He probably prefers white over black? Just a guess though

 

[treyjustice]

What happened to the limited supply ;P

 

[gdjsnyder]

He probably wanted white. Apple isn't going to screw a reviewer. Only customers.

If anyone, they're going to find a white iPhone for Walt Mossburg if he asks for one!

 

[Hawklight]

No clue but his review is boring as ****.

 

[i.phone4]

Boy I sure hope that Apple doesn't pull this "Limited Edition" nonsense with the White iPhone 4. Where few are sold to customers.

 

[Apollo 13]

because he's Pro Apple and never says anything bad about Apple.

 

[treyjustice]

Hopefully this is an indication there will be whites somewhere. and yes his is SO boring. My favorite review was engadgets..

 

[InvalidBassist]

They probably handed him one from the table of them at WWDC.

 

[dissdnt]

Bashing AT&T hehe. Man AT&T has major PR issues.. oh and network issues haha.

Why is Walt is popular? his reviews aren't even that good

 

[notblackmac]

Well it'd be nice to read reviews on the white iPhone 4 as well as the black one (fingerprints and scratches), and it's not like the white one is non-existent. It's just probably a little short supply for 600k+ people ready to jump the gun on getting there iPhone on launch day.

Same. I don't understand Walt's appeal.

 

[~~Hello~~]

It goes well with his beard.

He speaks to the older crowd, which I'd imagine is primarily the crowd that reads the WSJ?

Because he talks to us like we've 5 year olds...people like it! I hate him.

 

[Dsr1205]

its just a case, so they easily can make 100 of these white ones for special people. better question, why didn't engadget get fancy white one

 

[treyjustice]

Same. I don't understand Walt's appeal.

hes boring...

Why does Walt get a white one?

Simple, because he's old and probably won't be around much longer.
