I'd prefer WHITE iPhone over BLACK. But, I am a little worried if I will be the only guy with a white iPhone while all the other guys are holding black iPhones.

I am not insecure about my masculinity, but I only see white iPhones on girls and haven't seen a guy holding a white iPhone yet.

Your thoughts on colors?

Color is choice. I'd care less if I'd be seen with white iPhone. However, it tends to be white is chosen more by ladies, but that doesn't mean white is ladies only.
 
How many of these girls = white boys = black threads will we see? It's ok in moderation but really now. :cool:

Girls and guys can both use black and white and if a color defines your sexual orientation then your issues aren't with what color to choose from.
 
I've seen 2 white iPhones ever. One belonged to a man, one to a woman.

Conundrum! But then I remembered the thread saying that Jeremy Clarkson has a white one, and he's a manly man right, what with all the cars and so forth

I'd better dye my skin or people might think I'm a girl.

:D
 
white isnt girlie!
im a girl and i prefer black, doesnt make me manly.

oh how i wish they had a pink one!! hahahaha
 
I have a white iPhone(I'm a guy), and all the females I know have black ones(actually I think a met a girl who had a white one)...also all the males I know have a black one too

I don't think either color is one one gender
 
I see a ton of dudes with white phones, I have one, a lot of my friends do too. I honestly think the white one is owned by more men, its a larger capacity more expensive phone, most women i know dont even know what 8 or 16 gb stand for.

And for the record, white is the original ipod color, traditionalists will stick with white.
 
i'm a man, the white just looks so much nicer in my opinion, it doesnt show scratches and smudges as much as the white and the white just grabs people attention :)
 
You know what they say about people who wear white pants...... I wonder if it applies to white iPhones as well? All joking aside I ordered a white iPhone 3GS it's just pure sexiness IMO.
 
im a dude and i have a girlfriend and i want a white one and she wants a black one :cool:

white is a royal color not gender oriented

same thing with purple believe it or not
 
I own a white iPhone, mostly because the store was out of stock of the black models at the time.

But guess what? color doesn't really matter, once you slap a case on it, you will never be able to tell if it's black or white.
 
You know what would be dope?

If they made a white iPhone and instead of the chrome Apple logo they made it black like this! :apple:
 
I'm a guy and I have a white iPhone. I love it.

Nobody seems to care what color you have anyway.
 
I am gay and bought a white iPhone precisely so I could easily be indentified and readily able to recognize other gay people as my gaydar isn't that good. What worries me is I might approach some sexually on the fence person like the OP who just isn't sure about himself. That could be dangerous at worst and embarassing to say the least.

Apple needs some new color scheme for confused bi/married types that eliminates all the guess work. I wonder which color is more popular at lesbian bars? I am sure butch lesbians are also frantically discussing this right now. Ugh i remember a time when things used to be so much simpler.
 
like others are saying, go with what you want. I wanted black solely because...well, I wanted black. So, pick which ever, and get a little passionate about how ridiculous it is that people would judge you by the color you chose for your damn cell phone. They're douches if they're wasting time to criticize you for a white phone.

I guess buy a white iPhone and shell out a little money to get some custom ark work done on the back cover... using 'easy to identify' color schemes.

Stop thinking about everybody else.
be independent and get what YOU like.

If you like WHITE. Then get it.

End of story.
 
get what you like. I really don't think other people will make assumptions about you based on your phone color.
 
I use the white 3G and just ordered the same color 3GS. I got a lot of positive comments about it, never anything negative.

Most people just see the black version because it was the cheaper 8GB model and that sold the most so it's nice to see the white one here and there.

Last, most people use there phones in cases so in the end think about that - I don't but you may.
 
Kevin Rose has a white one, so chances are every single digg member will get a white one also because Kevin is their e-father.

I ordered White because I already have a black 3G that I am not selling. Also, I think white gives it more of the 'Apple' look. I am a guy, and I don't care about associating the color with masculinity. Thats just stupid.
 
hahah reminds me of the time I was in line for the iPhone 3G and some dude was like "so what color are you all getting?"

and people were 50/50 like "well, black looks cool but I gotta see the white on in person" and some guy turned around and said, "DUDE OMG you dont want to get the white one because it's way too girly and all my friends gave me sh*t for having a white phone before"

I looked at him and told him "you need to get new friends, bro"
