Black or White? Black or White.
If you stood in line for a chance to be one of the first people to get their hands on Apple (NSDQ: AAPL)’s next-generation iPhone 3G, then the decision to get a Black or White iPhone 3G was probably racking your single-tracked mind for a good while. Of course, that’s assuming you opted for the higher-capacity iPhone 3G 16GB, which is the only version to be available in White.
Sure, the White iPhone 3G is more exclusive and proves to the world that you’ve got an extra 8GB of storage under the shiny white (ceramic?) housing. But, is it the best fit for you?
Well, as some of you watching our live streaming broadcast probably already witnessed, both my significant other and I were debating which color to get. I had initially wanted to get White, but that changed. Somehow, she convinced me that Black was a better fit for me – Black would match my car, and it’s a more masculine color. Nevermind that she didn’t want us to both be rocking same-colored iPhone 3Gs. You gotta love how couples make decisions.
Anyway, seeing as how I have a Black iPhone 3G and Sarah has a White iPhone 3G, I thought our readers would like to see a back-to-back comparison of the iPhone 3G in both Black and White. Which handset is the best fit for you? Well, that’s entirely your decision, but hit up our gallery for a few comparison shots of both handsets side-by-side. You can see both colors in different lighting conditions (simulated) to get an idea for how they look in real life.
Oh, and noticed the included SIM card tray-tool. Gone are the days of an official paper-clip solution from Apple, we’re rockin’ purpose-made SIM tray-tools, folks!
I got the White 16GB.
I think your significant other gets the last laugh, for the same reason you mentioned first.
I think so too. But I’m used to it by now
lol I would not pic up any of them , I had choice the
much better and sexier smartphone Nokia E71..:)
LOL. My wife and I had the exact same conversation. “You should get black so I can get (a different color) white,” she said.
I just got the 16 GB Black. I think the black looks more classic and sleek. Black is also a nice frame color for movies and photos. My husband is bringing it home from the store as I type. I’m so excited!
i like the white because it is better to show off. i tried the black and the white and i prefer the white. I just like the white more than the black just because when people think of the white, they’re thinking of wow! 16gb! but when i think of black , i thought of something like 8GB crap..
