John Gruber gets a white iPhone

[WeegieMac]

Its a white iphone 4 dummy.

If that was aimed at me, then no I'm not a "dummy" ...

The post I quoted and replied to, which didn't involve you by the way, stated that the white iPhone has always been for "look at me" people.

Now, considering the iPhone 4 in white is not available anywhere, I assume he too was referring to the white iPhone 3GS as it's the only model available in white and which would allow you to witness these "look at me people" with their iPhone 4's.

These are the very people I referred to.

Now take your fake iPhone 4 shots and go away ... dummy.

Lesson learned here children: check the reply quoted and replied to, and read the post properly.

Sorry my friend, it was not aimed at you, I simply was letting everyone know in the thread that grubers iPhone was a display dummy model is all.

Who the hell is John Gruber?

Eh, IMO, the white iPhone has always been for people who want the 'look-at-me-look-how-cool-I-am' factor. I don't know anyone who owns a white iPhone who isn't an self-abosrbed *******.

Hmmm.

I don't even know anyone who has a white iPhone. I don't even think I've seen one in my town or university.

Dummy - having the appearance of being real but lacking capacity to function; "a dummy corporation"

I know what a dummy is and in the case of a phone it's implied that it's use is for display in a retail store. John specifically called it a toy....not the same thing.

If this were a dummy phone from Apple, the quality would be much better.

It's not a toy or a dummy. It's a knock off. Engadget calls them Kirfs... (Keepin' It Real Fake)

No, not a KIRF either. This is not a working phone. It has paper for a display.

She was a victim of circumstance.
