What is your gender and iPhone color?

Male, white. This is my second iphone, the first being the 4, in black. I chose white because the black didn't really *pop* this time for me. Every picture I've seen of it so far I've had the same reaction. "Ugh." Also, I wanted to feel more like this was a completely new phone and not just a longer screened version of what I have now. Truth be told this is the only place I've even heard about white being for girls or whatever else people are saying. If you associate phone color with gender, I question your maturity level.

And I just noticed the back and forth pattern which I never realized before. The white iPhone 5 is a jewel, though. I think it looks awesome and I like how the back plate is the same color as all my other products.

Male, currently have black iPhone 4 (my first iPhone) and will be getting white iPhone 5. (nearly went and got white 4S a few months back but decided to wait for this one...glad I did

Wow, lol I consider myself pretty OCD and those black dots on the top front of my 4S don't bother me at all. That's some extreme OCD.
1. Question the gender binary here, don't support it. There are not just two genders. There are people of mixed gender, those of multiple genders, people who are transgender, and genderless people. Respect them.
2. There is a difference between gender, gender identity, and sexual orientation, and all play a factor in things like preferences and culture - and in some cases, they have absolutely nothing to do with what shade iPhone you get.
3. Statistical sample size issues plague this poll. With 280mil iPhones out there, 93 people isn't a very good poll.
4. Sample bias issues plague this poll. This forum is filled with enthusiasts.
5. Response bias plagues this poll. People who are extremely vocal about the color-gender link are very likely to vote, and people who don't care are less likely to participate.
6. No option for people who have one of each color concurrently, or ColorWare or aftermarket mods for that matter.
