But why its on the white and not on the black?

I was SURE that there was nothing on the black one but I zoomed in on the black one pictured above and if you reallllllly look I think you can see the outline.

It seems VERY well camouflaged.

It's the light and proximity sensors under the glass. I'm going with the black color because it's not as noticeable.

I don't think the front camera has an LED like on iMacs and MacBooks. I don't see one in the Engadget hands-on. http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/07/iphone-4-first-hands-on/

I'm not really too worried about privacy, but would have liked there to be one none-the-less.

That is on the top, next to the headphone jack.

I bet if you hold the black up to light you would see something similar. it might just be a slightly lighter black oval, like on the other iphones.

But they added a grill pattern on the white to make it less obvious.
