    I have the hot pink Motorola Razr. I always get asked why I have a pink Razr and not a manly color like black or blue. I always ask them back who defined which colors are men's and which are women's...

    I'm secure in my masculinity and proud to have a pink phone because T-mobile only offers the silver and pink ones. I thought the silver looked ugly so I got pink. Nothing else to it.

    I love how masculine they try to make the guy in the commercials that is using the pink laptop- he's lifting weights by a pool next to 2 bikini-clad women. And the pink still overpowers so that all the average person will notice in those few seconds is a guy with a pink laptop.

    Could detract thieves. Who on earth would buy that pink notebook from them? Maybe add some hello kitty stickers for good measure.

    Yup. If anyone tries to run off with it, people will notice. Not only is it unusual to have a colored laptop, but the pink is rather eyecatching.

    i think it could be a great conversation starter.... just think: ur somewhere using ur plain,dull, normal looking laptop.... then suddenly, a guy walks in, sits somewhere near ya and pulls out a flamingo pink notebook.... i know i'd be curious in his choice of color :)

    i agree w/ that and yeah, you'd have to be secure as fort knox w/ ur masculinity to rock a pink lappy.... riffjaff, i think its pretty damn cool u have the pink razr... i once read somewhere that way back when, pink was the color for boys and blue was the color for girls so it does make u wonder how the roles were reversed :err:

    Yeah, pink certainly gets you noticed.

    It's great amongst peers. That whole "totally secure" persona...

    Not so much with religious parents of a male child.
