phs, every iphone i've had has been white (except original, obviously) but 3g, 3gs, and 4s. the 4 didn't come in white when it was released but i would have gotten white for that too

i think it looks cleaner
 
A few weeks back I had this discussion with a female co-worker...She said she thought that the white iPhone was feminine or girly...I agreed with her, mainly because at that point I had never really seen a white iPhone other than the 3gs, I knew the white ip4 had been out for awhile but never saw it in pictures or in person.

Than that same weekend I went to the apple store and saw the white ip4 for the first time..Thought it was cool as heck.

A few weeks later I upgraded my black ip4 to a white ip4s 64 gig. No real regrets yet, although I do think the black can be less distracting for some things (i.e. looking at trippy apps like Trancit). Also, part of my decision was based on the fact that every previous phone I had was black, and I wanted a change.

As far as white being feminine or girly, after giving it some thought maybe we have George MIchael to blame:

This! White is just a colour and certainly one that should be without gender afflictions. If there was a pink iPhone, fine I understand worrying what people think. But if anyone thinks a man is feminine because his iPhone is white, that's their problem and I say $%^& them.

BTW mine's black. I considered white, but believed I would find the white bezel distracting. However, I was tempted by how awesome it looks in Apple's photos.
 
Guys drive Porsche,Jetta and other girly Mercs.
Majority of macbooks are sold in white.
You are good with white iPhone 4s.
I am guessing white Iphone 4s will have better resale value when iPhone5 shows up.
 
I didn't actually realise people thought white/black were male/female until someone actually said, the white is for girls.

Crazy world.
 
I ordered a black one, as although I sort of fancied a white one, I had similar concerns.

I then changed my mind and went and queued for a white one on the 14th.

It was the right decision, I love it.

(Married with 2 kids FWIW!! :p)
