Who's going to buy a PINK PRS 350?

I'm a guy and I buy pink gadgets. They don't get stolen.

Wonder if it works the same way as a guy walking a puppy? (Babe magnet?)

Holy Moly, what funny tastes here!
I have pre ordered a 350 in boring (but beautiful!) dark blue.
Here in Germany, a big book trader is selling out the Sony Readers 300, 505 and 600.
Prices are reduced very intensively. All 505s are sold out, some 600s are left.
And many many 300s. Though having a very good price.
There are only the pink ones to get!

The reason to choose the dark blue housing is not only my taste, it is to improve the contrasts on the screen! I often see, especially at the white Readers, the e-ink-screen looks dark, dirty und misty. But not so on dark devices.

Wishing you lots of fun with your "HannaMontana/Unicorn/HelloKitty-Readers"...

The reason that I didn't choose the dark blue is because it's not an option in the US. At this point I wouldn't want blue but if it had been an option when I made my order I would have been perfectly happy with the blue 350 and the blue zipper case for it.

This thread is funny! Ok I'm a woman, i bought the 300 in pink but actually i didnt like it, bec of the light pink plastic strip in the edges. that was yucks and gave it a cheap feel. so this round, i'm quite tempted by the new 350 and 650, but i'm staying away from pink bec there still seems to be that platicky looking thing on the side. anyway my two boys refuse to be caught dead with my pink 300 so i had to get a decalgirl skin.. i must tell them to read this thread.. real guys buy pink gadgets!

The silver 350 has the same plastic thing as the pink does. If you want metal, then you will need to go for the 650.

I'm a girl and I buy a lot of pink stuff for this very reason. btw, when I bought my pink 300, it was the only one left in the shop, compared to the 4 silver ones.

Thread is a bit old, but I just discovered it...too good !
I too ordered the dark blue one at sonystyle.de BECAUSE the pink was not available. Turns out the dark blue is not either (I've been waiting 7 days for a shipping notice, since it is officially "available / on stock" on the site since Sep 23rd, but nothing, and the hotline is clueless at best).

So I just cancelled my order and ordered a pink one from a US vendor instead (the $ / € exchange rate was a kick, I must say). I might end up having to pay a bit more (with taxes and fees) but not much, and it should be here next week (as opposed to "it'll leave the warehouse tomorrow" which I've been hearing from Sony for a week now...).

My mom has my 300 pink, she loves it, and many friends of hers liked it too and ended up buying it. So I would not say that pink is not working. It might not be in anymore in some months though...purple and orange are the new pink I heard

I had already orderd the pink 350 but decided to cancel my order and go for the red prs 650. I love pink and also ordered the pink cover with it..but then looking at pics I was kind of afraid it might be too pink. I also have the pink prs 300 and love that color, but it's not hot pink, more a darkish purple/pink, but another reason to cancel was because I didn't want to go back from 6 inch to 5 inch since I also have a prs 600 and love that size screen because I often read in medium or large font.

Anyway for some reason depending on how the light falls, the red PRS 650 sometimes almost looks a bit of pinkish too. Or I'm just color blind. :P
But I'm very happy with my red 650. As a compensation I did order a pink Mighty Bright Light as I opted for a standard sony cover this time instead of the lighted.

Just got my pink 350 today, it was literally delivered about 15 mins ago !!!!!

I am loving it, super cute and the colour is fabulous, more vibrant than the 300 pink, but still a purple/pink not sickly pink. I am mega happy with it, screen is fab, touch screen very responsive.
I also got the 650 in black but have to wait till Hubby comes home to check it as its my Xmas pressie so it has to be checked and put away, at least i have my girly one to get by till then, and my Kindle 3 of course

well, ....I forgot to tell I also ordered the red 650, which just arrived and is charging right now. Love the device, not the colour so much, should have gotten black I think. It is not the bluish-600 red, it is not the orangy-505 red, but something in between. Never mind though, my cover is black and conceals the whole frame of the reader anyway. Can't wait to play, but have to since I really want to start with a full battery this time

Now I am curious about the pink 350 I must say. The 650 feels quite small already (compared to the 600), how small (and how pink) is the 350 gonna be... ?

I've got a silver 350 on order from Dell, but I would have ordered a pink 350 if they had had it available. I'm tired of silver/black electronic devices.

LOL I'm the same, I actually am curious to know how pink the 350 will really be..well maybe someday if I got some money again and not have to spend it on Roy Orbison stuff, I might buy a 350 too, pink with pink cover. I am a sucker for pink..*grin*
