[Nioxic]

I'm hoping that the back of the black is darker than in the photos that we're seeing. I feel it loses the sexy tone to it with that lighter color. And white is looking better than some of the earlier pictures that we have seen. I'm stuck on the fence once again.

"Ditching the glass back and reducing the thickness of the glass panel on the front has affected the design of the metal band around the edge of the iPhone. It is now chamfered and while that looks pretty, we've already noticed that on the black model the edge has started to wear, revealing the shiny silver aluminium metal underneath the "slate" coloured coating and, indeed, we've witnessed it on two separate models, ruling out a fluke manufacturing error.

These small scuffs will catch the light and make the phone look visibly worn. We suspect that it won't be as noticeable on the white model because the metal edging is silver, so that's worth bearing in mind when you come to order your colour choice."

This is what I'm worried about. I really like the black one, because I like the seamless black when the screen is off and also the fact you don't see the black border around the LCD and all the sensors near the earpiece. However, if the black shows scuffs that easily, it may be a dealbreaker. Also some photos make the black aluminum seem too light which clashes against the black antennas.

Black it is!

I had a white iPhone until now but now I'm choosing the dark side!

We're kinda the same there. Black car, black leather interior, black matte rims, black pants, black shoes, but for some reason I just find the white iPhones to be so classy.

Ceramic for its natural color vs painted glass.

that make sense, but i'm still curious if both of them uses the same glass material or not

Had black iPhone 4 and white 4S.
Going back the black now!

I actually considered the white this time, but like others have said, I think the screen looks better on the black, more seamless and more pop. I prefer the look of the metal back on the white though.

Which one looks better is relative. I'm glad I went with black this time around.

It think white model might fit better in woman's purse, although a black one looks more professional and man-ish so no hesitate to go for a black one!

But have to admit both look stunning.

White phone is more balance overall design, why they cant do the same thing for the black phone? Maybe Jony Ive like more white phone

 

[DMHmac]

Definitely glad I went for the black iPhone

That black boarder around the white would annoy me every time I looked at the screen.

I think the white looks more flashy but not in a good way while the black looks more professional and sleek.

I switched to White. Many reviews with pictures convinced me that the white iphone is just plan nice to look at over the black one this time around.

I'm a fan of everything Black also, I feel that cases look much better on the Black iPhone than the white one! However, I wasn't feeling the two-toned this year. I need it to be MURDERED OUT BLACK. Soooo, i'm taking my chances with a NAKED White iphone5!
