Looks nice. It would look dead sexy sitting next to a white Macbook or an older white iMac.

However, I don't think it is cool enough to try to replace my two month old (black) ViPhone 4.

I might still buy a white iPad, but my phone has a two-tone blue Incipio "sil" cover on it. In other words, you wouldn't really be able to tell if it was white very easily anyway.
 
Beautiful.

There's a reason why I didn't buy the hideous black one. This is the reason. Sheer elegance.​
 
Works both ways though, black on the display of the 'old' iPhone 4 never looks quite black with the black face of the phone.

Certainly - it's probably a preference, or some people just aren't as picky. For me, I am extremely picky about the whites not matching but I'm not very offended by the black level

The bezel is only as white as the light hitting it, and how often do you sit in pure white light? If you sit in an area awash with blue light (eg in shade on a sunny day) your bezel will look blue, while your screen remains white. A camera with AWB will compensate by adding a bit of yellow making the bezel whiter and the screen yellower. If you're indoors at night the reverse will happen, making your screen look blue.

Edit: By the way your eyes are very good at compensating for the ambient light colour and similar effects. This is why it can be so hard to take a photo that looks as good as the real thing, and possibly why posters are claiming the white iPhone looks much better IRL.

Their going to refresh soon, who would lock into a new contract so close to the new one comming out? It looks nice but not nice enough to pass up the iPhone5
 
Christ!
Anyone would think a white iPhone was a cure for cancer !!

Why? Because most people won't be all that interested in the cure for cancer? Or because the cure will arrive with mismatched whites?
 
saw it at my local t-mobile store today, thing is SO ugly. glad i went for the black one last june. but i guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder after all
 
Either that - or they are really good at driving to be so close without hitting the brakes (ie no brake lights are on in the photo) :rolleyes:

You'd be amazed at how quickly you can slow down without touching the brakes with manual transmissions (which is what most european cars are equipped with). I almost never touch the brakes when stuck in traffic in my car
 
I don't understand the big deal, it's the same iPhone 4.. but in white.
In fact i think the white iPad 2 and the white iPhone 4 start looking more yellow and tacky as Apple products.
The product is nearing it's flagship life, the iPhone 5 will be coming out in a few months.
