Wow does the white look awful. The black is pretty cool looking, but the white version just looks awkward.
Got a tip for us?
Let us know

Well, the back is obviously not the same metal alloy with different finishes as the earlier MacRumors article cited. I mean, if it is white on the top and bottom, and the metal is silver in color, it's obviously two different materials or the white is simply painted on...
I also assumed the side bands of the white would be white, not silver, like the black's is black. It does look a bit awkward from this angle (the white one, that is)

I do like the headphone jack on the bottom but why would they move away from the 30 pin jack when hundreds of millions of devices out there use it. Makes no sense.
At least with all these leaks, we'll have cheap cases available come launch. Looking forward to switching back to Apple!
I measured it roughly and it has about the same 1.95 ratio but still the screen might be bigger.

Personally I like it for the most part. I wonder if the aluminum back is photographing well, maybe it looks whiter in person?
I hope this is not final, or else I would be pretty disappointed and stick with my 4S instead. Still pretty cool looking compared to this mismatched hell. 
I would bet that the white will not look like that. It has to be a film or something. Apple would never make the center of the iPhone a puke color. The final versions, if this is the phone, will likely be one color down the rear panel.
Looks like an iPhone 4 with some nice refinements. I won't complain about that.
Really? As much as I fetishize the hardware, I always figured the real reason people consider themselves Apple devotees is the software. I don't even want to imagine abandoning the iOS and OSX ecosystems.
Oh, dear. This is what happens when a Magic Mouse and a Palm Pre get married
The middle part of the backside looking different is pretty ugly imo. I don't think they'd release it with a 2 tone back plate like that.
It looks like these backplates that sw-box have been selling for a while.

Moving the facetime camera to the center is a good idea.
Manufacturing the phone with mismatched colors is a bad idea.

Beautiful, but I don't see a point of those thin black/white stripes top and bottom on the back. Why not a single aluminum panel? Then you could have interchangeable faceplates and BOOM production simplified.
