Verizon giving Samsung Gleam a dash of purple

In case the original Gleam wasn't... shall we say, gleamy enough, perhaps a violet-ification (pardon the grossly abused suffix) of the phone's exterior is just what the doctor ordered. The midrange flip for Verizon relaunches in purple come the 27th of this month for $99.99 on contract after rebates. Tough call with the equally loud pink Centro for Sprint coming in at the same price point, we'd say.

What part of "we want blue" did they not understand? If marketing did their job and simply read "consumer" feedback on public forums (simple google anyone?), they'd see people (like myself) were skipping the initial model release for a blue one.

The problem is you are trying to implement logic into your line of thinking and logic rarely walks hand in hand with Verizon's actions
