White iPhone shouldn't get dirty, right?

[rgarjr]

If i were to get a 3G phone, it would be white.

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.

I've based my purchase of the white on the fact that my apple mouse has stayed white and has zero scratches and it a year and half old.

I have had the white a week today, and it has stayed very clean, but I am very good with my phones.

Here me out. Im only trying to help. I have no interest in the white 3Gs, but for those who do, check out the slider case made by incase. I had it for my 1st Gen and its the best case you can buy in my opinion and many others opinions.

I havent seen it yet for the 3G. They have the Protective case but not the slider. Anyway, they make them in white and it went get dirty nearly as fast as the stock shell of a 3G. Plus if it does, you remove it, clean it, replace it.

Im sure the Protective case is great too, but it has a pattern to it rather than a smooth finish. The slider was awesome because it had a piano black glossy surface, like the back of the 3G. Im tellin you, keep an eye out for the new slider if they make them. You wont be disappointed.

Bottom line of this thread:

IF YOU KEEP IT CLEAN, IT WILL STAY CLEAN

I second that!

Treat a product well and it'll last long. I should know, My previous phone was the crap moto SLVR. All my friends had one and they never took care of it. My friend has one and his center buttons are missing etc, i had mine for a year 6months and it looked brand new.

Buying the iphone regardless of colour comes down to what u wana do with the device, and the environment the phone will be in. Example: it would make no sense for a car mechanic to have a white iPhone much less an iphone at all since that job is very greasy, dirty with your hands contacting fluids and oils. The phone wouldnt last a chance.

My only pet peeve is that i find myself plucking fibers of thread from the SIM bay, after ive had the phone in my jeans pocket.

I keep mine in my jeans pocket all the time (front pocket), with no sign of lint. <eye-Fone knocks on wood>

Do you put it in your pocket with the dock port down, or with the SIM bay down?

I keep mine dock port down with the screen facing inward (against my leg).
