Seriously, would the color of a device actually sway consumers to open their wallets and make a purchase? Apparently, T-Mobile thinks so by dipping the Samsung E870 into some Champagne paint to complement the existing Chic White, Valentine Pink and Chilli Blue colors. Everything else inside are still the same, including the 1.3 megapixel camera, an integrated MP3 playback functionality, GPRS and Bluetooth connectivity, a T-Flash card slot, and 80MB of built-in memory. The Samsung E870 remains a T-Mobile exclusive at time of publishing. I would purchase a cellphone based on the functions that I need, and not put off my purchase just because the color does not match my tie.
