Did B&H represent that this was a new model? Was there any indication that this was a grey market product? I think that if they sell those, they have to disclose that, and that you were aware there is no warranty. Otherwise, I'm pretty sure that any new product sold in the U.S. must have a minimum 1 year mfg. warranty.
Yeah, I'd hold their feet to the fire on this. B&H is (was?) a very reputable company. I'd hope this was a simple error.
This is what I got back from them yesterday.

Thank you for contacting the Customer Service Department at B&H Photo Video and Pro Audio.
Sir, I checked and this phone is actually coming with our own Limited 1-Year B&H Warranty, it's not under LG warranty.
If you have any problems within a year, you can let us know and we'll take care of that.
It's an unlocked phone, brand new, but not under LG U.S. warranty.
Please let us know if you require any further assistance.
Thank you, we appreciate your business.

I'm supposed to get a two year warranty through LG, Their “Second Year Promise” program in the US grants an additional year of warranty if the new phone is registered within 90 days.
From what I've read B&H, Amazon and another company handle LG's unlocked phones. The rest are locket to specific carriers so one would think B&H would handle US phones.
If you buy ANYTHING from B&H call the customer support number and make sure whatever you buy can be registered in the US!
