Overall, if you're a girl i'd get white. If you're a guy, i'd get black.

IDK Nick, I'm a girl but the white is even too girly for me? I sort of wear black and like to go to clubs/concerts and such. White would stick out like crazy but my old Incase rubber black fits it pristinely so I could go both ways. GAH

Spin - I bet of you could you pleaseeee post picks of the IS on your phone maybe on the IS thread? People are dieing to see some pics of it installed.

She's a girl... she said she could go "both ways"... :p Just kidding.

I got the black one.. I love it. Either color you'll throw a case on it... the case is the color to worry about. They have pink...blue.green... :)
 
The problem with the many arguments that the white matches their Apple products is that - Apple doesn't make white computers anymore. OK the White Macbook but it looks like that'll be changing?
 
I got the white but I think the black looks better overall with the chrome bits. So, I sort of wish I had gotten the black... The white back on its own looks great but I don't think it works with the black front and the chrome frame. Maybe if it was just white and black, without the chrome, it would look better? As it is, the white back alone doesn't flow visually well over the entire phone... Am I crazy for thinking this? :)
 
no more white macbook? where did you hear that? i saw the pic for the new pro but have heard nothing about the macbook. plus i am in Japan for 2 1/2 more years and i just bought a new macbook like 4 months ago so i think that i will have my mighty mouse, macbook, and iphone untill at least i get back to the states, then i can buy all new toys and upgrade.

really i think it comes down to what they have in stock, when they finally have a stock.
 
White

My and my wife had decided (prior to launch day), that she would get white and I would get black. When we got there, the white was STUNNING!, I really regretted making that deal, but we did want to get 2 different colors, since we charge our phones right next to eachother and I dont think I could handle going to the gym and finding out I have her showtunes instead of my music :)
 
i wanted black from the start...then about a week from launch i entertained the idea of white..until i saw someone walk out the store talking on it...the gizmodo ppl were right..it looks very feminine.

just my 2 pennies.

dont regret one bit..
once you go black..you dont go back :D
 
Yeah white and chrome do not really go together...but either phone is good.
I am going black 16 gb iphone 3g.

If only they mad a gunmetal grey!!!
 
Got the white and boy am I glad I did. It is very sleek and it does not get fingerprints all over it which is a big plus.
 
I think a big part of the problem is the blacks are all crapped up in the stores and throwing people off.
 
I decided to go with the black as it annoys me that only the back is white. It doesn't look nice at all. Like somebody replaced a broken case with a different color one.

Black FTW! :D

All white would be a different story tho :)
 
The Old one is the best

even though you could really get it hurt and dinged, i think the old metal casing is the most elegant and attractive one. the new ones are more prompt to be scratched and with time i think black or white, they will look awful. that is what apple wants you to do. change your phone every 2 years. it is convenient, no?

Well my first gen looked like crap as scratches on the aluminum case look awful. I think plastic one will look better in the end but we'll see.

As for everybody buying every new gen... well I guess it already happened :)
 
I got white

Because I thought of a car. A white car appears cleaner for longer, and doesnt show fines scratches as easily as a dark color car. Plus, if i dont want to look like Paris Hilton, I can use a case, which will be the "case" anyway. har har

I had the 1st gen, and liked it, but the plastic back is not cheap at all, shaped better for the hand and doesn't feel as slick like you are going to drop it. I like the new version much better.
 
I can't decide between the black and the white, The black would match all of my gizmos and what not, but the white is so much more stunning.

My Verizon contract expires next month and I'm hoping they come out with a grey iPhone as I can't decide between the two current colors.
 
I wanted the white from the start and I am still in awe..it's so nice and sleek to look at. love the box too. plus, after seeing the crazy finger prints that are impossible to keep up with without spending more time wiping them off as opposed to actually playing with the iphone, I made the perfect choice.
