I decided to stop waiting when Apple changed the availability of it to "later this year" and ordered a black one. When the white version does come out, I may buy it and sell my black one.
 
Whatcha goin to do if Apple doesn't release it this year, at that point might as well wait until next June for new iPhone? No? :rolleyes:
 
I'm waiting until November for it. Then if the white one doesn't come out, I might get the black one or not at all. For me I'm in no rush to buy a new iPhone 4. It's just a phone, my iPhone 2g still works just fine for me.

I'm hoping that it comes out late August or sometime in September but who knows.
 
STILL waiting here as well.. but it's gonna be pretty tough to wait longer than say september. I recently got my white 3G replaced for free at my local apple store (stupid wifi connection problem) so that was pretty nice. but dammit I want facetime!! HAHA.

I feel you though, man.. I just hope we hear something soon.
 
I am.. sort of...

I am (lovingly) using a black 32 iphone 4. When the white is released I plan on utilizing the add-a-line feature and purchasing the white phone, pay the ETF, and resell it. By then the unlock should be ready so I think getting $1,000 or more is feasible.

A few variables but it looks possible. Like i said, sort of.

1000 bucks or more, huh? The Dalai Lama would be proud of you.....
 
Still waiting.

Same here. I've considered going black, but many people I've spoken to think I should hold out — myself included. So at least when I have mine, I can say that I've got it in white. And you don't. :p
 
I really don't know. I have had a black 32gb sitting here since Friday and I have not even opened it.

I figure if I can resist opening it for a couple more weeks, maybe we will know more about a possible white release date. If not, I will have a shiny new black phone :D
 
Is it possible to buy a black iPhone (open and use it) and if Apple makes an announcement in the 30 day return period, return it and continue waiting for the white iPhone?
 
I bought 2 black ones the day after release and have not regretted since. I would have gotten the white if it was available that day. I have owned black since iPhone's have come out so I was looking for something different this time. I have been watching the posts with people replacing the back glass with white and decided today to buy one also. I like the look of black front white back with black bumper. So hope it comes in next week.:)
 
I was waiting for a white one and wanted one VERY badly but after apple switched the time to "sometime" this year I said screw it.

By the time the white iphone comes out it will be half way until apple annouces ip5 which you should just wait for at that point anyways.

Yes you can do that if you feel that is ok (I don't). If I open mine I will keep it.

this of course crossed my mind.. and I'm not too worried about it in terms of waiting for the white, but this is of course assuming next year's phone would just be a few minor changes n ish. within those minor changes, the boost in memory would be the biggest for me but I'll be getting a 32GB for the ip4 so I think I'd be alright.
 
I plan to wait until September. If there's still no news by then, I'm going with the black.
 
I quit waiting on the 24th, I'm supposed to get an e-mail when the phone is shipping to my AT&T store. No e-mail at all yet. :( At this rate I guess if they release it in September I will for sure return and buy White.
 
One thing I am worried about is that Aplle might not announce anything in advance this time. I'm sure we will hear rumors from someone, but I doubt there will be another "hey everybody, white iPhone end of this month" statement from Steve.
 
We will know here the minute it is available. It will show up on Apple's website first.
 
I don't know if this is true for the other 3 or 4 people who still want it, but I want it for the look, not some belief that there will be changes to the phone.

yea this worries me too. I'm hoping apple throws out another one of their ridiculous PR releases sometime in august re: the white. ppl were mentioning in previous threads that there were various sources saying they expect the white in september.. keeping my fingers crossed!!

same.. and I won't settle for slapping on unauthentic "oem" parts to make it look white. fakin the funk, man lol.
 
I realized I was looking at all of these case/skin options for the black phone, like the aluminum, gelaskin, etc. thinking they would look really cool.

When I think about the white phone I don't want to cover it (maybe bumper and clear skin).
 
I'm gonna wait for it, don't care how many homophobe people think it looks feminine...

Hell, I'm more than comfy with my sexuality. I love wearing pink shirts too, I'm the guy you see walking down the street with the hot chic on his arm... Ain't nothing wrong with bein honest...

I do it for the ladies ;-), I even had an airline stewardess tell me she loved my pink shirt and how it took a real man to wear it... dang right ;-)

That's the BS I was thinking. So I jumped on the black iPhone bandwagon.
