I made a big mistake today. I bought a black iPhone 3G. My son told me to buy white. I thought white would look lame, but he was right (he bought a white one). The white doesn’t show dirt the way the black one does. Damn, it’s a schmutz attractor!
Learn from my mistake: go for white.
Looked at both in the store, and the white one was already showing dirt along the cracks and seams. Both looked and felt… well, cheap. Which isn’t a word one normally uses with Apple products.
White or black, I’m putting a case on it anyway.

Hmm… Apparently there were no White ones on the uk I was third in line at the Scottish flagship store and they only had black. Looks like they had enough for the demand though.

So how does it run anyway? I found your blog when I was searching for “iphone” lol. At least you learned that your son has common sense lol

“The white doesn’t show dirt the way the black one does.”
Correct! It shows dirt in *different* ways than the black one does. It’s *white*, for starters.

I heard that you cut in line today to get your iPhone. Shame on you Robert! SHAME!

When I got into the store they had already sold out of black, so I bought a white one.

I was one of the first in line at the AT&T store in NC. They *only* had white 16GB. I was really bummed, but after waiting over night, I wasn’t going to leave without something. Thanks for making me feel better about getting the white!

I’ve waited over a year for my first iPhone, arrived at the local AT&T Store at 10 minutes till 8 - they only had 20 phones, I was number 14 in line, while there I talked myself into getting my daughter one also (next to the last one). We both got the 16GB. She got black and I got white so we could tell them apart. I really didn’t want the white one but it looks great - everyone wants to touch and play with them. Favorite toy for BOTH of us (and I’ve had several phones and iPods!) - gave my roommate my red Palm Treo and now he’s happy!

I recommend choosing none over black or white. It seems many people are afflicted by the Garbage Pail Kids Phenomenon:

Evidently, people have a very strange addiction to hi-tech hand-held gadgets.
