I have a white 16GB 3G, and if O2 let me upgrade now I'll get a white 3Gs.

Personally I though the bright pink PStwo was very cool. Strangely, a lot of my male friends also thought it was pretty cool. Frankly, associating colours with sex/sexual preference is a little past-it in this day and age.

:apple:
 
I'm a guy and just ordered my white iPhone. Honestly, I've seen lots of iPhone 3G's, and most are black. But I think it's because the 8GB only came in black. White looks better IMO, and also doesn't show scratches as much.
 
I just ordered a White 32gb and I am a manly lumber-jack
man who cuts down trees for a living.

Don't know why I said that, but yeah, I am not ashamed to have a white iPhone. It will match my Whitebook nicely.

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?

dont be a fool
white looks great for either gender
IMO its a sleeker looking phone in white (im glad i have white, my friends have black and i dont like the look of it at all), and white has always been apples color. Its not like only girls had iPods when they only came in white, or iMacs or iBooks or.....

I'm male, have a white 3G and I know many other manly men who have white iPhones.

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.

That is very good advice but I am worried that if I customize it the wrong way I will look too macho.
 
I'm a (Man) and I'm very masculine. There's nothing wrong with a white iphone in my opinion at all. I defy anyone to tell me this makes me "Gay" because of the color of phone I purchase !!!!!!!!




Just ask my "boyfriend" ----- He agrees with me also
 
[Merged] iPhone - White vs. Black (2010 / iPhone 4 Edition)

ModNote: This is now the 2010 edition of the perennial "white vs. black" discussion. Post new threads on this topic at your own risk! :eek: --mkrishnan

I had a white iPhone 3G, I loved the color much better than black.....I just don't know what to think of the white iPhone 4....with the white front and all. I want to pre-order it online so it can be mailed to me on launch day (isn't that how it works?) I just don't know whether to choose white or black....

I want to see them in real life before I make up my mind.

I have a 3G that is just about due for a replacement, and back when I got that 2 years ago, I was gonna get the black one, but once I saw the first ones in the line coming out with their new iPhones, and could see the difference between the black and the white I changed my mind and git the white one. Never regretted that. :)

Now, my first instinct was to go for the white one, but - again - I could change my mind come buying day... ;)
 
I really am not liking the look of the white model. And I've got a white 3GS. Lower perceived contrast and the whole device just looks cheapened.
 
So far, I am loving the white one. I can see why one would prefer the black, but I am sold on the white.

This thread needs pollage.
 
The white one looks like a cheap China knockoff (this coming from a white 3gs owner). I'm going to choose black with this round.
 
I have a white 3gs and I like the white iPhone 4 better (although the black looks awesome too). Most phones are black, so it's nice to have a change.
 
I couldn't agree more. I currently have a 3gs black and was set on getting a white 4 until I saw the pictures. I like the White back with black front. Not liking the all white that much...

I like the white look now that it's on both front and back. Before, it looked hideous and almost out of place. I might choose white just to be different from the previous two.
 
I like the white one very much, and at first I thought I would go for the white one but now I think I go again for the black one. I think it looks better in combination with the 2 cameras (which look, or at least seem, black) and you can see the sensors a little bit in the white model.
 
I'm torn between the two colours. However, having just looked at some of Engadget's hands-on pics, i couldn't fail to notice that the black front/back is a real fingerprint magnet. For that reason alone, I might go for white -although the 3GS used different materials on the back, it also tends to show scratches less with the white model than the black.
