I had a black SR but decided to switch to a white phone instead. The rep at att(I gave up paying attention to 99% of reps a long time ago) almost made it seem like white devices are more for females. What is that? Anyway, I'm a guy and prefer the white version. For some reason I really prefer how the buttons light up on the bottom compared to the black version and I also prefer the silver lining that surrounds the device.
On a side note, regarding the otter box case if you are considering the defender series make sure that you plan on leaving your phone in the case almost all of the time because it is a pain in the butt taking it off. Great at what it's supposed to do but really difficult to take off if you are in the mood to just enjoy your phone without the case.
