mahuti:
If you have knowledge of bezier curve tools (Illustrator, Freehand) you can use the pen tool in illustrator to make very precise vector outlines which you can then make a selection out of. There are some other tracing tools that Photoshop has but I dont' like them and haven't used them enough to remember what they are off of the top of my head.

there's the same tool in photoshop. The mighty pen tool in photoshop has a feature very helpfull. it allows you to visualize where the curve will go. it' really helpfull.
with some experiment using this, jumping to illustrator is easiest.

DarkFOG:
Click on the white part with the magic wand and make sure to turn on anti-aliasing.  The press delete.

If you still have some white controur left with that then undo your changes and try instead upping the tolerance of the magic wand from 0 to something like 4, 8, 16 or even 32 before making the selection and deleting. Remember to leave the anti-aliasing on. If your image has a controur with a good contrast to the white background then you will get great result with that.

Frostillicus:
Also, if the image has a high enough contrast between the part you want to lose and the part you want to keep, you could try the magnetic lasso (has a little horshoe magnet on the icon).  There are some tolerance settings to mess with, and that works for some people.  

I almost always just use quick mask though.

AceTKK:
Just in case you aren't confused enough, you can also use the extract function on the image with the white background (edit->extract) to pull out the graphic you want and then just drop the layer onto the other image.
