Most of us are shallow people. We say that appearance is of minor importance, but many of our significant purchases are influenced largely by looks. Given a choice between product A and product B, if A were 15% better than B but looked far less attractive, a majority would likely choose B. Consumers lusting after a white iPhone 4, ignoring the potential antenna problems with the device, can now waste $229 for a nearly complete kit that includes parts necessary to turn your black iPhone into white.
