Vodafone UK accidentally sells White iPhone 4, says it will officially drop "next week"
Adding to recent rumors of the White iPhone 4 possibly shipping on April 26 come more from Engadget, this time in the form of images from a Vodafone UK customer who was lucky enough to get their hands on one a little early. After Vodafone realized one had gotten loose, they sent out a notice to halt all sales of the White iPhone 4 until next week.
we've secured a few images of a 16GB model from a separate source that has seemingly made its way into the hands of one lucky customer (read: bloke) over in Britain [...] Voda sent out a notice to halt sale of these gems "until next week."
Apparently a Vodafone sales rep rang up the White iPhone 4 as a Black 16gb model in their point-of-sale system before the company told its employees not to sell units carrying the MC604B/A model number. The current UK 16gb Black iPhone 4 has a model number of MC603B/A, with the '4' presumably representing the difference in color for that capacity.
Apple has repeatedly gone on the record saying the White iPhone 4 would come out "this spring", but that window is quickly closing. With these new images could we actually be on the verge of seeing real unicorns White iPhone 4 units in-hand by the month's end?

Well overdue, but looks really nice.
It looks fantastic. I'll take one, please.
the white iphone 4 is irrelevant, why is everyone obsessing over it? it's only a different colour! i want my iphone 5 now!
I agree JeveStobs, I want my iPhone 5, could care less about and iPhone 4 being white. My iPhone ends up in a case anyways, being whatever color I want.
Steve Jobs was, and always will be, "First!"

Please correct me if I'm wrong. These white iPhone 4's are targeted for the female market????
They're targeted to the people that want their phone to match their overpriced MacBook and iMac.
Wrong. It's clearly targeted to the "White" market.
Well I would like a white iphone 4 if it comes out but lets pray there isn't this much of a delay with a white iphone 5.
I hope that apple sells them so people will shut up
I agree. Please shut up already.
I hope that apple sells them so people will shut up with all of the stupid rumors. I just want an iPhone, be it white or black.
Wow, your post makes mine look fleebe. More power to you!
The white iPhone is more popular with females. My wife has had a white conversion kit on her's for 1 year now so this is nothing big to me. I assume apple will have more colors with the iPhone 5. I saw this 1 on eBay, auction was at $800 yesterday. Lucky bastard!
Looks awesome,but I'm getting a black one.It's going in a case so I'm not worried about the color of the actual iphone4.
Awesome! Think I'll wait for iPhone 5 tho.
Proximity sensor is different than the conversion kits.
The 4 is not because of the colour! Its because it is the latest model and they are hardly going to sell the phone under the same code......I need sleep....
I don't know, my phone is always in a case. So, at the end of the day, nothing for me to really get excited about...
Now, my phone case in a new color...
This was a good write up but I think even more pictures would be helpful
