I always buy white apple gadgets when I can, but I really think I'm going to have to go for black here. The white just looks dirty this time around
 
Regardless of the design, I'll choose black. I don't like how the display/sensors stand out in the white version.
 
I always had black iPhones up until the 4s and I went with the white just so it would be something different and not look exactly like the 4. That was a big mistake and Ive hated the white one. The edges get dirty if I don't use a case so I have to use at least a bumper. With the black iPhone 4 it looked brand new after 16 months without doing much. I'm going back to black for the new one. It will match my black iPad better too.
 
My Devices:

iPhone 3G: Black
iPhone 4: Black
iPhone 5: Going White

iPad 1: Black
iPad 2: Black
iPad 3: Black
iPad 4: Will be going white
 
Yeah I think im switching.

iPhone 3GS: White
iPhone 4: Black (because white never came out!)
iPhone 4S: White

iPad: Black
iPad 2: White
iPad 3: White

Now I think im going to get the 5 in black because I love the slate color band and back but I'm still struggling with it because if I case it the only part that will be showing is the front and I prefer that in white......errr haha

Yeah! I have the same exact dilemma! I have a white 4S and love it, but the black back on the 5 is really sexy. However, I'll be putting a case on it and I'd much rather have a white front and I'll rarely see the back. I'm actually leaning towards white more since I know I really like the white front.

Every time I see photos of the black again though, I'm back to where I started.
 
Black going white. I would have ordered the white iPhone 4, but it was not available at launch, so I ordered black. I will finally have my white iPhone.
 
Always go with black
And the wife gets the white

Makes life easier, but the white is getting me tempted to switch things up this year. I have 1 day before preorders start to make up my mind.

Im still struggling but the look of these on the black iPhone 5 is really pushing me over the edge to just get black....but I know once mophie updates the juice pack and i put it on ill wish I got white haha.
