i'd be feeling mauve sensations if this were quad band.
I wouldn't carry a pink phone if they paid me. They sure aren't marketing it to me. Give me lime green or plum and they might have me thinking, but pink, come on! Not all of us "girls" are prissy.
That is the cutest phone!!!.. my daughters will want one when they see it...yipes!
I think it's cute, but I would have to see how much it would cost before I went and bought it. Oh and FYI liking Mauve or pink or what ever, does not make a girl prissy. I am not prissy at all I just happen to think it's a nice color.
'I wouldn't carry a pink phone if they paid me.'
Of couse yu wouldn't Princess. Pink would clash with your grungy Timberlands and plaid flannel workshirt. And I guess you'd have to carry it around in your lunch box. What a girly girl !
I have to agree that liking pink does not make you prissy, sure I like the color pink and I do like other colors as well, but do they offer purple? another one of my fav colors as well as teal? No they dont so I stick with my hot pink razr for now.
I agree with Amy, it is a very cute phone. I especially like the mauve it is the same color as my razr! Too cute!
hey and what's wrong with being "prissy" ?
The manufacturer seems to be trying to fool the public, presenting an older phone with a new model number while making no upgrades in its functionality. A simple color change doesn't warrant a new model number, dontcha think?
As for pink, why not? It's bizarrely funny that some people are making judgements about an entire human being based entirely upon their taste in phone colors!
All this over a phone and a color. Get real people, if only this were my only problem in life.
WOW, people getting pissy over the color of a phone. I'm with Amie, I'm not fond of the color pink because to me, it reminds me of a little girls room and it doesn't go well with my skin color. But, I wouldn't go as far as to say it's a prissy color. I'm a girly girl, but I also like to let my hair down and get dirty with the boys. ATM you had no reason to insult Amie like you did, grow up and react to a post like a mature adult.
Give me a break. Not all women like pink, or mauve for that matter. I love gadgets but heck give me silver or black like my Razr V3 and my iPod 30GB. Stop this insanity of 'pink' marketing aimed at the Barbie crowd! It's a neat phone but please, mauve? Stupid.
LOVE IT!!! I would want one if it were reasonable priced and YES PINK!!! I am PRISSY and happy 2 B :)Great looking phone but does need to B durable since I am not as Prissy in handling cell phones? OOPS :)What next, Chocalate phone, now PRISSY Pink, very feminine!!! Keep it up!!!
If you really want to appeal to women, make "fingernail friendly" keys. I think something soft and rubbery would keep fingernails from slipping off the keys.
Come on , PINK is for kidz, I want LIME GREEN PLEASE!!!
TYTYTY
The phone does look cute..but not very durable. I've got 3 kids and 2 of them on the very younger side. it doesn't look like it would stand up to being accidentally dropped. The color? well yes its a nice color..but i think other colors need to be marketed too..like blues and purples.. bright bold colors. And if you're going to 'upgrade' a model do more than change the color..ya i totally agree with that!
I'm just glad that my oldest isnt responsible or old enough to have a cell phone yet. this would be right up her alley. but at the looks of it..its probably way out of our affordibility range.
Why does it have to be pink? Im a girl and I hate pink? why cant it be blue or silver? they neeed to see that not all females are the same and like "pink"
'ATM you had no reason to insult Amie like you did, grow up and react to a post like a mature adult'
No one insulted anyone. Please follow your own prissy advice! ;-)
Small and pink makes it a girl phone.
I want a TEAL colored phone. Forget pink!
ATM WAS rude - since when do people judge others over a PHONE color? Calling people "prissy" is mean spirited as adults, just like it would be in first grade. As far as the colors...why not? I have the magenta Razr and really like it, but I would also love the option of a vivid teal. That new phone marketed as chocolate caught my eye too, lol! It's fun to have choices and people enjoy personalizing their things.
Sorry, my comments were aimed at ELLEN, not ATM - Atm was pretty funny since Ellen started it!
Thanks Kara ;-)....and what I said to Ellen and Denise was in jest, it was not meant to be taken seriously.
BTW, there is a Chocolate phone....from Verizon, let me see if I can find it.
Here is the Chocolate phone..http://www.verizonwireless.com/chocolate/
I don't like it. I like the flip phones. Silver is fine for me. I like the smallest phone by cingular. Thats all folks. Have a nice day. call me.
Thank you, Cheryl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love pink phones!!!!! I have the pink razor and am in love with all things PINK!!!! How cute and adorable. i am a girly girl and love it!!!

"TOUGH GIRL" version. When's THAT product release date?!! This pink phone is so demeaning.
Imagine using this thing in front of a male business client/co-worker.
PINK PHONE = COMPLETE LOSS OF CREDIBILITY
It's cute. I need to see more color in phones. I'm so sick of the black and silver. Is anyone else as sick of the black and silver as I am? They all look the same; nothing more than a black gadget
