Every time this comes up I just shake my head and wonder why men are so weird. 
The white iPhone is gorgeous.

I got an email about upgrading my NatWest account with included insurance. You have the Select Platinum account? Might upgrade with this sort of service!

I have a Gold account which they no longer offer. The insurance is the same I believe, my excess was only £50! I now have an extra charger and lightning cable plus spare earphones and sim ejector as well!
Nice one! I read the small print and the excess is £50 on the Select Platinum, so must be the same sort of thing. At least if you claim with NatWest they wont increase your premium next year, unlike the house insurance.
NY88, you don't say of you are male or female - I guess from your preference for the white iPhone you must be the latter
Hey !
I think its a good choice but its a subjective choice because everybody's preferences are different. I'm a 30 year old man and preferred the white version to the black. I don't understand why some think the white is more feminine because its simply not. You can't get much more neutral than black or white so I think that puts it into perspective.

Pink? That's sexist.
exactly.
i don't see how colours should be associated to certain genders.
its just a preference after all
The black one is more cool, white one become very very dirty after finger touching for a while (like playing fruit Ninja). When they become old, the black one is more more good-looking as white one.
I like the white and I'm a guy. The contrast with the white/silver is sharp. But then again, I own a 16GB black iPhone 5 myself.

That ain't saying much in terms of trying to make the white appear just as manly as the black.

But you have the only one
If I remember my Austin Powers correctly, Your phone should be the same color as your tackleThe white one is a nice choice, if I hadn't bought the black one I would've gone with white.
I've been around for 72 years. In that time I had a 17 year marriage to a woman. I bought a white phone. Who knew I was a girl all that time.
Really I bought the white iPhone because I knew the black phone would show wear by a great extent more than the white because the natural color of aluminum is silver that is very close to white. Besides it looks great.

Very happy with my choice, got a screen protector on it this time. Not sure about a case, any suggestions?
