White iPhone 4S owners, happy with your colour choice?

The black one looks almost like a PSP or something. When you're holding a white iPhone, people KNOW it's an iPhone. When you're holding a black one, people could think it's one of the other hundreds of smartphone devices out there (unless you look closely).

Some phones from the back look very similar to the iPhone 4(S) from a distance.

I don't understand how white is better just because it's "different".

"I want to be different, that's why I want white."

"A lot of people have black so I'm getting white."

I'm sorry you guys buy things based on what other people do. I bought black because I think it looks better than white. Period.
 
I love my White iPhone. Every other iPhone I've had has been black, so I thought this was the perfect time to switch it up a bit.

Plus, is it just me, or does the white one look a lot more ... "futuristic?"
 
Every single iPhone I've had has been black, except this 4S of course and I can say I like it, it's different. Refreshing. Still may go back to black for the next gen though, only time will tell.
 
I'm loving the white. I've had a black front on every other iPhone, so this is definitely different than what I'm used to. I still like the black, but I feel the white is a bit more stylish, and almost has an 80's vibe to it.

I'm sure one day I'll switch back to black, but for now, I really like the white and I'm sure my next iPad will be white too.

This is my first white phone and I love it! It is very clean looking and the steel/white combo looks very hi tech.
 
Absolutely loving my white 4s...It looks so fresh and clean.

I'm definitely enjoying it more than the iPhone 4 I used to own. I especially love the fact that fingerprints really don't show up :D
 
To be honest, I got a white 4S just so it would look different than my black 4, but I'm pleasantly surprised at how good it actually looks in person.
 
Yes, I am pleased with my choice of going with the white 4S. Now I just need to find a good clear case!
 
Well, since it was a great conversation starter at the bar tonight with the ladies I'll say it was worth the investment.
 
Threads like this are retarded when people associate colors with gender.

Pink is only gender specific because people stereotype it to them.
same as purple and homosexuals.

however my faverate color is purple,
you say white is associated with woman, why? its a good looking/sleek color on phone.
and i LIKE IT.

black in my opinion, i hated all black iphones there hideous. really are.
cant associate any color to any group of people.
 
I have a black iPhone 4S but I'm thinking of returning for a white iPhone as it looks very nice.
 
My 2 cents; loving the white now. It does actually look better than the black, which is literary everywhere now. It's fickle yes.

As for the white being seen by some as feminine, luckily this product doesn't come off with that vibe. It just looks like a mans toy, cool.

Sorry though to those who dismiss white as being related to women more, it is. The white blackberry was more targeted at women. I'm in marketing and this is well known. However apple have bucked that trend, white iPhone rocks.
 
The white iPhone is more "Apple" considering the iPhones roots are from the iPod which was white.

The lack of a white option was one of the reasons I didn't keep my iPhone 4. I'm about as much of a dude as there can be and I love my white iPhone 4S.
 
Well inboxes it this morning when I got home. Thinking if I don't like it I can return it. Don't think I will need to though. Really like the white!

I agree, white is not associated with women. However, the choice of white is associated with people who are more interested in what their phone looks like than the average person (who doesn't care and just gets black because all phones are black these days). This, in turn, associates them with fashion. Women are big on fashion, and so the association is made. It's more manly to care more about usability and internals than accessorizing with the latest fashionable color of your electronics.

I'm not saying it's right, I'm just saying that's how people get there.
