For many people we encountered in line on launch day, the decision had already been steadfastly made: they’d be picking up a black iPhone 3G, and no one would sway them from their path (except maybe — maybe — if the black was sold out by the time their number got called). We’ve got to say, though — after spending a great deal of quality time with Bot. colors, the white definitely holds a special place in our hearts. It doesn’t show smudges as easily, it makes just a little bit bolder of a fashion statement, and it tells passers-by, “yo, I sprung for the 16GB model” since the 8GB is only available in black. Don’t get us wrong, the black’s just fine, but we figured we’d throw out some food for thought on the subject.

Yeah, we know pixel count doesn’t equal picture quality — but like it or not, it seems like 8 megapixels are poised to become the new 5 megapixels in the upper echelon of the cameraphone world this year. Samsung’s never a company to shy away from a challenge like that, and sure enough, details are emerging on a so-called i8510 smartphone that features S60 3rd Edition Feature Pack 1, 7.2Mbps HSDPA, FM radio, GPS, WiFi, and a whopping 16GB of internal storage — not to mention a microSD slot that can take you up to 24GB. Oh, and there’s the little matter of that camera, which features an dual LED flash and 120fps video capture at QVGA resolution. Add in DivX and DLNA certification, and we’re kind of at a loss to figure out what’s missing in this place. Boundless, unchecked hype, maybe? No word on a release Dat. in this place just yet.
