Went from a 2nd gen iPhone to the 3GS. Now I find myself trying to keep both sides clean! Probably should look into a case but I love how the phone looks. 
Got a tip for us?

You'll stop in a week or so. Actually, it took me longer than that, but I haven't really cared about fingerprints and smudges for a very long time.

I think I gave my 3GS a quality wipe down once the entire time I owned it. It looked brand new after though. iPhones clean up nicely!

The white one doesn't show smudges at all.

Incipio Feather for the back... all set! Matte black, smudgeless, and remarkably scuff proof. Then you'll just be back to obsessing about screen cleanliness

It's too bad the black looks better!

i did that when i had my black 3g, .... i looked like a dummy always wiping my phone.....this time i went with the white. Now i just look like a dummy who doesnt constantly wipe his phone
I have a matte case on my phone. I keep a microfiber wipe in my car so I can give it a wipe before and after I go out and be social. So many people want to play with the new iphone it accumulates a lot of grease and finger prints at the end of the night. I'm not obsessive though.
i'm probably one of the most OCD when it comes to fingerprints on my 3G. I used to have a black matte incase slider that hid all fingerprints and it was swell until I decided I wanted to get rid of bulky cases and try invisible shields. The IS back shows a lot of fingerprints and dust attraction which I'm finding myself wiping off at least a couple times a day. The front, I ended up installing the Power support AG shield, and for fingerprint phobia fanatics like me, it's a god-send.

Well, until it's actually handled, anyway
But I agree - I definitely prefer the look of the black one.

<<-- Me reading this post.I put the ifrogz case from the AT&T store (matte orange) on my 3G S today. I actually took my BSE shield off to make it fit and because there was a fairly large air bubble that wasn't going away.
The case looks awesome. I never used a case on my original or my 3G but I love this one.
See it here.
Thats why i picked up the Air Jacket and Power Support Anti-Glare Crystal Film set. I was becoming too anal/tired of keeping my previous 3G clean and even sometimes inadvertently scratched the bezel from all the quick wipes
With the Jacket/Protector i can go weeks without any cleaning. Matte finish on both back & front ftw.
