<\/a><\/p>\n

If you had your sight set on pre-ordering an iPhone 4 in White with US network AT&T tomorrow, you may just be out of luck. <\/p>\n

Although the device will be available in White eventually (as announced last Monday by Apple)<\/em>, new information surfaced today which suggests AT&T intends to roll out iPhone 4 in Black first, with the White model set to be available later this summer. <\/p>\n

The evidence comes in the form of an internal e-mail<\/a> passed to an employee inside the network which @ModMyi claims to show the company’s future plans regarding the new device.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Apparently (see above image emailed to AT&T employees) the iPhone 4 will ONLY be available in black for pre-orders and launch. The initial lineup will be the 3G[S] in 8GB, and the black iPhone 4 at 16GB and 32GB.<\/p>\n

The white 16GB and 32GB iPhone 4 will be available “later this summer.” <\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I guess we’ll just have to wait and see if these rumors are true, come June 24th.<\/del><\/p>\n

[Update]<\/strong> – German telecoms network @DeutscheTelekom today confirmed via a tweet<\/a> that the iPhone 4 would only be available to pre-order in Black from 10AM (their time) tomorrow. – Thanks for letting us know @huxi.<\/p>\n

iPhone 4 in schwarz morgen ab 10 Uhr bei der #Telekom vorbestellbar.<\/p>\n

iPhone 4 in black preorder tomorrow from 10 clock in the # Telekom.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

[Update 2]<\/strong> – As Twitter user @Digeratii notes<\/a>, Apple may want exclusivity over the White models for a few weeks, initially.<\/p>\n

There’s a strong possibility that Apple is only selling white phones themselves right now, and outsourcing black ones.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

[Update 3]<\/strong> – It seems @DeutscheTelekom have also stated<\/a> pretty specifically that White models of iPhone 4 are not available.<\/p>\n

Wei\u00dfe Ger\u00e4te vorerst nicht lieferbar (iPhone 4).<\/p>\n

White first equipment not available (iPhone 4).<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
