I've 'bagged' a WHITE iPhone 3G today!! - Apple Store, Trafford. (MORE PHOTOS added!)

Thanks everyone.
It really does ROCK.
My experience with iPhone 3G has been stellar so far.
and because I didn't buy the original iPhone, I'm entirely new to the experiences you iPhone v1 owners are probably tried of, by now.
- Call quality is top notch
- GPS is stunning
- SMS displaying in an iChat interface is really nice.
- 3G & EDGE coverage here in Widnes is great!
- JSU apps, as good as ever
- App Store, amazing, as ever.
... And of course, the fact it's WHITE.
I'm truly made up.
Hopefully I might get some more pictures up for your guys/gals later tonight if not tomorrow. Its very hard for some to choose which colour to go with,
on the 16GB line, and after seeing both, today, I 100% recommend the white. It's funky, unique, and scratches and smudges don't exist on it.
It's the colour to get, if you don't want to case the thing up!
On a serious note, the only downside I can see for the white model is,
it would be instantaneously recognizable as a 16GB to a would-be thief.
At this point, I don't really care.
I love the colour, I'm male, and I live for today, only!

No, the iPhone 3G dock is now an optional extra, and doesn't come included with the phone.
I'm not sure whether you can.
I originally had Simplicity, which I'm canceling with 30 days notice.
This is the Apple Universal Dock I originally used for my iPod touch, and does not come with, or fit, the iPhone 3G.
Even More Photos:

I think I will get the white one now after seeing the photos.
although it would have been great if the front was white too.

It seems they are intending to bring out Dock Adapters for the Universal Dock and the iPhone 3G.
If you take a look here and scroll to the bottom, they're listed as one of the accessories, although they're greyed out so they don't seem to be available yet.
Still, the White iPhone looks gorgeous... I'm definitely gonna hold out until I can get one in white.
Rang the Apple Store Trafford centre 10am, they said systems were back up.
I asked the guy, if he were me, knowing the stock levels, would it be worth the hours trip from Widnes, he said 'definitely'.
I went, queued for 1Hr 10 mins and activation took 20 mins in total.
I walked out with a fully functioning iPhone 3G white.
Far as I can see, no screen issues.
I was already with O2, but took out a new contract, and was treated as a new customer to O2.
I've since released the 8GB black I was holding, until Monday, at the O2 store, Widnes.
One COOL day.

Hey, these photos swung me from the black iPhone, just got back from the apple store with my white iPhone. It looks so nice!
anyone who is looking for a case recommendation to cover the back, but not to thick, Incipio's gel case is great! It covers the back and the metal sides by the screen. Looks nice, and it feels great in the hand. Really like my choice in casing. Also when i got it at the AT&T store it was $20 in case you were wondering.
Glad I could help you with your decision!
Oh right, thats great news! - I'll look out for them becoming available, or I'll pickup the 3G dock.
And yeah, the pictures don't really do it justice.
If I was you, I'd try and find it in an Apple store, to get a feel of how the two tone effect looks.
To me, it's stunning.
Again, glad I could help with your decision.
Personally, I actually like the two tone look, it sorta gives it that sense of 'Exclusivity'.
lol - Thats unfortunate. Hope you get your white iPhone 3G sooN!
If anyone has any questions they'd like answering about the iPhone 3G white,
or wants me to take any more profile shots, just ask.

Congratulations ! ! !
Have you guys with iPhone 3G noticed that there is a GAP (a CUT) at the mute switch? This kinda bother me, since dust can get in it.
I say apple are the better of the two and more likely to do so....
...on the other hand i want O2 to let Apple upgrade customers as i want to give Apple my money for the handset not O2 (They don't need to be rewarded for incompetence!)
sweet, dude. glad to see a long posting person finally got one!!
the white one is nice, i didnt need 16gb of storage so the 8 does me fine. plus i got it for only 49 euro!
id like the white one much more if the front was white too though.
by the way, was it only apple stores giving the sexy bag with the phone?? if so has anyone got a spare, id be willing to give you at least $8 for it!

Thank you - yeah, I really hope it is looked on as the 'exclusive' colour!
... And yeah, it is kinda retro!
Thank you. It ROCKS.
Congratulations ! ! !
Again, Thank you - Really glad I waited in line for this.

Yeah, it come down to personal preference, and, of course, weighing your media library.
You only get the sexy bag at Apple Stores, yes. - And no, you can't have mine
Glad you secured an 8GB model though, and at 49 Euro!! - That's cheap.
