Generally like white better...

I think we turned this thread racist.

Pretty sure I'm going with white. I've had black for all my other iPhones. I think the two tone back looks good unlike a lot of other people. Here's a video demo of a guy playing with the white one.

iPhone 5 (white) Hands on - YouTube

I have a white 4s now & I like it but I think the new black is sweet. Not sure if the black bezel is less scratch resistant than the silver or not.

Some people have been saying it may be due to the aluminum being anodized (painted). They are thinking the original silver color may show if the back gets scratched up. I guess no one knows until there's a scratch test video posted. I'm hoping its the same as the iPad back. The black does look cooler though.

Edit: For those interested, go to Apple's site and watch the video on the iPhone. Around the 5 minute mark they show the "cutting" process for the aluminum on a black iPhone. Ouch...one drop and you're screwed. Looks beautiful but I don't know if I can handle that.

Granted, most of you guys will probably have an otterbox or back case on it anyways so it may not be that big of deal.

Yes it's a lot smaller.

It's pretty slick, but the bad thing is you will have to buy the $30 adapter in order to keep using your iPhone 5 with radio, car charger, etc. But as CC said, there will be a bunch of after market adapters for $5 in a couple of weeks. I'd just wait for those to come out if you can.

thanks for the pic and comments

That was good stuff. I like the people holding their own 4s and comparing.

Verizon, Sprint iPhone 5s: No cellular data while talking

September 13, 2012

iPhone Making an eleventh-hour disclosure just before pre-orders start, Verizon and Sprint have confirmed that their CDMA version of the iPhone 5 will not be able to use cellular data services while making telephone calls—a limitation that previously existed for the iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S, but was believed to have been remedied for the iPhone 5. According to reports, an additional antenna would have been needed to support simultaneous phone calling and data for Verizon’s and Sprint’s CDMA networks, but was not included in the new iPhone.


As was the case before, AT&T users will still be able to access cellular data and calling functionality simultaneously with the iPhone 5. However, the iPhone 5 will fall back to HSPA+ (“4G”) speeds for data during phone calls. Despite the cellular data limitations, all versions of the iPhone 5 will be able to access available Wi-Fi networks for data during cellular phone calls. [via The Verge]

I think, I'm going with a 4s, for $99 bucks this weekend

You'll never go back...

Well known on all models up to now. I'm a Sprint customer and it's never bothered me.

I think it only matters to niche segments of iPhone consumers. A friend of mine is a higher-up at a Mac authorized dealer here in Nashville, and is constantly on speaker with customers and clients, needing to look things up. He says he could never give up that functionality.

Myself on the other hand, never been an issue.

I think it's definitely one of those features that AT&T customers take for granted. I love it. Especially if I'm on the phone with my woman and still want to check out VN. Put her on speaker and surf away.
