, black vs white

2. Side finish, matte vs glossy

3. Back finish, soft-touch vs regular matte plastic (contrary to what Engadget reported)

I was going to grab the white one for the look, but after getting them in my hands, I changed my mind. That soft touch back on the black one is really comfortable to touch (I don't plan on using a case anyway). Also, I prefer the earpiece to be black.

Also take a look at this post:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=47048121&postcount=123
[Nexus 5 General] crawlgsx:
Weak, I didn't know that (about the finish on the back) or I too would've opted for black.
[Nexus 5 General] taoxhui:
So the conclusion is that white has the better looking and the black is more comfortable for using?
[Nexus 5 General] cyburke:
16gb white was all that was available when i hit the play store yesterday so that's what i ordered. i like the black / white combo on this device and ordered the white spiegen ultra fit case to show it off.

won't really matter how the back compares against the black once the case is on there.

*shrugs.
[Nexus 5 General] timothyung:
Well yes, this is my opinion, although IMO white is just slightly more appealing if it also have a soft touch back.

I guess having soft touch on white is either very difficult, or will make it stain/turn yellow easily:)

I always believed that the white one will not have soft touch, until I read the Engadget report...but it turns out to be false:(
[Nexus 5 General] Tony_YYZ:
I have a white GS3 and love white devices but after never being able to get a case or bumper that can stay clean, I opted for the black Nexus 5.
[Nexus 5 General] Yadao:
Man, if I had known the white wasn't a soft-touch stain magnet, I may have considered it more. That white ear piece grill is ugly, though.
[Nexus 5 General] s33squar3d:
Now that you mention it it makes sense that they wouldnt go soft touch with the white. Makes me long for the black one now. Im not usually one to put my phone is a case, but I think without the softback I might go with a case this time around and see how it works. Regardless, they both look like great pieces of hardware
[Nexus 5 General] crawlgsx:
Whats a case?

/s
[Nexus 5 General] Kenneth131:
Man thats disappointing. I was looking forward to the white. Did the back cover feel like the same type of plastic on the white HTC HERO? I Wish I could get hands on both. I was really up for the white but the ear piece looks silver in pics and I thought it would really detract from the gorgeous screen always catching your eye.

Shame they really should have documented that there was a difference in the two models and how they are finished.

Also how did the glossy sides feel of the white one? Im assuming the white is aimed stereotypically at the female market hence the glossy glossy sides.
[Nexus 5 General] timothyung:
I don't know how it compares to Hero... My first Android device is the GNex. It feels similar to white Note 3's back.

The sides shouldn't make that much difference in feel, I guess (I didn't check that out).
[Nexus 5 General] fatum2002:
Looking at these pictures it seems the black one is fingerprint magnet:

[Nexus 5 General] timothyung:
Not that bad from my limited testing. I tried pressing my finger on it, no obvious print; although there are slight smudges from (presumably) the previous person.
[Nexus 5 General] vido.ardes:
I've got it in hand and it is really good looking, the back is a soft touch plastic but it is different to the black. The black is identical to the 2013 N7, where as the white is smoother and less absorbent, but still very comfortable.

Let's put it this way, in was stood with the black in one hand and the white in the other, could have had either and I walked away with the white :D
[Nexus 5 General] hackdisk:
Aw snap, wasted precious minutes debating on which color to get...

Finally pulled the trigger on white thinking that I could always cover it with the bumper case in case I regret, but I didn't notice the ugly earpiece! :crying:

And I thought they were of the same material..

ALL the phones/tablet he show in the comparison have greasy prints all over :laugh:

Even the two-year old phone I use everyday is much cleaner...
[Nexus 5 General] Kenneth131:
Yeah looking at YouTube vids the white is soft touch. The sides are definitely glossy I actually think it looks more premium than the black.

However the white earpiece cover is freaking unforgivable in my eyes who thought that was a good idea. Its so freaking distracting.

It may be good so you can quickly pick up the phone the right way up but coming from a gnex my eye is drawn to it since its the same size as the notification light on my nexus.

Also watching any video on this and your always going to be drawn to the white dot. If they were willing to do that they may as well have made the whole thing white. The point in the black front is to stop glare or light reflection so as not to distract from the screen. This does the opposite.

It reminds me of a mini galaxy tab when it first came out. I liked that and I like this just not the white earpiece. Silly design feature.
[Nexus 5 General] ryude:
Man I am SO glad I got black :D
[Nexus 5 General] SupaDupaFly24:
Ok reading some of these comments made me feel better again about getting white! lol

Cannot wait until it is delivered!
[Nexus 5 General] timothyung:
I'm not sure if you can fix it with a black marker:confused:

We need more people who actually touched the device to get a conclusion. For me, the white one definitely feels like regular plastic.
[Nexus 5 General] Khaiyan:
Haha, talk about a divergence in views. Black and white is really split down in the middle :p
[Nexus 5 General] itpromike:
The white one is insanely ugly because the front is black but just the back is white... it looks bizarre and almost like a Chinese knock off phone. I'm not sure what they were thinking...
[Nexus 5 General] lukas_s:
I understand why they made the phone the way they did, though. Production costs would have gone up dramatically if they needed two different screens.

