iPhone 3G: Black or White

[djransom]

Which one is everyone who is upgrading going for, I think the black looks better

I concur, but the 16GB is attractive as well

I kind of think white should have been the 8GB only, and the 16GB be black and white. But that is just my opinion. I don't know what color to get until i see one in person.

I don't know why everyone thinks the white will look dirtier. I had both a black and white 1st gen Nano and the black looked waaay dirtier than the white. Every fingerprint and scratch shows instantly on the black, while the white stays pretty clean looking.

Black for me. White for my girlfriend.

 

[SFStateStudent]

Black looks pretty sweet!

If I was going to buy a new iPhone I would get the white because I miss the old white products.

Black. Definitely black.

Unlike the original iPhone, which has proved much more resilient to the sorts of scratches and scuffs that plague iPods, the iPhone 3G’s shell is indeed just glossy plastic with a thin layer of clear coating. It’s not ceramic, as some might have guessed, and not covered in a magic material that won’t scuff: as a result, you can expect to see marks similar to the ones on first-generation iPod nanos and fifth-generation iPods, all over again. The black version, as shown here, picks up fingerprints and smudges at an impressive rate; we wish we’d been able to take some pictures without the smudges. Ironically, the white plastic color that Apple discontinued for iPods may wind up being the most attractive color for new iPhones, especially after spending a few days in a pocket or purse.

I think I'll stick with white.

does anyone know if Apple or AT&T stores will have displays of the new iPhones up before July 11th to see the colors before I am waiting in line to buy one?

Interesting... I think ill still go with black though. The black front and white back is too much of a contrast for me.

32 G RED iPhone!

Out just in time for X-Mas.

 

[citron230]

i will sell the 16GB 3G for a 32GB Red in a heartbeat.

 

[secretbum]

I would get black because it would look weird if the back was white and the front was black.

 

[Shannighan]

i was hoping apple was leaning away from white

i was hoping they were leaning away from plastic.

 

[KingScooty]

What you going to get?

Black ftw! Roll on July 11th

 

[themightyspitz]

Black, most definitely. Then find a nice case for it or figure out a way to make that glossy black more matte.

 

[StingerT125]

Mine will be black!

 

[Hey Jude]

I will make a decision on the color after actually handling the phones, if I decide to purchase a 3G, but I would probably get the white to match my white MacBook.

 

[priesty16]

i would like to get a black..

but i think it would get scratched way to easily.

so i think it will have to be white, unless someone can convince me otherwise

iPhone vs. Other.

Black.

 

[stagi]

white, less scuffs visable

 

[peter32892]

Most likely black, but will have to see it in person and see how it stands up against use
