Aluminum with balck (1st gen) is the only way to go


It matches all of the Mac lineup.


I still dont know how Apple can say we are moving away from plastic but make a plastic phone.
 
3G shape, not sure on whether I like black or white better. Nobody else I know has a 3G iPhone and AT&T didn't have any white display models so I played it safe and got a black one.

So for the sake of this poll I'm going to say black 3G.

as often stated shape of 3G and color of original. but if I had to choose from those three: black 3G
 
color of original, shape of 3G
There it is. And there's no reason they couldn't have done it with the 3G, after all, the original iPhone wasn't metal! Just metal-colored/textured plastic. So none of that nonsense about RF and interference and all that made any difference at all. The iPhone has always had a plastic back, the only difference is that the original iPhone looked MUCH better.
 
nope!

it was metal. I have a few rear cases lying around. they are def metal

i like the look of the black 3G, but i couldnt stand all the visible fingerprints that it would get, so i got the white 3G and love it.

It's metal. Definitely not plastic. Why would they put on the small, black plastic part to lower interference? Just wasting time and money.

It's metal.
