Got the black version of the iP4S and now wish I had the white...I guess it's a grass is always greener on the other side of the fence thing. What they don't tell you is that it's astroturf on both sides

I had a black 4 and couldn't wait to get a white 4S...I'm seriously regretting it. It's not because I'm a dirty person, but I just like the sleekness of the black. Man, I even tried posted on my local CL to see if anyone would trade. I was willing to pay money! But alas, no. I've learned my lesson about white phones...stay black.

The thing with the white one is that it is very nice the way it is. Without a case. If you're a case fiend,
then you're gonna find cases that you don't like that go with white. Personally, I don't like to cover the
phone with a case and ruin its sleekness and feel. Only when I'm using it to wirelessly charge it.

It's funny, I started reading this thread a week ago or so, and today I found myself thinking about it while I was visiting my nearest Apple store. Went for the 4S, and by the time I got there I still hadn't decided what color it would be. Many comments here reflected my situation very well : always had black iPhones, always thought the white one was gorgeous. I realized that, for me, this was good. I like black better, I really do. In ANY other line of smartphones, white devices never appeal to me. But Apple's white iPhone rocks. I didn't think switching to white would made me appreciate it better than the black, but I wondered, what if it made me hate the white? For some obscure reason I didn't want that to happen. So I decided to keep it as a myth. By buying black, I was ensuring I'd always love the white too.

And now I sit here, knowing I made the right choice, but wondering how it would feel to have the white. This is equilibrium, peace of mind : nothing is changed under the retina sky.

Really... I must be crazy or something. I feel I'm not alone though. And still I like this better than relating color to gender... :D
