    For those of you that own, or have seen the Pink Inspiron... would you say the pink is similar to the pink cell phones? Like the SLVR and the Razr? You know the bright metallic pink phones (minus the Verizon pink razr, theirs is a little different from the rest).

    I'm ordering my Inspiron today. I'm stuck between red and pink.

    I had a pink 1520 that I sent back because of a yellowish screen.
    I've never seen a photo of the pink that looks the way it does in real life.
    It does look different depending on the light -- sometimes orangish, sometimes slightly bluish, and it's generally darker than pictured.

    It's a very aggravating color to try to photograph -- oranger than the bottom picture here

    Not as orange as this

    A shade less intense in color than either of them.

    thanks!!! I'm ordering it in the morning because I'm still unsure. More than likely I will get pink because it's my favorite color, but the black and green look so good too.

    Remember when life was simple and they only had silver? lol

    Thanks for looking out!

    I did see the coupon, and used it. It saved me a little over a $100. Dell currently takes $264 off your purchase, but this coupon over-rided it. Too bad they don't let you combine!
