Nice. I'm kind of leaning towards the white now (not because of the box lol), I hope there are some left when I get to AT&T! :D

I agree, white is a definite possibility for me. Afraid of the smudge "stains" like the gen 1 iPods.

Is White to feminine...etc etc
I am leaning towards white. I am a male... not worried what anyone else thinks about the color of my iphone...(as they coddle their treos and instincts!)

Now I know that a lot of people love their Apple boxes (heck, I do too, haven't ever thrown one out), but I think that somebody would have to be a little crazy to base their purchase (which one) on the box it would come in. But then again, the white iPhone looks a little bit too feminine for my liking.

no apple is smart i think they would be smart enough to put a plastic cover over it to ensure it doesnt get discolored

I think its Lucite, and painted underneath and emits through the Lucite. Like some supercars are made.

I love the incase slider in white... the new 3G makes me like the white casing even more.

I see nothing wrong with a white iphone, why does that have to be girlish?

Many guys on here are getting it and don't think it's girlish. Get whatever you want, I am also going to get the white one, although I am a girl but I don't think that matters at all.

I remember the white vs black iPod nano and iPod video drama. The black picked up many more scratches and finger prints. From the pictures today on the internet it looks like the black iPhones are having the same issue.

ilounge even posted this a few weeks back and you can see the scratches and scuffs:

As much as I like the look of black, I'm going for the White. I never thought my white iPod nano, or white iPod video looked feminine. If I wanted pink, then that might raise some flags ;) Not that there's anything wrong with that.

It's not the glossy part that's discolored, it's the palm rest. A totally different kind of white... I've never heard of the shell case of a macbook becoming discolored.

The dye off my blue jeans turned the entire bottom of my white Macbook's case blue. :eek: It won't come off! It's not a dark blue, but you can definitely see the light staining.
