Girly? Are you serious?
No, the simple fact that it is white does not render it somehow "girly."

I think the white iPhone gets a bad rap as being "girly". To me, it's very classic Apple to have it in white (since you can't get aluminum yet, hah). Apple probably didn't design it specifically for the female market, nor the black specifically for the male market: it's just a phone, and the colors are black and white. *shrug* Just remember that the white is only in 16GB, that changed one of my friend's minds when he went to get the white.

I think it does look very girly. Add a hello kitty sticker and your set.
That said, what I dislike most about the white one is that it's not really white. It's got a white back. But the front is exactly the same as on the black one. So if your worried about smudges, you'll still be looking at them on your white iPhone. Unless of course you never look at the iPhone from the front.
They will both get smudges if you don't wash your hands. So you might as well get the one that looks better. Black all the way.

I looked at both and found the black more attractive. But once you get a nice case, the point can be moot. Get what makes you happy.

I agree. I was going to definitely get the black model but since I'll probably put a cover/case on it at the start, it doesn't matter. My 5G iPod has had a silicon case on it since I bought it new and it's practically mint. I'll just get whatever's available whenever I decide to stroll in and get one.

I have no lid upon my head. But if I did, you
could look iniside and see what's on my
mind.

I went to the Apple store yesterday with the intention of getting an 8GB iPhone. Once I was able to see and handle them in person I decided on the white version. Now I own the 16GB white iPhone and I'm very happy about my decision.

I was originally getting the black one because I didn't like how white looked in the pictures. When I saw one in person, I wound up picking white. Girly... whatever. I don't care what other people think! It matches the new R32 I drive! I just have it in a clear case.

While I didn't think is was girly at all, I opted for black after seeing the white one in person. Kinda looked cheesy to me. Maybe if the face surround was white too, but...

I dunno.
Saw a white one this morning and think it's gorgeous.
Not "girly" at all. (Then again, I'm pretty gender-secure and unconfused about latent sexual desires... )
The other point for me, though, is that if I have my phone laying around somewhere, it'll be a lot easier to find if it's white.

I liked the white one a lot, and might have decided to go with it, except I was concerned that it would be much more of a target for theft because there aren't really many white-backed phones of that shape. The black one would not call as much attention peeking out from my hand or out of a pocket, and I didn't like the idea of it being so conspicuous on the subway or on the street that I would hesitate to take it out and get less enjoyment out of it.
I also like that the black matches the black on the front, so it's just black and silver instead of white and black and silver.

I can't understand why they went with white instead of some other color. I think red or silver would have been better options.

The new back is supposed to offer better signal coverage, and a grey in it would look terrible. As for red ...

I like the white version of the iPhone. If I were to get one, I would definitely spring for the white 16GB.

I ended up getting the white iPhone 3G today! First time using an iPhone and have been using it for the past 4 hours straight customizing it and using the App Store and must say it's a blast, but a little concerned about the battery life.

When I was living in Singapore till late last year, I had a 3G Nokia N95 and even with heavy surfing/SMSing and video shooting, I wouldn't have to charge it more than a couple of times a week. With my first gen iPhone, I would have to charge it nightly so it was a big change.
That said, the 3G phone's battery time does seem to have increased, even with heavy usage.

Thought for sure I would like the black ones, reflecting my love for the black Macbooks. But once I went to the AT&T store, the white one just jumped out at me. So when I do upgrade (still using my first gen) it will be white .
This is one of those decisions you make when you look at one in person, not online.

I placed a Direct Fulfillment order for a white iPhone at my local AT&T store on Tuesday, and it came in today! They said it would take 7-21 days, so needless to say, I'm very impressed with the 3 days it took.
Anyway, I'm new to having an iPhone, but so far it's pretty amazing. I'm pretty stoked to learn all the ins and outs of it. The white is absolutely gorgeous, and the clarity of the screen just blows my mind.
Basically, I'm just awestruck by this little device and needed to share my excitement.

Think your enjoying it now? Spend a few hours at the App Store. You will never be the same.
p.s. Good Choice in color.

28, M, white iPhone 3G.
I changed my mind while waiting in-line last Friday. The front is black and the back is white, they play well.

something about the white doesn't look good. Its just seems weird. There is still black, on the front. Talk about 2 clashing colors. The black is more aesthetically appealing.

Saw it in person and my opinion of it is the same as I had seeing the pictures of it: fugly. If it were all white it might be better, but a white back with black/silver front looks stupid.

That would be so ugly. If you want red, get a red case.

It's all just a matter of preference. I personally think the white iPhone looks incredible; that's why I bought it.
