Thanks for the replies. So far, I guess white-iphone users really like their choice of white. Anyone switching to a black colored iphone? I guess I am trying to find reasons for why I should not get a white iphone.:D

I just got the white because i liked it..but all my friends with black ones show all the scratches on it..

it's like a car, it just shows more scratches (that are inevitable)
 
I had a black one but dropped it at Ocean Shores thinking some dumb ass who was playing in the ocean dropped it and said really loud. OH EM F GEE. no they didn't .. looking at the front of it. turned it over and it had my green apple back plate on it and it was my phone,LOL


a mess


but from the first day of buying the black iPhone I always told my self I should have got the white one.

dude what the hell does this post mean. I've sat here for 5 solid minutes trying to figure it out.
 
Lol Wut?

When I am eligible to upgrade on 12/19/09 I will be retiring my black 16g 3G and replacing it with a white 32g 3GS. I like the black but looking for a significant change. I also own a white 13" Macbook so it will make me more :cool: having two white Apple products. :D

It seems as if a lot more people have been going with white this time. I think a lot of it has to do with people who settled for the 8 gig 3G were forced to only have black and now that they have an option this time around, they want a change.

And another reason I think it's like that is because first time buys of iPhones are going to go with white since they have seen so many black iPhones mainly because the lowest price iPhone was only in black the first time around.

So I think that white 3GSs are going to sell more.
 
I started with a white, but then exchanged it for the black. I have no objections to a white iPhone in general if the overall color scheme were designed around it, but I couldn't get over how odd it looked with a black front, silver trim, and white back (very dissonant visually). Conversely, the black back blends in very well with the front. I do hate how scratches are a lot more visible on the black though.

The aluminum back on the 2G is still the best in my book. Better looking and scratch resistant to boot.
 
I have bought nothing but white iPhones. I like them a lot better than the black ones, and it makes it easier to tell which one is mine.
 
I keep mine in a case. I had the 3G white and I now have the 3GS white. I don't feel that it's any harder to keep looking nice. It's not like a car, you know. :)

Yea that's partly why I don't like tue white phone. It makes it look a litre weird. That's just my opinion.
 
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.

it was a joke referencing

I have the white 3G , and it's great! :D I'm surprised their hasn't been a post about how manly black is over white :rolleyes:

BUT

If you use it to look more "manly" then you honestly should have a pink one because real men wear pink.

we have to agree to disagree here, because you will be starting threads like this
