You can't see fingerprints on the white version.

White iPhone 4 with no fingerprints >>> Black iPhone 4 with fingerprints



In addition to not showing fingerprints the white iPhone 4 also wont get as hot in the car since white reflects light and black absorbs it.

In addition to not showing fingerprints and not getting as hot the white iPhone 4 also is less common than the black version, and will thus have higher resale value on craigslist/ebay

X100. My girlfriend got the white one this morning (and is still freaking out on how awesome it is) and the only thing I like is NO fingerprints appear.
 
The white one looks girlie

Really you are going to get to it looks girlie. They are white and black neither one of them is "girlie" I have a white iPhone 4 and white iPad because I think it looks better and I can't stand fingerprints.
 
black vs white is like glossy vs anti-glare screen question.

Exactly! It's a completely subjective and personal preference. Neither choice is wrong, it just depends on what works out for you. Although personally I'd get the white one.

This is another stupid remark I always hate seeing when it comes to colours. The colour does not define gender! I use the magenta highlight colour on my MBP. So? That doesn't make me any less manly, because I'm not insecure with myself. Honestly people, just pick whichever you like better and stop listening to what other people tell you. You're the one using it all the time, so you should go with the one you prefer.
 
Only on Apple forums does one come across threads like this.

It's a reflection of the demographic. No wonder Apple has so many followers, they get em young and train them to come to daddy's place for all the answers. Apple and it's followers will guide and influence them to be impulse buyers, act as though life is hanging in the balance while they endure their excruciating wait for the latest and greatest.

They come here asking how to spend daddy's money. What to buy and when? No individualism, no thinking for yourself, just hurry and log into an Apple forum and they will do your thinking for you.

And these are our future leaders, or ?

I'm a guy and I have no issues rocking my white iPhone 4. If I didn't already have the original iPad, I would get the iPad 2 in white as well. Like sdb said, white doesn't show the finger prints as much, and I'm pretty OCD with keeping my Apple products clean.

Agreed. I love the white iOS devices. My 3GS was white, and I even converted my 4 to white (before I broke it)...and if the 5 comes in white on launch, I'll get that too.
 
Why would I try and convince you of anything? I don't know you, I don't know your tastes, and I don't know what your situation is. Do what works best for you.
