in the florida heat and sun, just using my black 3Gs outside heats it up extremely hot. white would be nice to counter this, but i myself just love the black.

Conversely, white may be quite the eye scorcher in intense sunlight... I actually prefer the look of the white model (just marginally), but I'm a bit worried about this.
 
I got anything I could get my hands on (White Iphone 4), I wanted a black iphone 4 but they refuse to give it to me due to the colour of my skin.
 
I was thinking about getting a white iPhone because my black 3G is too close to overheating when used as a GPS on a sunny summer day. I do think they look ugly though and I was somewhat relieved when I found out they were not available. ;)
 
I was curious about it myself. I bought a white 3GS and was very much underwhelmed.

I suppose because the front was still black anyway.

"Hey let me turn my phone around 'Ooooooh whiiiiiiiiiiiite' "


This iP4 (nearly all white) seems to have a better look to it.
 
I heard its being held for in store lease due to special edition hardware. its going to a Flux capacitor that will generate giga watts of power through its whiteness... :p

I'm failing to see the attractiveness?

What would be your reason for getting the white iPhone 4 over the black one?

Because it's not available.

If it were available now, there would be considerably fewer people wanting one. Human nature.
 
Everyday there's always someone who just seems to lack any sort of common sense at all.

I can't comprehend how there's people that grow up not learning completely normal, basic lessons in life like people liking different things.

Any normal person with any kind of basic common sense and life experience of at least 10 years would easily and instantly come to the conclusion that some people like white because personal tastes are different for everyone.

But somehow this guy, when faced with this simple question, honestly and truthfully can not come up with an answer. He really can't understand why anyone would like something he doesn't.


Sorry about the long post, but it seriously blows my mind.

To each their own. I personally think the black one is ugly as crap. I reserved a black one to hold me over. When the white one is released I am going to upgrade to it and then give my wife the black one.

I couldn't imagine using the black one for any period of time. My wife can't stand the white one, so it works out for us both :D
 
Because everyone bought the black 3G/3GS and are sick of the color.


Whereas, I bought the "girly" white 3G at the beginning, which after 2 years I am sick of, and am getting a black iPhone 4.
 
I've been wondering if the white one is better on the eyes for reading text for long periods? It seems like having a lighter color around the screen might help the eyes.

Or that could just be some B.S.
 
I'm getting white. But black being the most popular isn't surprising. It's the same reason the most popular car color is silver. Most people are just boring and have a hard time making decisions, so they go with what is 'safe'.
 
I had a hard time deciding which one I liked best, but I think the black one just barely wins for me. I have a white 3G iPhone and love it, but the white front on the iPhone 4 seems to wash out the screen to me. Also, I think it the black phone looks a bit more professional.

I agree with this. I think the white model looks cheaper. Honestly, I have the white 3gs now, and I have been sad about it for a year. I think the black phone looks way more sexy. It's got class where the white phone has "originality appeal." We all know that scuffs, cracks, nicks, and case damage of any kind is amplified by the white, and covered by the black.

*But the more of you that wait for the white phone means my chances of getting a black phone on launch day improve... so by all means... wait it out!
 
If the white iPhone had a black front, I would have waited for them to come out so I could purchase that one. Unfortunately, the phone looks terrible with the white front.
 
I was set on getting the white but now I'm undecided again! lol

They both look great. I may just ask the person on the phone to randomly pick one and send it out to me :D

Black = stealth, tactical, cool, goes with everything, mancessory.

White = feminine, bright, airy, etc.

To me, saying mancessory is more "feminine" than having a white phone. Since when is white, pink? What an unintelligent-ass comment.
