I think it looks white.
No. I asked for a white phone because it would make a change from all the black or grey/metallic phones I've owned.
You're not the first person to say/ask that. I've never understood why people think "white phone = feminine". White phone = white phone.
Why?
It was? Purely because of its colour?

It only looks "cream" in yellow-lit rooms. Outside and during the day, it's bright white. Light bulbs make it look more yellow, but it's not actually.

I love the white. It's very nice and in my opinion looks a lot better. The only thing I don't like is the black proximity sensor above the ear piece.

I wanted a white iPhone 4, but it was unavailable at launch so I settled for a black one. When iPad 2 was launched I immediately opted for white. I now have a white 4S and couldn't be happier with it. Don't get me wrong, the black does look classy and cool. But everybody I know has a black phone of one kind or another, I like that mine is different. The white also doesn't show fingerprints, other than the screen itself, which I find very appealing. Scratches, inevitable over the next year, should be less visible as well. I also feel that white is very appropriate, I think of it as Apple's signature color.
I love having my white 4S. everyone and their neighbors have the black versions. white is different.... I've always believed in being different.
Who cares what other people think about your phone? It's just a phone, it doesn't define you (and if it does, I guess you've got bigger problems) ...
I got a black 4S, which looks just like my black iPhone 4. I don't really care if it's not obvious to everyone that I upgraded my phone; I got the black one because I was afraid the white one would be slightly off-white, and having different whites right next to each other (the screen and the screen border) would drive me nuts.
It looks great, and I'm glad I got it. so far, my only gripe is finding, or rather, was finding the right case for it. I dont want a white one at the chance of te whites being different so I just got a black band with a clear back.
At the end of the day, those who got the white wanted the white. Personally, I only got the white because nobody seems to have it and I always asked others to look at theirs when I saw it.
Now I have a white one of my own. I just got tired of looking at black iPhones.

I agree. This being my first iPhone, I realized just how well built these things are. Sadly, that doesn't stop it from breaking every time you drop the thing :/

It looks awesome.

Definitely glad I picked white.

Making sure people know you have an iPhone is just stupid. Not to mention the iPhone isn't a status symbol anymore as everyone and their mother owns one now.
