Super sly reader Ken had to get a back-ordered iPhone and when faced with the choice of black or white, 16 or 8, he chose wisely.

Just got my direct fulfillment order and seem to be no backups or backorder’s at the time. This is for a 16 gb White. others seem to be shipping out still in the quoted 5-7 days.

Our advice? Ask for a 16GB white when you’re put on back-order and enjoy your iPhone a few days early while the rest of the world stands in line outside the Rancho Fashion Mall getting skin cancer. Too manly for the white? You’re going to put the bugger in a case anyway, right?
