I just got a black one on Saturday. 
I prefer the black because it looks really cool, and loads of people in my college have the white one, but no one has the black one.
Well Apple are moving away from white all together for their Macs and iPods, so that argument is a bit obsolete.

personally i like black. but im hoping for a change in design with the next generation of macbooks, as i will be getting one with the next revision. perhaps i am over-optimistic, but a switch from plastic to aluminum seems logical as the rest of the product line is switching to this
Well I prefer black. To me it looks more serious, besides the white ones look iBook-ish (no pun intended) and more 'cheap' altough both are utterly beatiful and speedy machines Nevertheless I love the looks of MBP/PB too.

If I were in the market for a MacBook I would go with the black. Sexy looking machine. It makes it look like a more serious machine too. As far as it getting dirty... so does white.
I don't know if others have said this, but its probably just you wearing the matte finish down from use. You see it all the time with the old G3 bronze keyboard PowerBooks(probably the G4 titanium as well) - after you use it for a while, your fingers wear down the matte and it looks shiny/greasy.
White for me! The black looks sexy, but then i already own a black PC laptop, so want something different.
I think the whole argument that "black=boy", "white=girl" is overly reductionist and prejudiced, it is all a matter of personal taste, regardless of gender.
I prefer the black, so does my girlfriend, she actually has one.
(I think they might benefit from an aluminum treatment like the ipod classic though, black AL looks really cool and doesn't smudge so easily, but nothing beats the Pro on the design department is my opinion)
