I have a white iPhone 3G and haven't had any problems with dirt. It has to do with how well you take care of it. I'm sure some of these rumors aren't true about yellow discoloration and things of that sort. Treat it like a baby and it should be just as good as the black.

I went and looked at both colors at the Apple Store each time I went in looking for the iPhone 3G and they had both models out on their demo table. Now as many people that have been playing with those, they both look new, although the black did have the visible fingerprints. Then when I went to pick mine up and when I went to order it an the AT&T store, they had one white and one black floor sample and they both looked nice. As many people that have been touching those phones, they still looked good.

I'm not worried because I treat mine like it's a baby. If you wanted to, you could always put any case or InvisibleShield/Body Guardz (or any other similar brand) on there to make you feel more comfortable.

I got the white for several reasons, the main one was because I got sick of wiping the fingerprints off the screen on my V1 iPhone and the thought of having to do not only the front, but the back too(if I got the black) just made me lose interest quickly in the black model. Other reaons are the black could be mistaken for the 8GB to people in public and instead of having people come up an ask me why I didn't get the extra memory, I wanted it to be known so it didn't have to be asked. In other words, if you have black, it's going to be assumed that it is the 8GB to many people. Also, if you scratch the black it will be more noticeable in my opinion. Plus, I just think the white is []D [] []V[] []D [] []\[]. I've had a lot of black phones before, why not mix it up.
