So the white iPhone 4 being delayed until God knows when is no significant news for MR, yet Scott Forstall getting a Twitter account surely is. 
I'm one of those people. Im patient, and I don't mind waiting for the White iP4, as it ties in well with my expenses anyway for the unlocked, simfree model.
Thank you! Misery likes company, so it´s nice to know I won´t be alone in my waiting
I hope we´ll still geta free bumper though Thank you! Misery likes company, so it´s nice to know I won´t be alone in my waiting
Yeah, guess you can count me in. Getting both of my bumpers next week. Guess I'll play with that for a few weeks...pretending.
LOL.

Sounds like you'll be waiting longer than a few weeks...so you'll have an "air iPhone". Is there a cheap data plan for that?
Don't say that! I've given the 4G a miss to wait for the 5th gen cos I think all four gens of the iPhone have been essentially the same as the last - I'm hoping the 5th gen will be a genuinely different and new phone.
Apple has been persistent on leaving the antenna on where it currently is but I think this is a pretty good theory.
I really really wanted a white iPhone. Anyone just going to go ahead and get black? Just ordered mine from At&t.
As I said on another message thread, Apple may be delaying the white-back iPhone 4 for two reasons:
1) They're re-doing the internal electronics to fix the proximity sensor problem.
2) They're adding a clear plastic cover over the entire metal band antenna structure (and increasing the height of the buttons on the sides to compensate for the clear plastic cover) to correct the antenna reception issue.
As such, all the new white-back iPhone 4's will sport this change, along with black-back iPhone 4's after a certain serial number series.

I have never understood the appeal of the White iPhone. I have nothing against it, god bless more choices. What upsets me about the delay is it would have put more iPhones out there potentially making it a bit easier to get a hold of either one.
I don't believe for a second they are working on fixing the antennagate because many people with the first round of iPhone 4s would demand a new and fixed black one.
Also I don't get people who think every time something gets delayed it is never coming out. It is always a possibility, but rarely one worth the time mentioning.

You're so right. The iPhone 4 is pretty much the same as the others
Their ad campaign was "This Changes Everything. Again." In their mind it has been changes all over the place. You really expect some radical departure from them in Gen 5?
they have to be remanufacturing it in some way to fix the antenna !! surely it cant take that long to get the paintwork right ?! they managed to produce them for WWDC alright !

The black one works - I've had mine since day one and no problems at all.
It could be a production problem with WHITE glass.
How much do you know about glass production, and getting consistent color from one production run to the next?
Black glass is much easier to deal with.

Are You Still Gonna Wait For White iPhone now???
And the saga continues as we now know that white iphone 4 will be out "later this year". This hurts people that have skipped the black iphone 4 to wait and get the white one and now they are going to have to wait as much as 4 months??? I upgraded to a blk iphone 4 on July 14th, and the only reason i waited was becuase that was my upgrade date and i got mine for 300. I was going to hold out for the white but i couldnt wait anymore. Looks like i did the right thing!!
Sooo i ask you Apple Cult!!! Will you continue to wait for white iphone 4???
