Is the Motorola V551 just for women?

Mar 8, 2005 8:35AM PST

Hey,
I'll might be picking up a cell phone within the next few days and I've had my eye on the Motorola V551 because it looks pretty good to me. But I ws wondering, Is this phone made for women? I am a male and don't really wanna get stuck with the female phone....if it's really noticable. Like the cover on it looks like it has a Bluish purplish grip or something around the front cover, and by some pictures it looks like when the phone is in the dark, the back light behind the keypad is a purple/pink light. Please tell me Im wrong cause this phone has nice features.

I got the manly slate-grey coloured model. Would not want to be seen with the girly blue one.
Hahaha - get a life!