While I love the look of the black one, my major motivation for buying the white was...I got some sweaty ass paws. The black phone would look filthy as a result, all the time.
[Nexus 5 General] yahoowizard:
I've ordered one of each, and planning to cancel one of the phones, and I still have no idea which one. And after tons of videos and pictures and pages of this and other threads, I realized that I really don't like both. The white looks so much nicer vs the bland black version, but the white seems plasticky and the black has this more professional look to it. I have till Thursday when the phones arrive and I reject delivery to one phone or another, but for now, I'm still blank until I can touch both in person.
[Nexus 5 General] DowntownJeffBrown:
Haha he does give you a good look but wtf that was the worst unboxing as far as what he said that I've ever seen. He had absolutely no clue what he was talking about.

[Nexus 5 General] abdel12345:
I personally like the contrast in color. At first I thought it was ugly and was going to go with a black one but the more I looked at it the more I liked it and I ended up buying a 16 gig white one. Lol I guess that isn't a legitimate reason but I'm just excited to get it. I can't wait for it to come in:D:D:D:D:D
[Nexus 5 General] Kenneth131:
Although cost probably comes into it the other reason so many stick with a black front is that when watching video or looking at pics especially in bright daylight it was found the general perception from consumers was that the white frame distracted or lowered their satisfaction of the screen and colour reproduction. Basically more light was reflected off the white frame causing your eye to perceive the picture on the screen differently. Something apple seem to completely ignore.

The only reason I know this is I did work for Samsung over three years up until 2012 and this was the findings from work carried out during the time I was involved.
[Nexus 5 General] LNJ:
White frames make the blacks look darker on the screen because of the contrast as opposed to looking dark grey on a black frame.

I liked my ceramic white SGS2 because the whole phone was white!
[Nexus 5 General] :
I ordered the black one for two reasons:

1. I own a nexus 7 2013, and I'm a sucker for matching stuff lolol.

2. The white earpeice bugs the hell out of me. I like the clean front glass look of the usual nexus devices.

Now I MIGHT swap the back out with a white one down the road (or maybe a different color if they can be found on eBay)

Best of both worlds: white back without the white grill lol
[Nexus 5 General] spicydicy:
Very very easy. When you aren't using them just make sure you stick the vinyl back onto it's wax type paper it came stuck to.

I've got 5 skins for my n4 and I switch all the time.

The n5 skins look awesome. They've got a ring for the camera, and the sides of the phone will also be able to be skinned. It might be tough to apply the side stickers, but damn, there will be some great looks with various different skins.
[Nexus 5 General] 1stx2:
This is the way I feel also. Just can't stand that white ear piece. I hope they sell just the backs later on down the road. I read somewhere on here that gloss black sides on the white are a little harder to hold also.
[Nexus 5 General] shamps:
Is the white back prone ti get dirty? Samsung plastic backs have a kind of gkossy finish and they can easily be wiped clean. I hope the white back is jot similar to the htc one x. It absorbed the color of the jeans after sime time. Can some1 with the white color comment on this?

Cheers!!

Black N5 looks plain and boring.

White N5 looks premium.

Easiest choice ever.
[Nexus 5 General] AndroidInsanity:
I was meant to get black one. but only white was in stock. and to be honest I wasn't bothered.

Yeah i felt the black demo unit the back does feel better. But SO WHAT! get a black case if some people are inpatient -_- it's the same phone!

If your going to judge a phone on how it looks you clearly need a iPhone lol.

Personally I think the back looks pretty good :)
[Nexus 5 General] pfmiller:
Right, personally I think anyone who wants the front of their phone to be white is insane. TVs are pretty much all black. Movie theaters are dark except for the screen. Same with regular theaters. It's all for a good reason. You want the focus on what you're watching, everything else should be invisible.

Mine was supposed to ship by November 5 but instead it will be delivered on the 5th.
[Nexus 5 General] nyc0:
Hi,

I have a question that got me many downvotes on reddit, and I apologize in advance if it's been already said, but does the back of the white feel like soft touch at all? I know it's weird but I hate that texture with all my heart, so if the white doesn't have that then I'm sticking with it! (yes, even with that earpiece... that will get some getting used to..)
[Nexus 5 General] hsrn:
They should have made the frame white aswell like they did with the white nexus s.

It just looks nicer having just the screen being black and the rest being consistent white.

Please watch how nice the white nexus 4 looks in this video.

