White has its places - on a Lotus, for example, HOT. On a Land Rover, nice as well. A white t-shirt on a soaking wet, smoking hot woman, unbeatable. Even the mighty-mouse looks nice in white.
...but I gotta say, the contrast of the black screen and the white bezel, not so much. I'm gonna go with black again, methinks.

It isn't.
And for anyone who disagrees, why don't you walk up to Scarface and tell him to his face that white is a girly color. Do it.
Even though that is a quick and dirty 'shop, I am drooling like a St Bernard.
Even more so when you consider it will look 1000 times better in the sleek opaque albino glass 'flesh'.
For me pure white has always been synonymous with modern Apple products, from the original iPod and numerous generations since, all iMacs until current (Luxo, G5 with chin etc.), the iBook/white Macbook and the Alu keyboards. The current fetish for glossy black is just a fad, and an ugly generic-looking one as well.
I think the 'reflective surface' is where the ambient light sensor and proximity sensor are gonna be on the white front, because I don't think that the white glass is transparent enough to hide the sensors behind the glass. And they proabably moved the sensors from the left of the earpeice (like the 3G/3GS) to the top because of the extra space taken up from the camera.
I still lament the loss of the classic white iPod. My 3GS is a white version and I absolutely would buy a "proper" white iPhone in the future, if the option was there. To be honest, I've always found black to be a very dull colour for consumer electronics, much like the old beige PC towers. White might be considered a bit clinical but I do prefer it.
White is the most visible colour on the road
No surprise when WHITE is the most visible (thus the safest colour) on the road, day or night... White actually hides scratches and dirt much better than glossy black, just compare the back of an unprotected (no case) black and white iPhone...

Hell yes! That looks fantastic!
(I don't care what you say about it being "girly" not only is it more Apple-centric, white is classic. If white is offered for the next iPhone, consider me sold.)
Really depends on the climate you live in, not to mention time of year.
White is great in the spring and summer because it stays rather clean looking, while black cars are hopeless due to pollen, rain, dust etc. But of course white is a bummer in the winter when the surroundings are white from snow and the car is brown from dirt, sand, mud.
White is good for 6 months of the year, black is a pain in the @ss 27/7/365.
Of course, silver, light graphite grey or even brown is the one you should go for if you can't be arsed to wash your car regularly.
I had a creamy white mini clubman and it holds well, think I had only ever washed it twice...
Well, I have a set of portable speakers I use with my iPhone when using it for music, and when I bought it, the only color the store had was white. So white would look good with my little set up.
I don't put much stock in the concept of gender-related colors, except perhaps for pink, and in the right environment (Miami beach, maybe) a guy can wear a pink shirt. If there is a color choice, just get what you like & frack 'em if they can't take a joke, that's my advice.

Actually it's 20
June 7th - 7 days
Today: March 19 - 11 days till end of month
7 + 11 = 18
You know, we can end this white/black color for electronic devices debate easily if Apple just went ahead already and painted all their devices in nano paint that can assume any color and or pattern.
I'm really looking forward to this! If it's white like that all around I'll definitely get one. And the blue thing, I think that is either readjusted light sensor to accomodate for the front facing camera, or it's indeed some sort of LED indicator. I'm hoping it's the latter.
i thought light sensor until someone else mentioned LED indicator, now i hope its the latter.
