Actually, research shows that white text on a black background is less readable than black text on a white background. It takes longer to both read and comprehend.

Amazing, especially considering how easy it is to create an Android-based phone these days. Just pick your parts from the list of Open Handset Alliance members and call a factory in China to manufacture it. Practically anybody can be a phone manufacturer in almost no time at all, and for very little up front cost…
