To those lucky enough to get their i4s two days early (I am SO jealous!!), do fingerprints show up less often, more often, or about the same as previous models?
 
I noticed when watching a unboxing video of the ip4 that just by picking the phone up, there were fingerprints on the sides where he touched it. But, maybe it was just a glare. You'll find out tomorow if the iphone forum page is bloated with "arghh! this thing is a fingerprint magnet!"

I am just fine waiting for my white ip4 ;)
 
With the new Retina Display, the fingerprints are incredibly detailed - I can't believe the difference over my 3GS - you can see every loop, whorl and arch!

:)
 
Any product manufactures make with a glossy black finish will show fingerprints, no matter what kind of coating they have on it. I hate glossy black and wish this trend would stop. I prefer more of a flat black or satin black finish, some call it a Bat mobile/stealth finish.
 
People who have no order in their lives have a need to have at least one control in their lives. In this case, a fingerprintless iPhone screen.
