iPhone 3Gs - decisions, decisions.

NickK · 15 Jul 2009 at 11:38

I've been looking (as some know) at iPhones for a while. In addition I've started developing software for the iPhone which I will continue todo (and hopefully make some money from it - enough to cover the cost of the phone).

Although 32GB is nice, I don't think I need all that (I have an 8GB nano which does for tunes).

So my decision is - iPhone 3Gs 16GB - black or white?

Anyone know which has the better resell price (just in case)?

I went for a white for a change.

Most iPhones you see are black.

Mine's black, but also covered in a case so you wouldn't really know it... but... white ones are for girlies, no?

Its personal preference, for me black every time.

white for me, but then im a woofter!

I got the white, purely because in my mind shiny black = tacky. If it was matte it would have been a different story.

I think the complete opposite, black is classy

not shiny black, matte black I agree is classy. Just look at those awful LG LCD TV's with the shiny black bevel...urgh.

Matte black would get greasy because of the natural oil transfer.

I'd be happy if they went back to Aluminium. Just stick the GPS antenna directly on the metal like they do with bezel. Job done!

Textured matte black plastic would be great. And feel a lot better, too.

Read my mind!

If my order is anything to go by you might get it by Friday. I've been hunting around shops in my area for days but they never seemed to have stock. Ordered it online direct and it came within 2 days
