Anyone wished they had different iPad 2 colour they brought?

I love my white one, much cleaner and attracts a lot less finger prints than my black iPad 1. Definitely do not regret it!
Nope. I'm happy with my choice of black and my wife us happy with her choice of white. So to each his own. 
I want to swap
Hi Zelnaga. I am the opposite, i got the Black 32Gb Ipad 2 Wifi only but want the white. I am in Sydney area. How about you? Are you still willing to do this?

I have been hovering between colours. At first i thought black was the one. Then I saw white in a store and preferred that. Then I went back to an Apple store and started making a more studied comparison.
As a fashion statement, white looks the coolest. However, on a practical level its no good, black is best. I found the white surround was totally distracting and was always in my peripheral line of sight when looking at the screen. You do not get this with black as the black surround is totally unobtrusive with screen and surround blending as one. A much better viewing experience.
One other potentially worrying point was it looked to me as if the white surround was starting to "yellow" after extensive in store handling.

lol i read that as "bleeding" the first time. I've got an unopened ipad2 sitting in my drawer (waiting for my case to arrive, I'm anal like that) and i'm paranoid about all the stories about light bleed.
Once you go black, you don't go back..... I love the white look (have a white iphone 4) and also white JBL speakers but the black looks sleek, Also the white reminded me of a kindle and felt cheap once I had it in my hands. Apple does a great job of making the white look sexy on their sites and ads.
I'd advise anyone who is stuck on this color thing- play with the different colors before you buy. Spend at least 5 mins looking at sites, watching videos and tilting it for glare. made my decision much easier.

Same here. We both just waited until what we wanted was available (white&black 32 AT&T).
I initially bought a White 32GB before seeing them in the store and on display.
I stood in line at Bestbuys and they did not have any on display at the time.
Went to a local Apple store and played with the white display unit and realized I hated white. Sold mine and ordered a black one.

Love my white. Can't wait for the white iPhone 5, or I could just buy the parts to make mine white. Long live the classic white Apple.
Hell naw. Like seeing your future wife for the first time, as soon as I saw the white iPad in the keynote, I knew instantly, that it was the right colour for me.
I never had to convince myself otherwise.
My advice? If you have doubts about it, then go black, to save any pain down the road.

I'd love to have a metallic lime green iPad I wish there was a company that could do that. (And not the crappy ass Colorware garbage. Sorry but their stuff looks like ass and they have terrible looking colors).
EDIT: Hm...after visiting their site again out of curiosity it seems like they have an improved color selection now (as long as you go with the metallic paint, the regular paint still looks like ass and comes in colors such as brown turd, 1980's computer beige and salmon pink, barf).
I was happy to see a nice lime green metallic background on an iPhone 4.
