AT&T Says iPhone 4 to Be Initially Available Only in Black? [Updated]

ModMyi reports that it has received a purported internal AT&T memo from a source revealing that the carrier will only be taking pre-orders for black iPhone 4 models, with white models not set to become available until "later this summer".
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.
The white 16GB and 32GB iPhone 4 will be available "later this summer."
Apple is set to begin taking pre-orders for iPhone 4 tomorrow morning, but has not specified when its site will go live to accept sales.
Update: German site Macerkopf.de is reporting that Deutsche Telecom will also only be offering iPhone 4 in black at launch.

That doesn't even make any sense. I can't believe people are still posting stuff like this.

I hope this is At&t only, but I sense that it is not.
I'm getting black, but the misses planned on getting white.

If it's true, I guess it makes it an easy decision for a lot of people about which model to get! :o

If this is true how many of you will get black if you wanted white?
My wife will be. I think she would rather get an iPhone since she has waited 3 years for one than have to wait to get a white one.