[Nexus 5 General] 1stx2:
That's the nexus s in the video.....
[Nexus 5 General] b1g1an:
Can't disagree more, my favourite thing about the white one is the gloss black frame which makes the glass and frame look like one solid piece and assume this was Google/LG's intention, the frame matching the glass on the white one and matching the back on the black one. Unfortunately it's not as successful on the black as you can see the joins easily so losing the 'solid' look.

It's this that gives the white the premium look whereas the example you linked to looks like a cheap plastic case with a screen set into it.
[Nexus 5 General] Deeco7:
I'm just contemplating whether I should of got the white instead black looks too plain. Will they accept return for opened seal box?

[Nexus 5 General] undercover:
You should OF studied grammar harder.

If you bought via internet then it falls under distance selling act, and you can return within given window even if you used the device. If from store, well, that's down to the store you are returning it to.
[Nexus 5 General] Khaiyan:
Just received the black and I have to say, the back does pick up marks very easily. Unless your hands are completely dry, you will inevitably smudge the back to oblivion. That said, I have no regrets - I don't mind wiping the back clean, and if worst comes to worst, I will replace the back for a white one and keep the black speaker grille (bonus!) :D
[Nexus 5 General] DowntownJeffBrown:
Which is why that white speaker ruins the front. It looks like it always had a notification

[Nexus 5 General] Vertron:
Got the white one, the back looks very nice. The white earpiece doesn't bother me at all either.
[Nexus 5 General] textus:
Everyone has been talking about the back, the sides or the earpiece. But what I am really interested in, and may not have yet been explicitly answered, is the "flushness" of the sides to the front. Not base on how it looks but rather in reality measuring by the millimetres.

So yes, while the glossy black sides of the white does make it look like it flows with the front (does it?), but is that in reality the case? is there no gap between the sides and the front? Or less of a gap in the white than with the black (in real terms!) Other than that, does the sides of the black come slightly higher than the front, like the sides of the grey galaxy nexus?
[Nexus 5 General] Vertron:
The sides of the white version is very slightly higher than the front, but it isn't really noticeable.
[Nexus 5 General] wideasleep1:
I think the main complaint was that stands out when watching movies.
[Nexus 5 General] got_killed:
What do you guys think of putting the dbrand white carbon fiber on the whole phone? The front, black, and possibly frame. Then that ear piece wouldn't look so bad. It's been pretty hard for me to decide if I wanted to contrast the phone with black or make it all white.
[Nexus 5 General] b1g1an:
Mine's totally flush but there is a tiny channel created by the rounded edge of the frame that you can catch with you nail which may give the impression of it standing proud.

You really have to look for the join as everything is such a deep black and a totally different look in natural light than in studio shots, the visible edge of the frame is only a fraction of a millimetre thick and what you usually see is light reflecting off the corner, further enhancing that one piece feel.

After three days of constant mauling, including clammy handed kids, the back still looks like it just came out the box.
[Nexus 5 General] HolyOPO:
I have both the black and white. They both look good but the black is far superior in terms of feel. The grip is better and the sides aren't glossy. Glossy sides don't just show fingerprints, but you feel the oil on the sides after a while and it isn't comfortable, feels cheap too. The white ear piece is super distracting as well, especially in the sun. I get the design they are trying to pull, but honestly the black is more comfortable :rolleyes:.
[Nexus 5 General] undercover:
That's what she said...

In fact, yeah, I agree. Purely from tactile perspective, black is more pleasant. I'm judging by N7. White isn't as nice to touch, but looks better (IMHO). Black looks like N7 bastard child.

Since mine be covered with something anyway (most likely BSE when they pull their finger out) I'm not that bothered about the feel.

After seeing the comparison videos I'm so glad I didn't order the white nexus. I don't really dig the two tone color or the band of the panda phone. I do like the ear piece color but that's about it. All the reviews seem to favor the black more.

a lot of you guys talk about taking a sharpie to the white earpiece. Has anyone done this yet and can post a picture? I'm currently deciding on a color and the earpiece was the other thing bothering me on the white. I plan to use a dbrand white carbon skin, no matter what though. Like mentioned a few posts above, i'm still not sure about the 'contrast' aspect with the 'nexus' logo.

I'm hoping dbrand gets pictures up soon of all the skins in the flesh.

[Nexus 5 General] Lukien:
Same... it's almost fluorescent in sunlight. And unfortunately it seems to be part of the case, so not easy to swap over, or take out to paint properly. I mean what do we do about warranty if we take to the phone with a Sharpie? Surely that'll void it?

i'm not reading all 11 pages but would like to contribute, so sorry if its been posted.

i got a white and black for me and my wife..

the white is 100% lighter, you can feel it in hand.

it also appears to be a hair thinner, now this could just be an illution from the white back, but to me it looks thinner and again 100% lighter.
[Nexus 5 General] Sinergie:
If the white is 100% lighter, I bet you've put both on a scale to backup that statement? :p
