Uh...

I am off all week for holidays, and dropped my iPhone in the bath about an hour ago. Natwest have agreed to replace it under the terms of my insurance. However they had no black in stock, so said I could have the white instead.

I am not sure if it is a little bit girly or not lol? I am a 36 year old man, you reckon I can carry it off haha!? On a more serious note, I read that these do not scratch as easily and stand the test of time better?

Oh and hats off to Natwest mobile phone insurance, on the phone 20 mins and new phone being shipped tmoz!

...why were you using a $600 handheld super computer in your bathtub?

Not as common as the toilet incidents but not unheard of either. I also use my phone in the bath.

And that's covered by insurance? Seems more user error than "accident".

Depends on his insurance. Some companies cover theft, loss, accidental and water damage.

I was running the bath, not in it....I went to adjust the cold / hot and dropped it.

I think the white iphone 5 looks much more upscale and appealing to the eye.
Unlike the black device that looks just lacking all uniqueness.
Today I placed the devices next to each other - the black looks pale near the White.


By the way, what's sold more black or white iphone 5?

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.

67 yrs old male, and I like the White one as well. We like what we like, and gender has nothing to do with it folks....

The bigger question you should be asking yourself is why you are coming to a forum full of strangers, jerks, newbs and the such for advice on the color of a phone. Does it matter? No.

"Ditto"

What does color matter? Are you getting the white iphone so the next time you drop it in the bath it blends in perfectly with the bathtub?

Personally as a guy, I love both colors, and I wish I could swap out everyday, but the White is more eye catching, especially in the sunlight. That said, I can see why people would think the White iPhone is more feminine. It has more feminine cues than the Black iPhone 5.

LOL why would you use your phone while showering/bathing? And my dad is older, almost 50, and he uses a white one.

Today is a good day for decision making!

You made a choice to get white. Stick with it. Who the **** cares if white is for girls. Those people are pathetic fools who put too much weight on the color of a device.

Well i mean most men dont have a lot going for them so yeah judging by how "Manly" you are based in the colour of a phone .. Yikes! Id hate to be on the sinking boat.
