Re: PPC-6800 vs XV-6800.

OK this is getting a bit off topic...

And yes, I am offended when you guys call it 'gay'. What the hell. Its just a color and a design. Its not even girly.
How can a person's sexual preference be related to the design of a phone?
Perhaps you could say strange design. Its pretty pathetic that people refer to the word 'gay' for things they don't like.

Well, unfortunately the label 'gay' has found a group of people. Therefore, using that term in reference to a negative term is very offensive.


/end defensive comment.

I don't like the color either. I think it should have been black. If the Sprint version was black like the Alltel, that wold be better.
