If it's all plastic, I guess than the d-pad will start fading after heavy use? *faints*

the maroon red looks good to me too. especially with the black/grey keypad.
the blue one maybe not and makes it looks like a toy/kiddie phone.

once this comes out in stores, i'll surely go and try it out. i would definitely recommend for others to buy if the price is significantly lower than it's more advanced brother, the e71.
