As recently as last week during the Verizon iPhone Announcement, Apple re-affirmed that the White iPhone won't be released to Verizon or AT&T until Spring 2011. Spring begins March 20, 2011.
Though there are more and more sites now claiming Feb 27th (Sunday) as the release date, it could be that one website is just copy+pasting the info from another website that just pulled a date out of thin air, and because more sites are reporting this, now its being passed off as proof without any reliable sources.
As far as inventory systems of retail company's, they have been known to have place-holders based on reports floating online.

But there were no rumors/reports to base that off of until they posted the details. It all seems to originate from them their-selves. (< is that a word?)
Sorry OP, its not gonna happen. We all know this. Iphone 5 is just around the corner, it was shocking enough to see a revision for verizon before iP5 release. If theres going to be a white iphone it will be the iphone 5...
I am not one for making new threads, and since this one seems to be the most recent regarding the White iPhone 4 (That didn't have a flame war going on), I am going to use it and sorry if I am hijacking this thread.
MacRumors and Engadget both posted today about the new iPhone 4 TV Ad showcasing Verizon and AT&T as the carries of the iPhone and I was curious to see it, but both had the link to a crappy YouTube clip of someone recording their tv set, so I went over to Apple.com to try ad find a better version, but its not available yet.
Anyways, as I was browsing I began to notice that Apple updated their website and no longer has any photos of the White iPhone 4 anywhere. Before, even though it was delayed, they still provided promo images in the Gallery section of www.apple.com/iphone, now they have been removed.
I don't know when this change occurred, but if it was recently, I wonder is Apple is going to scrap the whole idea and just move past it.
Before
Now
and if I'm reading the file name of this image correctly, does it mean that Apple updated this photo on Jan 6, 2011? This update could have been just to update the Home Screen to keep it up-to date and include GameCenter in the image? I don't know (I'm just assuming), but it strikes me as odd that knowing for the past 6 months that it was being delayed, now is when they finally decide to change the image, when we are approaching their Spring deadline??

There was a front page post about apple pulling all the white iPhone 4 pictures. I hope the white one comes out before Spring, that would truly be amazing.
I believe I read that post, and that was back in October and it only mentioned the removal of the option to order the white iPhone 4 (unless I missed a more recent article) the gallery and bumper images were still there up until recently. Now all images seem to be gone.
I REALLY care that a white iPhone 4 comes out in Feb for the simple fact that it will mean any issues with production/flash will have been worked out and the iPhone 5 will have an on-time and problem free white version

I wonder if they release a white iPhone whether it will be revised with verizon like antennae and if they revise the black version aswell.
If they don't IMO it'll be a very good sign that the part that leaked in the video that was posted was indeed of an iPhone 5.
