Black vs White iPhone..

silentkilla92 · 12th February 2009, 7:18 PM

I'm a 17 year old guy, I broke my iPhone and I'm tossing up between a 16GB Black iPhone and a 16GB White iPhone..

Which COLOUR would you rather?

I'm thinking white looks more stylish than black, but perhaps the white might look a bit girly?.. If any guys have the white iPhone, have they ever encountered anyone thinking their phone looks girly?..

Also, I'll be putting a BestSkinsEver skin on it.. Do they look the same on white iPhones as they do on black ones?.. (My old black iPhone had a BSE skin on it and noone could tell it was there unless I told them..)

Thanks

silentkilla92 · 12th February 2009, 7:41 PM

Also, does one colour show fingerprints more than the other?..

Can't really sugar coat it sorry!

black if you're a guy
white if you're a girl

Dude, I'm a guy and like the white over the black.
If I was to get an iPhone (which has a near-0% probability of happening) I'd go white.

But all in all, depends on personal prefference.

Who cares what people think of your phone? I'm genuinely puzzled. It's your phone, not theirs.

+1 for white

Hey, one could ask how a 16-year-old could afford a Sony Ericsson X1a outright.

Obviously he can afford it.

That kinda puzzles me too. I generally lean towards the 'girlier' colours because they generally look nicer. My Sony Ericsson W850i was white.. Looked truckloads better than black IMO.

I went white, looks nicer and more like an Apple product to me.

dav3 · 13th February 2009, 11:28 AM

its an apple product, its girly no matter what you choose

Black = Scratches are very easy to see
White = Scratches are hard to see

This is just personal preference.

I couldn't toss up between a white or black iphone becuase i only had the cash for a 8GB one, so i got black.

However, i just got an MSI wind, and i could chose black, white or a few other colors (though i put it down to black and white)

The only issue i have is that White seems to be more of a apple trademark color, that you expect on an apple product.
Although black iphones are more recognizable, the general shape of one regardless is what makes it so, and being white it could possibly be more attractive to a thieves eyes.

i dunno, i like the color white over black, but i chose black as it stands out less and seems better for transport, where'as i find white maybe good for a stylish home deal.
white has a futuristic look to it imo.
