Would you get a White iphone again?

My original 3G was white after seeing the fingerprints on the black in store. I also thought white was more exclusive (only came in 16gb) and looked a lot cleaner and unique. I sold it, got a Bold and then went back to an iPhone. I got black that time. Then sold it when the 3GS came and got white again. Never again will I go with the black (unless it's the only color left).

white > black
 
I hardly see any white iphones around my area so ii think it's nice to have one.. :D i got the white 3g and then switched to red after several cracks.... i regret it but im going to switch it to blue now and i went with a white 3gs... white > black IMO

I will always get a white one, or a dark blue one if they ever have it. I don't know where people are hearing that the white get dirty. Mine is still as as the new ones in the store. Granted, I wipe mine down every morning to get the fingerprints and whatever off, but that should not make a difference.

Thanks. I will probably end up getting a white one then. BTW, are you using a protective covering over your phone like the IS for Zagg or Bodyguardz?

I use the Air Jacket while out and about at school. The top and bottom are exposed and are still as white as a new one when compared at the Apple store.
But when I'm in my dorm and for the last 4 months, its been naked. It feels better naked.
 
I also love my White iPhone. My original was a White 3G and then I got a Black 3G-S just to try something different, but after having it for 2 weeks the black wasn't doing it for me so here I am ... went back and exchanged it for a White 3G-S. I'm actually glad I did cause everytime I looked at my old 3G when my wife was using it I kept on having regret.
 
i got white and enjoy it so far. I would really like a gunmetal finish and the stlye of the 3g and s but from the same material as the 2g. That phone took a beating and lasted all the way up till I........ long story :D

Same. I wouldn't buy a black one unless white was unavailable, permanently. White = classic Apple. Black = looks like a damn Blackberry. For that very reason: White > Black
 
White

I am a huge fan of the white iphone it is sexy sleek and gorgeous. But.

I like to use the Invisible shield and if you use it on a white phone and the put it in your pocket or carry case. The phone turns yellow. THe case is the problem not the phone the shield turns yellow from the case that you carry it is. Vary nice phone but with a downfall. It gets very dirty very easily.

Either way enjoy the phone. It is only a phone. not a life altering device. I lied it is a life altering device. I dont have a iPhone for a week and i am freaking out, I miss it. Either way find one you like and love it.

White will always make people look and gawk. Because they know it is an iPhone. Nothing looks as sexy as a white iPhone.
 
black is more manly than white so if you are a chick go ahead and get white




















(you just lost the game)
 
Have a white 3G, and occassionnaly wish I had gotten black. Black looks great in a white slider, but white looks pretty good in my brown slider. I'm a little annoyed about the micro-cracks, mostly because I'm concerned that it will hurt resale. If/when I get a 3GS, I'll prob go black and never go back, haha.
 
I had a Black iPhone 3G 16GB last year and switched to a white 32GB 3GS this year. So far, not regretting the change.

I do have an Invisible Shield on it, and yes, my first one got rather dingy despite my efforts to keep it clean. I ended up getting it exchanged through ZAGG's warranty, and applied a new one. So far so good, but if this happens again it will get annoying. I might have to see if BSE or Bodyguardz skins are any more durable and less prone to discoloration.
 
I think I am in the minority because I had a white 16gb 3G and went to a black 32gb 3GS. Glad I made the switch.

Hi everyone. My first iphone was the 3G is BLACK. I am planning on getting the 3GS phone in WHITE, but I am concerned about keeping it looking clean.

Now, for those of you that have a white iphone, would you get white again? If no...why not? Thanks.

Had white. It ended up seeming rather sterile as a color.

So back to black.


On a sidenote I'd rather have a burnt metallic copper color option (slightly darker than the Dodge Copperhead concept car)

agreed
 
Underwear; sheets; bar soap and (now) iPhones should always be white.

(You should learn though to drink your coffee black as you may not always be around sugar and cream.)
 
I had a white 3G, and now a white 3GS 32Gb. I will always get white as long as Apple offers it. It just seems to show fingerprints/smudges/scratches less than the black, and still seems a bit more unique/rare compared to the black, at least where i live (metro Atlanta). I still constantly get "is that a white iPhone!? I didn't even know they have a white one." It's like people without an iPhone don't even know white is a color choice.
 
I was going "white" all the way, until I started reading about these "cracks". I actually never noticed any "cracks" on my previous black iphone 3G. I am sure I probably had some, but just never noticed...and I am pretty picky also when it comes to the the appearance of my iphone (i know...i should get a life).

I am planning to go to my Apple store after work...right now, I am still leaning towards "white", simply b/c I haven't had one before.

your reasoning is rather surface on the idea that if a girl sees you with a white iphone then they're gonna turn away whereas if its a black one they're gonna be all over you. In that context, your reasoning is absolutely idiotic. If you use it to look more "manly" then you honestly should have a pink one because real men wear pink. I've got a white iphone and i love it had it on the 3g and now for the 3gs, unless they offer a matte black or matte silver or some type of gunmetal look i'm staying with the white.
