I don't personally know cos have only ever owned black.....but i would imagine with a white phone you would see dirt more.....but you may see scratches less easier.....so pros and cons......
But personally i would wait 2 months and get the next iPhone....you've waited 2 years, may as well wait 2 more months

No, it won't fade, but like any white product, dirt will show up more visibly then the black model.
I have a black 4S and Black iPad3. Next time around I'll get white. It's all personal preference though.
There is glass over both faces so the question about whether one gets dirtier is irrelevant. Wipe them off w/ a microfiber cloth & they'll both look like you had just walked out of the store with it.
I don't like how the white models sometimes develop this yellowish tint to them. Maybe it's been fixed by now but that's one reason why I dislike the white models.
Also, I like how on the black models the proximity sensors don't show. Looks classier.
But this is ALL personal preference. Go to the Apple Store and take a look yourself.

I find the white ones look a bit girly, but then sometimes I think they look really clean and pure.
Anyway, I always go for black because it's the safest option; if you like white but are not sure you can always get a black iPhone and buy a white case

They both look great. However, I got black for the following reasons:
1. You can see the sensor (proximity/light) and camera more visibly on the white while it's more hidden on the black.
2. When the screen is on, the black hides the border of the display so it looks like edge-to-edge glass on the screen.
3. The black won't show dirt. There is plastic between then glass and the steel band that wraps around the screen. This can get dirty.
HOWEVER, the white WILL NOT become yellow overtime as it's behind glass.
Also, the black shows more fingerprints more easily.

I have to wonder how many people actually search the forums before opening a new thread.
You know, just to see if their question has already been answered.

I see a lot of guys that have a white iPhone. So really it doesn't really matter what color you choose. I used to have a black iPhone 4 but switched to a White iPhone 4S. Black does look more professional than the white. But only you can decide what color you like and what suits for you.
Not sure about it becoming dull, but take into account that the white ipone is a tad thicker then the black one.
9.3mm vs 9.7mm
My opinion on it is... who ever thought a white cell phone looked good? I personally don't see why all these cell phone companies have to make a white product along with black???
Apparently the millions of customers who bought white thinks they look good and the designers just guessed correctly. What's the big deal anyway? No on eis forcing you to buy or even like white.
