Like most normal men, my sexuality is not tied to the color of my cell phone. That said, I don't have an iphone. I have a Samsung Galaxy SII.

What you should do is get a white iphone5... then one of those huge ass otterbox cases that cover the shit out of it and adds about .5lbs of weight to it. That's manly.

I had a black 3gs and did not like the overall look of it. I preferred the look of the original iphone in black. My wife had an iphone 4 in black and I still did not like the look of it. I therefore went with the white one when I got a 4S. It looks marginally better but still not great. They should make them in brushed steel.

If give a damn if others think your manly or not based on the color of you phone you have bigger issues.

Who would possibly care what sense of style their phone offered? Well, I guess we're talking iphone users here... so nevermind.

Get what you want

If you are manly a white phone wouldn't matter, because nothing a manly man owns stays white for long. Things get dirty, and manly men don't care.

Actually, that's what I did. Because I'm a klutz.

Well, an iPhone 4, but still.

With iphone 5 coming, I will be getting the 64GB one unsubsidized just for the heck of it. Are the white iphones for girls? Because I plan to get one in that color for sure.

^ this.
White electronics just look bad. Really really bad. And they actually look worse at they age.

My netbook's white, and I hate the color. I got it at a good discount used, but if I were buying new, it wouldn't be white.

I have a white iphone. I originally got a 3GS white because it was the only color the store had. People would give me shit about having a white one.

So when I upgraded I went ahead and got another white one. I now use it as a moron test. If you give me crap about the color of my phone, then I immediately know you are a fucking moron.

I had a white credit/id card case on my black GS2. Nobody thought I was less of a man for having a white case, and everybody thought it was cool because I had my DL and CC in it.
