What color iPhone are you going for? Black or white? I prefer the white version so I'm going white once more.

Black. Simple. Understated.

I'll take whichever they hand me.

My 3G was black, 3GS is white. Most likely my next will be white again, unless it looks hideous with a white faceplate. I'm on the fence about the white front based on the few leaked pics, I need to see more before I make my final decision.

White. It's so damn beautiful. Though I don't like how the front camera and the ambient light sensors stick out, makes it look like a bit like a Nokia N97. It's still gorgeous though, white and aluminum.. Reminds me of the G5 iMac. (MMMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmm...)

my 2G and 3G|s| are blk... i will shoot for wht this time

I've always had white, but for some reason the white as a faceplate looks so odd to me. So I'm still undecided. I'll likely get the white though. Once I see it in person, I'll probably like it more.

White on the face plate will make the contents harder to view in daylight because of the contrast on the bezel, which is presumably why Apple has traditionally used a black bezel on the white model. Maybe Apple has developed a new screen though that is siginificantly brighter / has a higher contrast ratio?

It also makes the sensors more visible, which takes away from some of the polish of the iPhone aesthetic. I still like the white appearance a lot though, and dirt/grease shows up too quickly on black.

I'm going Black to keep it cleaner. I would think the white will show all sorts of wear and tear and dirt marks much more than the black.
