Default [Q]Black or White?



Any one that owns a white or black model can you give me some insight. Which one looks better overall? More prone to scratches? stuff like that.

The white one also seems more special for some reason but I absolutely hate how the frame around the screen is white, it looks like it doesn't match even the new white iphone4 is like that I wish it was more like the 3gs how the front was black.

I choose the white model, 2 main reasons, i believe that the white is more scratch proof (or at least less noticeable) and it will be probably a little more exclusive.

I had previously preordered the black one and when I went to the roadshow to collect it I saw the white version on display and found that it looks nicer.

Since I can't change the preordered colour there and then I'm using the black version now but if I had a chance to choose again I'll definitely take the white one.

The black version looks like any other black coloured phones but the white version gives me a feeling of higher quality and more premium looking. I think it's because the white coating is really very nicely done.

Though like all other white gadgets you'll have to be more careful in handling it as any scratches etc will be more obvious on the white surface.

If they had made the white model purely white (including screen borders), I might have considered it. I always find the contrast with the screen border vs the rest of the phone to be a bit strange.

Strange how this pic shows what you are talking about. I too would get it if it looked like this pic.
