I have two iPhones, a black one and white! I love them both very much but sadly I am going to give one to my mother. The White one is 32GB which I had been using since launch day. The black one is 16GB and I just got it recently. Should I keep the white one or black? Also I have AppleCare on both!
Got a tip for us?

White one, it has more storage. Otherwise give her the white one, sell the black one in a couple weeks, and buy a 5s.
I'd prefer the black one. And there are differences with the viewing when you compare black or white.
I prefer the black but to be honest I'd keep the white as more storage means more to me than the colour.
While we're talking about color, what do people think of the rumored gold color for the new iPhone? I've always liked black, but it looks like an interesting option.Keep the white one, more storage is better than color
You're probably right, although you get a pretty good idea from the pics. Think it's a better color for my wife than me. Anyway, the colors are kind of irrelevant if you use a case b/c you barely see them. There's also a rumor of a graphite color - that may look nice.It's champagne not gold, must see it in person to tell like it or not

Actually, if storage isn't an issue, I'd give your mum the 16 GB one, sell the 32 GB one, then you should have enough cash to buy the entry-level 5S when it comes out.
this won't be helpful but both have awesome aesthetics. Based on the storage alone, do you need the 32GB storage? If not then go with the 16GB black, if you need it then go with the 32GB white.
