Pink phones line up for action

To be honest, I do see pink cellphones - in fact pink gadgets in general - as a rather shameless and vapid attempt to cash in on the female market (and in doing so presume in rather a sexist way that all women are interested in is pretty colours rather than what a handset can do), but the damn things continue to sell. Crave have decided to look beyond the dubious intentions and put together a list of the top ten pink handsets around; if anything, I suppose it’s interesting to see the different shades available.


A lot of the time, manufacturers seem to bring out new colours (pink being a common one, now) to refresh flagging sales of an ageing handset (Motorola, I’m particularly looking at you). If you’re looking for a gift for a wife, daughter or mistress, I’d find out exactly what she plans on doing with the cellphone before settling on the one that closest matches her eyeshadow; your gift could backfire if she discovers it lacks a 5-megapixel camera, HSDPA or WiFi!
