He's basically paying $400 to get a different color phone. He has the newest imac, the newest macbook pro, and highest model ipad and highest model iphone 3gs. Seriously, he has almost nothing to gain by getting another iphone on top of that. And he's "worried" the white one won't come out. Just trying to prevent buyer's remorse cause the new iphone hardly has anything new that he doesn't already have.

He is not paying $400 for anything, the 32gig iPhone is $299. I can see the improvements in the 4 vs the 3GS and for me it was worth it. Bonus is that my girlfriend loves the "Hand me down" 3GS.

Jessica, you are right about the color not mattering if one puts it in a case, I am the one that said that, not the OP. I have since received the black bumper case and put that on. I like it much better, not because of the color, but because it has the smooth plastic around the outside, it slips in and out of my pocket better.

Most likely there will not be a cheap upgrade in 2011 for people that got a iPhone 4 this year. ATT will probably enforce the 2 year contract, well 18 months for normal contracts next year. Although I could be wrong, just my conjecture...

I still would prefer a white one, but once I bit the bullet and got the black one, I am totally happy with it.

It's coming, chances are it will arrive on 1st October with a redesigned antenna and Steve will try and tell everyone that the reason they have changed the antenna is because it just didn't look right with the white colour!! Then he will announce that they have created a new black version because they loved the new antenna design sooooo much!

Ladies and gentleman, i introduce to you the iPhone 4gs, everyone will cheer and simply forget about their iPhone 4!!




Btw, before you ask, I have had every iPhone there has been including the iPhone 4, and whilst I have managed to deal with the signal issues I still think it's incredibly arrogant that apple did not simply admit that they messed up and offer a proper fix!!

I get it, 'we built 300 million coated antennas because we like our customers so much.':p
