just an update, i returned my black 32gb today, went to another store and bought another 32gb so i have another 30 days to return it. HATE ALL YOU WANT IT DONT PHASE ME!
one way or another the white one will be mine, its apple fault they screwed around and didnt have the white one ready so ill go thru as many black ones as i have to inorder to get a white one without waiting with no iphone.

I only hate this if you are stealing black iPhones from people who want them, but being that your area clearly has enough in stock, it doesn't bother me

Personally, I don't think they'd put the white iPhone up without notifying people first. Buuuuuut that's just my opinion.
I really want it, but I'm not willing to lose sleep over it unless it's a definite thing.

break me off a piece of that kit kat bar!
^ See what I did there?
P.S. - Apple store not down makes me cry inside.
What 30-day window? 30-day window of launch day buyers? 30-day window of second-day buyers? 30-day window of last week's buyers? Apple wouldn't place any discrepancy on iPhone buyers depending on when they bought it.
There's no reason Apple would care even the slightest bit about people swapping black iPhone 4s for whites. Here's why.
1) a return with intent to buy is still a sold iPhone for Apple. they don't lose any profit.
2) with black iPhone 4s being returned, more black iPhone 4s will be available to those who want black. We all know that's a lot of people.
3) if you're honestly judging the amount of black-to-white returns by what you see here on MacRumors, remember that all 3 million people who have bought iPhone 4 aren't represented on MacRumors, and that even still, the amount of people who are saying they will be swapping (on MacRumors) is very little -- at maximum, probably 50. But for argument's sake, let's say that 100,000 people are going to swap black-to-white. I figure that is a reasonable guess. That's still only 0.03% of phones that will be swapped. And still, why would Apple care? See #1.
The "30-day window" has absolutely nothing to do with when the white iPhone 4 will be released. If it happens to be after the "30-day window" (which is still an amazingly vague concept) it'll be mere coincidence. I'm just hoping the release is tomorrow!
You don't need to give me some long post when I've already said that I think it won't have anything to do with "the 30-day window", I just think that Apple, being Apple, will wait until the last possible minute because they always do. I also wouldn't be surprised if Apple puts the information for free cases online Saturday night, which is as late in the week as possible (since Sunday is, technically, the start of next week).
Yeah, Brien, I know you're one of the few who are always on the white iPhone 4 threads here, and I was wondering why you would be saying that the "30-day window" affected the release because I could have sworn I remember you saying the opposite in another thread. I figured I was thinking of someone else. Regardless, it was good to re-post it for anyone who still suspects that the 30-day window matters.
EDIT: OMG Brien, I apologize. I misread your post. You wrote "don't". I even quoted it. My bad.
Maybe, just maybe, the BGR report is true, we'll get an announcement tomorrow about the release on Saturday? Blind hope man. That's what this is all about.
Out of curiosity, where are you? Apple stores and AT&T stores are still waitlisting people here
I was just thinking. We all have some good damn patience for waiting this long.
I know there are others with worse phones than I have right now, even tho my iOS4 3G is cracked and works when it wants to, but still...
We shall all soon be rewarded, just stay on top of things.
We're close!!
ps. Im just trying to pep myself up, because i really want this damn phone. Life will be sweet soon.

No problem, it's late, and we're all probably a few minutes away from just breaking into a Foxconn factory and stealing a white iPhone.
I'm seriously hoping that BGR report about clearing out the lists has to do with the white iPhone. I mean, as someone said last night, "we're running out of July", so we should know what's going on soon. Only 9 (or 8 on the east coast) days left!
not of the business week!
Ssh, don't tell Apple!
