sold my black and bought the white today, lost very little reselling it

the screen is diff than my previous ip4 black, with warmer color and color pics look so much richer and more depth.
apple has improved the display for the newer ip4 (even for black), its like those cheaper laptop screen compared to the more expensive one.
some may not like the warmer color though.

no prob with light leaking when taking pics, macro closeup with flash on still looks good.

i bought mine at cineleisure mall opposite Adidas shop outright as long as you are MAXIS customer. limited stock there though. better go KLCC i advised.
finally my rebel capsule white case doesn't look cacat anymore with now everything pure white (matches my white iPad too)

White is the new Black, again

for those who like their ip4 without casing, if you ever get small scratches it's not as noticeable because the whole thing is white.

RM99 last year at the IT store next to popular in ikano. it's more than 7 month now, the white doesn't changed a bit which is very good for a white TPU case. it's a bit thick but I don't mind cause I like the design very much and the nice grip. it protects the phone entirely even with caps for headset and charger openings (so no more dusts prob). comes with 2 good screen protectors too. very light too.

the white iPhone 4 is probably the longest tested and improved same device by apple or any other companies (almost a year!). I guess most problems of initial manufacturing process been resolved overall.

here my $0.02 advice for those who is thinking of buying it (anyone have any useful points can help expand this list)

BUY IT IF:
1. You've been waiting to own an iPhone for years. There won't be an iPhone 5 in 2 months, earliest end of the year. WDCC in June will be about OSX Lion and iOS 5. Unless you can wait another 6+month, need 8MP camera or larger screen, this is the best time to buy.
2. You already have iPhone 4 Black for more than 6 months. If it is still in good condition, you can easily resell it with minimal lost. You will get a nice new phone with battery charge cycles reset back to zero, nice white color (if you like white, that is), better future resell value, improved screen rgb etc.
3. You seldom upgrade your phone, 2-3 years once. iPhone 4 with retina display compared to 3GS is a major leap in design and performance and next iPhone will have moderate upgrade. most importantly like any other Apple devices, you can upgrade to newer iOS day one it is available for the next few years.

DO NOT BUY IF:
1. You don't know the 'way' to do iPhone Bluetooth LOL
2. You recently bought iPhone 4. You don't need a new phone to replace a new phone. no point and waste time. unless you suddenly developed an aversion to black color. otherwise, wait for end of this year or early next year and stop reading this thread
3.

personally i hate matte or anti-glare sp, they makes the screen looks horrible even the best one like POWERSUPPORT..I rather live with wiping the screen more often than applying them.

I use POWERSUPPORT because I have tested manyl! I can tell you why it costs so much more and why it worths it:

1. Zero wave or rainbow bands ( don't think those $80 ones are free from this problem, they are not!)
2. Super easy to wipe away fingerprint
3. Thicker and more scratch resistant, my old 3GS one still looks great.

On the bubble part, you have to be super accurate when applying it, not the problem with case or sp

a review i found (use translation)

it got special UV coat protection, one of the reason it took them 10 months to perfect this. try google up Schiller UV iPhone 4 white to get the right info

no other companies has that kind of fanatical QC, thanks to the perfectionist CEO

if you have never ever drop your phone before in your entire life, go naked, otherwise, minimum Apple white bumper. if you dont like apple case, there are truck load of alternatives out there, choose one to protect all the edges. if you intend to resell in future and love sp to be invisible as much as possible get POWERSUPPORT front back SP (crystal not matte) if money is concern and you don't mind lousier looking screen get al cheapo sp at pasar malam. again, never ever buy matte or antiglare sp, trust me.

MACHINES got the front and back version.
If you are not familiar with applying sp, good idea to get those folks from MACHINES who apply sp for 100 iphone a day to do it. and if they did wrongly they will get a new one free of charge. the last thing you want is to damage a RM100+ sp and never ask a shop staff from places who has no proper place to apply for you because I've seen one yesterday at the IT center in Ikano apply for this lady right at the cash counter and did a very bad job with fluff and stuff all stuck, not aligned properly

it will be really helpful and useful for everyone if we do research a bit before posting misinformation. if not sure then refrain from adding to the thread
