Comments on: Orange to turn pink at Xmas to favour young women

Who cares what colour it is?

The important thing should surely be whether or not it WORKs. The number of people I see daily struggling with overly complex phones suggests that things have Gone Too Far...

The new Orange is Pink!

Another fine example of just how desperate Orange are getting. I think they need to change their directorate - not their colour.

Purple Phone

The Purple phone is wonderful.... It just is.... Of course colour is important. You wouldn't drive a yellow car would you?

You're clearly not a woman....

...as they DO care what colour it is!

My other half (yes i work in IT and have a girlfriend, scary i admit..) is more obsessed with what the handset looks like and what colour it is than how straightforward it is to use, or how many ringtones it can have etc etc

Yet more evidence

That Orange are completely retarded as well providing a service even Virgin Rail would be ashamed of.

My contract ends next month with them. Any recommendations?

My advice: Let it.

Erm...

Most women I know aren't up themselves enough to find pink gadgets condescending. Usually there's an affection for such gadgets.

Poor phone anyway....

My other half has the LG shine and as a phone it's godawful, even she thinks so. It might be OK if the scroll wheel was actually any use, but it's just so unresponsive.
