I selected neither because I like the black one pictured. However, if you didn't have the neither button, I would have selected purple.

I have a black phone already (k790a). I'll be switching the sim card back and forth, so I don't want two black phones.

In which case I think the purple is the better of the two choices.

I would go with the Black only because I like the color of the light on that one. The purple is alright.

Black and Silver goes with everything and it doesn't go out of style. Can't say much for the other colors. >_<"

Black or purple please. Those are the best two colours there. That white one is more an off white. And that off white is totally horrible. Nothing like the white white of the imacs of old.

I like the white.

It's clean and professional looking.

(By the way, what service is that phone on, can you get it unlocked, and how much?)

I'm also leaning a bit more towards the white. The purple seems like a rare cell phone colour though, and plus, its one of my husband's favourite colours. The only bit I don't like of the white are the copper accents. I can't decide.....

You can purchase this phone unlocked for about $240 CAD shipped. It's not a new phone though.. I believe it was released in Q1 of 2007 and the price back then was in the $400+ range. Here is where you can purchase the phone from: http://www.selectgsm.com/sony-ericsson-s500i-unlocked-phone-mobile-phone-pr-16557.html

The only drawback is the 2mp camera.. I'm currently using a 3.2mp on my phone and the pictures are not that great.

Well it's a phone and people shouldn't expect to take spectacular pictures with their phone in the first place.

Since you wrote White or Purple, I will go with the flow and say definitely white. Since you own a WHITE Macbook, they will make a good mixture don't you think? Haha!

To Tarek: I agree. But would it matter if both aren't the same white? Would that make things look out of place?
