Maybe the black one needs a deeper type of gold like rose or something. The current one looks good because the gold is very pale.
 
I wanted this combination, I would have bought it over space grey if it existed. I was very disappointed in the gold/white combination. Space grey is great though.
 
had they released a black gold i would have given up my 5 and spent $650 to get one.

kinda glad they didnt, money saved
 
It would look a lot better than gold and white. I would definitely be interested. I'm from Louisiana, it would be like a New Orleans Saints phone. lol
 
Unfortunately the gold in the picture above is not the color of the iphone . Still Black would look good
 
Not me, I'm upgrading from my black iPhone 4 and specifically want a white front this time around (white wasn't released when I got my 4.)
 
I just bought both! Easy enough! Best buy had a gold in stock and compliments my space grey nicely! One will be a daily driver and the other for work. Best of both worlds!
 
Had a black iPhone 4s and wanted to try something new with the gold. Just got the gold iPhone yesterday, but didn't like the white front, so I combined a black face plate with a black/clear bumper that would still show the gold. I think it looks ok for now, but if it doesn't grow on me, I may trade in the gold for space gray:

That looks really good! I would definitely get that if it was available.
 
I wouldn't get black and gold or white and gold, but white/gold looks less cheesy.

I want to see black/silver. Best of both worlds. Chamfer edges won't scratch as bad and it has a black body.

Edit: added picture of what I could find. Kind of a bad pic, but gives you an idea. THAT'S the 5S I would want.
