White just begs to get dirty! I'll stick with black, kthx.

Is racist lol jk

White USED to be cool...before they started selling them in white lol

I think Black is better than white *YUCK*

I think white Berry's look nice and all but for personal use it's black! Or dark red or grey.

i can understand differnent colors for consumer devices like the curve or the pearl. but i thought the bold was susposed to be the high end bussiness model. when i was told to go out and get another blackberry it was for work so i went in and said i need a blackberry for work. they showed me two phones the 8800 and the 9700. i didnt care what apps it has or about media keys or what color options it had. i needed a work phone so i got the bold. why does blackberry need to make their buissness phone consumer friendly. that being said if they offered it in a dark red i'd upgrade.

Yuk. You'd have to be far too in touch with your feminin side to like a white Bold. The clue is in the name!

FOr everyone thinking white isn't for business don't forget that men aren't the only business power players any more. Women are now up in the club and they like white over black almost any day so RIM needs to appeal to both sexes, and all ages

I think the bolds in black are much more professional looking then the white ones. White is defiantly kid or non-professional individuals phone color and I need a professional phone.

I've always preferred the traditional/professional look of the Black BlackBerry (The name kind of suggests it lol) but the white looks REALLY nice too. I feel like I would get it dirty though lol If I hadn't already bought it in black, I may have taken a second to consider both choices.

Choices are always good, as long as RIM didn't waste any precious valuable research time to release this rather than working on OS6, webkit browser, etc.

the white bold is cool but i think i'll stick to the original black

I'd like a silver berry, but if not, give me a 9650 in white please

i think that RIM makes too big of a deal out of releasing the exact same phone in a different color

As much as I want my berry in a crazy color, I don't think I could take myself serious with a crazy colored phone. I miss the silver and burgundy colors of the 8330 WE. That silver was classy!

What an absolutely fascinating and compelling poll to undertake. I think you should hire 5000 people to go door to door to get these opinions 'live'. Is this all you people can come up with any longer on a site known for it's interesting, informative, and lively interactions between 'crackheads'? What a sorry state of affairs.

White is Nice.. Not going to Lie, But the 9700 in black is just so sexy, sleek, clean, sophisticated, and professional looking. The white is not bad itself, it looks more fun, but then again, I would do customize colorware for it instead of getting a white one.

Personally....I would really rather had RED!!!

I think I'd enjoy a white one.

I prefer my blackberry in white i like to be different

Color is the leas significant aspect of a phone -- make the darn thing pink with blue stripes for all I care. What RIM needs is some actual device innovation, and some improvements to its basic service (e.g. the lack of functionality in basic BIS imap) and software (the crappy browser). Oh, and it would also be nice if I didn't have to pull the battery every day or two...that's so Windows 95.

I still prefer my black 9700.

Make mine black. Black is sexy.

Black or white? In Subang Jaya, Malaysia; there is a retailer from china that has made full set front, back & battery covers available in many different colors and patterns for $47, including installation. The quality of the products is good. So, here; its not merely whether black or white as a fancy, but a huge choice for your fancy.

Black.

my old Pearl was white, and i LOVED it. I still have only seen two other ones... i love being different, and people would see it and say "wow, is that a WHITE BLACKbbery?" and all my friends called it the crackberry... because it was white like crack... and addictive

Why do people continue to keep saying the 9700 is the "high end business" model? Comparing it to the "cheap kiddy" Curve 8500, don't they have the same functionality? The differences would be in the camera and screen resolution and other physical characteristics? I'm pretty sure businessmen and woman don't really need to use the camera that much or having a super high resolution screen a neccesity. In conclusion. All these Blackberries have the same functions. They are all high end business phones to me. -_- the difference seem to be in your degree of PERSONAL use.

Black or white? Black of course!

But i think the 9700 looks better in black, i really wish it didnt have those dam chrome line inbetween the keys.. like the 8900, but w.e.

I have had my white Bold 9000 for about 2.5 months already. It doesn't get as dirty as you think. Unless your some kind of construction worker or something this phone doesnt get as dirty as you thing. With a white phone you tend to treat it differently in terms of putting it certain places and letting people use it. Since I have had this phone it hasn't dropped and looks brand new still (Knock on wood). When people see it they are like "Wtf A white blackberry, where'd you get it?" haha its like a precious gem once you take care of it, it will do its job for you

I usually like my phones like my women, but I'm Feeling a lil Jungle Fever over here

Anybody have any ideas about when Rogers might be getting this?? REALLY want it!! :)

Red would be nice, like when Rogers or was it AT&T featured the red 8320 curve! awesome ! but white is not my colour !

I currently have a Black Blackberry, with a White Incipio Feather Case on it and I think I prefer the Black and White case contrast. All the white on the keys looks very Feminine in my opinion, but a little white around the back it fly! LOL
