I was drawn to the white one when I first saw the pictures, but still didn't want to decide before I saw them in person.

And while standing in line on Friday, watching he first people coming out with their newly bought iPhones, blacks and whites, I just knew I had to get the white one.

It's gorgeous. Simply gorgeous.

I'd probably be equally happy with the black one, and whilst in the iPhone line, we were told that the 16GBs were sold out, so I was mentally prepared to get the black 8GB - if I could get any at all, those where also getting scarce - but luckily NetCom flew in another shipment, with 40 new iPhones (to replace a shipment that had gone missing, and was later found at a obscure storage space in the shopping centre and sent back to NetCom to use in the online store). So when I finally - after 4 1/2 hours in line - I could pick and choose, and got my initial first choice.
 
Unfortunately those of us in the UK who already had iPhones/contracts with O2 weren't able to get the white model. If I'd have that option, I'd definitely have gone for it :(
 
I had originally walked into the store to get a black but they had sold out. I'm glad I had walked out with a white one though.
 
I agree..the white version looks way better than I thought it would. I was a little on the fence but went with the black and am very happy with it's subtleness. The white is nice though.
 
I to was on the fence about which one to get. While in line at the new leawood ks apple store I finally settled on the white. Could not be happier. When talking with others in line most were set on the black. Once in the store I saw a trend of more people going with the white.
 
I went into the Apple store leaning towards the white but still decided to check out both of them side by side and in my hands before buying.

Indeed the White is sexier and that's what I got.


Zero smudges and the white looks very elegant and clean in my opinion.
 
umm not so much... check out this example pic someone made of white on front... not so hot.

found that pic! I currently have a black 16gb but i like the lack of smudges, the look of the white and silver together, and because its limited edition I want one while I can get one! check out why I realized im glad they didnt do white on the front for the white model!
