What is the extra grate for over the ear speaker on the white iPhone...why doesn't the black have it?

I will be buying one of these for my wife. So I can finally use FaceTime. It stinks to be the only one with an iPhone 4. BTW antenae issues aside this phone is great in any color.

The box isn't labeled "iPhone 4.5"
nor is there a sticker on the front saying "Now with FREE Bumper Case!" or "Now with New and Improved Proximity Sensor!".

no, i feel the same way...sorta.
it looks good in pics, but i want to see it in person....it could be a butterface.
my ex was like that...
"manufacturing challenges" = not as popular as the black iPhone so we held it back to focus on black iPhone availability.
Oh well...it'll still have the same defective antenna design so I'm not in too big of a hurry to ditch my 3GS.
what antenna problem?
we don't have any issues here, just a wrong way to calculate the bars...

I have liked all the white iPhones, but this one just does nothing for me. I think the black looks much classier and sleek. I think the white face makes it look cheap to me, I don't really know, but I am not of fan.
The proximity sensor
The reason why it is visible on the white but not black is because of the color of the sensor. Since the sensor is IR, it is a dark color. Dark color doesn't show when it's behind a dark color lens or glass. It will, however, show through a light or white lens or glass. Look at your TV remote. If the glass in front of your remote is dark or black, you can't see the IR piece inside. However, if it's clear, you'd see the IR module.

Hmmmm....
You'd think Apple would have created some sort of clear plastic cover to avoid the touch-of-death issues before these white phones came out.
