Engadget reports that it has received photos from a reader who claims to have purchased a white iPhone 4 through Vodafone in the UK today. The carrier has reportedly been gearing up to receive shipments of the device, but it now appears that the units may in fact be arriving and have slipped out for sale in a few instances.
Now, we've secured a few images of a 16GB model from a separate source that has seemingly made its way into the hands of one lucky customer (read: bloke) over in Britain.

As the story goes, the carrier's point-of-sale system rang it up as a black iPhone, and shortly after the sale went down, Voda sent out a notice to halt sale of these gems "until next week."

Interestingly, the iPhone appears to show a modified proximity sensor, utilizing an open slot over the earpiece instead of the previously-seen fine grating.

Hmm, cool. I'm eligible for my AT&T upgrade on May 13, so this might be my next phone. I'll have to see it myself though to see if the white is for me. I don't want to wait until September..my 3GS has been clunky lately.
 
It's the iPhone; or pretty much how the iPhone 5 will look - it's the best iPhone 5 (white) mock up you'll get.
 
The white iPhone 4 has always had the cutout over the ear piece for the proximity sensor. It's been in every promo image provided by the company since introduction last June.
 
Can't wait to see the people selling their working Iphone 4s for a White one. Same **** different toilet. FYI

It appears they redesigned it. It used to be a series of small dots with some sort of reflective film behind it. I guess they redesigned it due to all of those issues with them not working?
 
I believe it. Wonder why they changed that proximity sensor.
I don't like that "double grill" (proximity sensor and speaker grill)

I really like the look of white, if there are two colour choices for the iPhone 5 I'd definitely purchase white.

IMO the old one looked nicer. But hey, if this one works better than I don't mind.
