Here are five reasons:
- A vast majority of cell phone users don't follow product cycles like we do.
- Some people have actually waited this long for the white one to come out.
- Some people just have money to blow like that.
- Some people like to match their phone to their outfit.
- Some people want to always have the newest thing, even if it's just a color change.
- Some people are racist. (Even towards phones)
- Some people are just now eligible for an upgrade.

I've worked in one of the video renting stores in UK couple of years ago while studying. A Sony rep told us once that whenever they release white PSPs PS2s etc, majority of them are factory refurb with a new body giving it a status of the brand new item... Not sure if it is true or not, but since then i've been obstaining second wave gadgets in different color since it kinda made sense.

people that only post to complain about threads makes you wonder why they're even hanging out in forums to begin with. these guys probably walk into a laundromat and wonder why so many people are washing clothes.

I expected the humor to fly over a couple of heads.

Great analogy!
If I had loads of money and didn't know what to do with it, I'd probably swap my black iPhone 4 for a white one... just for a change.
I'll probably upgrade when I become eligible in mid-May. Have the 3GS currently and it's starting to show its issues. Especially with the most recent iOS upgrades slowing it down.
Fair enough, dont understand the people that are selling their Black 4s to get this though
"why would you buy an iPhone 4 now if the 5th is coming soon"... With that logic, you would never buy anything since something better is going to come out.
It's a phone. Some people prefer the white one. When the iPhone 5 comes, their white iPhone 4 will still work.

Just to put it out there: who says there'll be an iPhone 5? Sure we expect it, but you can't make all your purchases based on assumptions.
I am going to buy the white iPhone 4 the day it comes out.
Here's my history. I read this forum regularly, know the iPhone 5/4S is coming out soon, but expect it to be a spec bump so I am not worried about not having it when it comes out. I bought an original iPhone when the price dropped big time, passed on the 3G upgrade since my town didn't have 3G coverage at the time, then upgraded to the 3GS on it's launch day. I intended to buy the white iPhone 4 on launch day, but since it wasn't available, I held out.
I am a male, and will not put a case on the white iPhone.
