Why did you pick Black or White for iPhone 5?

I had a black 3GS, black One X then picked up a bargain white MacBook and the week later a while iPod HiFi, went to the store and got a white iPhone so it all matches my gear and the cables. Plus I heard the black scratches much easier.
I ended up with both colors: bought a white one in December, then my job gave me a black one last month. Very grateful I have two separate lines.
No such thing as black skin… unless you're a black panther or a cat with black fur
i will choose the white iPhone 5. the reasons are below:
1. White is more nice than the black.
2. white looks thinner
3. Black seems quite boring and stiff.
The black actually looks nice.
I chose the black one because it looks sexy. I'm an aerospace engineer and the design and color appealed to me.
I was torn between the two....first got a black then gave it to a friend when they decided to upgrade to the 5 as Best Buy only had white iP5s at the time. Told him I was okay switching over to white.
Now after having both I prefer the white. I ended up getting a black/slate iPad Mini and still think I prefer white.

Again what black or white have to do with gender? We are not talking pink here. Also what do you do with the included white earphones and charger? Guess you never had one of the early iPods or Macbooks, they where only available in white.
had black, lost it, got white because it was the cheapest replacement option from gazelle.
i like the white better. at first the black was great for apps that hadnt adapted their size from the 4 but now thats rare. the white does look... cleaner and nicer. i shoot a lot of video though and the black was great for keeping a low profile

I have had both. Once I got the black, I knew that I had made a mistake. I swapped for a white and am extremely happy.
Way to make yourself look like a dummy... Know lot of straight guys with white iPhones.
Lets see: the black scuffs easily and is a fingerprint magnet. The white looks sexy as all hell, doesn't show fingerprints and doesn't scuff as easily.
Choice was pretty simple to me.

Maybe lack of choices? It's all Black and White to me...
I have a Black 16GB IP5 for personal in a Life Proof case, so you do not see it anyway.
I had my company give me a white IP5 16GB for work just so I had the best of both worlds, but moving forward I do hope they offer some different colors, but I think that will be reserved for the cheap iPhone.
Remember all the trouble they had producing white ones, I think color ones with Glass will be a a challenge
