“This page is not live at the moment, it was built at the same time as the iPhone black page so that we have it ready when and should the time come to launch white. For now, it’s a hidden page that’s inactive.”

It seems Apple is preparing an official announcement on the White iPhone 4 on April 26th. Three just acted way before hand before Apple ready for it. The question right now is what’s going to happen for those who already pre-order the handset before Three pulled it?
