Oh, and I know 100% for sure that white iphones were shipped to WA AT&T stores for a release tomorrow.
Looks like stop and go traffic to me.. but yes, don't take pictures and drive! ha
hey Buddy.. it looks like his speedometer doesn't say 0..... so maybe it's not a parking lot. And from the position of the car to the left.. it's not a parking lot.
Three things:
Car Photo: Put this argument to bed for good, check his SPYphone log file, and see where he was at that point in time.
But I'm in the parking lot camp until that info is shared.
LCD: What a terrible looking display - back light bleeding not so much as terrible diffusion / light scatter - you can clearly see the LEDs themselves - bleeding I usually associate with a spot or two from poor extinction ratios - but that thing is... ack. As for the white balance bit with a white surround, I've yet to notice this effect while using any of my white iMacs, and have not seen it on the white Macbooks...
Lozenge Shaped Sensor: Huh? It looks no different from the sensor in my black iPhone. Hold a flashlight up to the front - it's in the same shape, and location, as this white iPhone... Only difference being, it's a lot easier to spot on the white one.

Yes, intended to be a joke. But, obviously a bad one since I needed to identify it as a joke. Oh well. As wise man say, there's a fine line between clever and stupid.
So, you're comparing a screen [white iPhone 4] that you've never seen before compared to various Mac computers that you own? Bad comparison if you ask me. Wait until you've gotten your hands on it for a while before giving your verdict.
LOL. I had to look at the pictures again....and that made me laugh so hard for a minute!
Why is everyone so surprised about seeing a Corvette in Belgium? My dad's cousin back in freaking Lebanon used to say his first car will be a Corvette. That way back when too. Stop being so surprised you tools.
If anybody wants to see what a white iphone 4 looks like near a white iPad 2, then here you go:

It's not the real white i phone. You can tell straight away.
Lol @ the car thing.
It's not in a parking lot. There are no parking lots where cars park like that, how the hell could you get away ? Open air parking lots are also pretty rare here... Especially in the city.
Second thing: he's idleing. Third, it's just a friggin traffic jam. Most people here drive manual cars so we're not on our brakes the whole time. We just flip it in neutral.
I'd bet a 1000 euros that he's on the R1 (ring around Antwerp) or maybe the Singel (inner ring) just standing still in traffic.
What's the big deal with taking a quick picture while doing 0km/h in a traffic jam??
Oh and I can't say that I like the white version, but it'll sell by the boatload.

My iPhone 4, converted to white ( http://twitter.com/#!/JasperJanssen/status/54944265821880320 ) had exactly one issue after the conversion -- continuous false positives on the proximity sensor. I resorted eventually to scraping the paint away over it, but I still need to get a neat finish on there.
I wonder if the problem with the paint wasn't that it was more reflective to IR than it should be, rather than other reflectivity issues. I could see proximity sensor lighting issues being garbled into camera flash lighting issues and thickness of paint issues fairly easily.

To all the white iPhone4 users, lol. Thank you for that moment.
I rather not get the white one, and wait a few months for iPhone5, .. and get that one in white. Though I would go for black.
The white iPhone4 looks ugly, it's like an Android phone with iOS on it. Sorry!
What a difference for me the white ipad2 and white iphone4 makes ..

I've seen iPhone 4 white dock and headphone flexes for sale on the parts sites, so almost certainly, yeah.
Yep it does look like the R1,also the car is obviously idling,thats a rev counter,diesel to lol,and no brake lights as he's in neutral,as previous poster said 99.9% of cars in europe are manual....
On my white conversion, the proximity sensor would start giving proximity alerts at a rate of several per second. Did you try something like Proximity Counter app on your conversions? Or attempt calling a computer that expects number responses (that's where it was extremely noticeable for me, the screen flickering on and off continuously while I was trying to input numbers, argh)?
The LCD and backlight are *highly* unlikely to be even remotely different from the black iPhone 4. The only difference is a different colour of paint on the underside of the front glass layer that's bonded in the backlight/lcd/touch/glass sandwich (well, and a white plastic surround instead of black)
Yup, that's exactly the point. On the earlier white iPhones and publicity shots, the sensor area *wasn't* the same as on the black one. Check it:

Okay, as for the sensor - I thought the article was contrasting this iPhone 4 to current production units. Upon reading it again, I see it's contrasting against earlier white designs.
As for the terrible lighting - this I stand by - if I hold my iPhone at this same angle, and even in photos - I do not see the same effect as I do on this unit. Perhaps this is a bad unit - but the last time I saw this poor backlight diffusion was on a cheap third-party replacement screen.
Edit: May that only happens when you photograph an iPhone 4 with a black (and jealous) iPhone 4...

meh. Not for me.
Can't imagine anyone not putting some form of protection (case) over it anyway. Plenty of white cases already on the market = white iPhone.
