I had a chance to grope the the white one recently and it is much nicer than the white 3GS which always looked like a bar of soap to me :cool:

Never considered getting the white one before holding it but now i'm not so sure... The combination of the white glass and the aluminium works!
 
Doubt it. The inherent problem with the antenna, which is all of them being on the outside and are thus bridgeable by the human hand, is still there.

I'm still getting one though, and I will be cutting a small piece from invisible shield and putting it on the bottom of the band and covering the black strip.

Is there something like an invisible shield that can go over the phone to solve the problem? I'm not being a jerk, I really want to know. This whole time I've been thinking that would be a easy fix, but I don't know much about antennas and films or coatings. If this is an option, it seems it would be fairly straight forward for Apple to add it and solve the problem. Do you know where to get something like that? I have several friends that would love to have it.
 
Fixed it!

It's really weird seeing you yanks fawning over the white ones. Most of the non-carrier stores in the UK only have the white models. Obviously shipped them over here, left all the black ones in the US... Strange...

Did they really? I was wondering about that since I saw it on 9to5Mac.

Scotch tape.

4¢.

Works like a champ.

Doesn't forgive the fact that the phone that "changes everything, all over again" doesn't work when you hold it wrong.

Get GhostArmer best screen protector I know and it wraps the whole phone.
 
Think im going to have to agree with the people who say that it looks tacky.
Definitely wont be buying a white one.

Wow - I'll pass that on. I agree that the phone should work regardless. Apple messed up on this one for sure.
 
It's about freaking time these pics show up.

p.s. I planned to order a bumper for my white iPhone but it won't arrive in time (ships in 3 weeks). They ran out of them already?
 
Ugliest apple product ever. I love how they kept the seams in the metal band black. You know, so that they are even more conspicuous.
 
Also, personally I hope the phone doesn't get released until July 29th because then I can wait in line for it after I get back from europe!
