Why did you pick Black or White for iPhone 5?

However... there is one thing that my eyes can't stop looking at on the white model... is that 1/32" black line border between the viewable screen and the white bezel... but it isn't a show stopper. The black model hides that 1/32" black line a little better... so my eyes don't notice it that much when looking pictures or watching movies.

Yea, this is kinda catching my eye right now too. But since they did such a good job of centering and squaring the screen I think in time I will start to ignore it. Back in the day this used to drive me crazy even on screens that had a black surround due to crappy alignment.
 
I would have picked the black iPhone 5 due to the special operations look it gives me when I wear a black suit and sun glasses.

In few days it was bugging me but now I got used to it :).
 
I opted a white color, coz it looks much more shinier . And i think white looks much more elegant.

Ah, that's good. The sooner we get over it the sooner we can get back to drooling over how beautiful the white and silver that is the white iPhone 5. :)

But seriously, I can't get over how nice the frosted silvery aluminum looks. It's like this phone is some sort of precious metal ingot in my hands.
 
White because I have always preferred the classic white look for my Apple products. I'll probably always go white with my iDevices.
 
i will choose the white iPhone 5. the reasons are below:

1. White is more nice than the black.

2. white looks thinner

3. Black seems quite boring and stiff.:D
 
Black, because last October it was the only color in stock. But I don't regret it. It's still beautiful.
 
White. I love the gray back.

And the guys saying white is girly. I wonder what you do with the included white earpods, cable and charger...

Also the first iPods only came in white.
 
I love the black. Thats what I have.
But IMO, if you are going to put a case on it, the white looks better.

I got the black, matches my style.
Black car, black clothes (always a suit), black sunglasses, black rims, black watch, black gloves, black car interior, black shoes, black belt, black phone, black case on black phone, i could keep going…

what colour skin?
 
The exterior color of my car is white, my fiance's iPad is white, so therefore I was compelled to get a white iPhone.

In all seriousness, I've had the white iPhone dating back to the 4. I'm OCD about fingerprints, and the white model mitigates that (to certain extent).
 
Black because I don't like how there's a giant black space when the screen is off on the white. And the two black dots on the front throw the look off for me
 
White

I chose white because of all the reports of paint coming off the black and i didn't believe until i went and saw it myself at the apple store! all the black units had many scratches and scuffs while the whites looked fine
