I am a little vague on one thing that I would like to clear out. By "brown" do guys you refer to the purplish, dirty slight brown? it seems to be not really brown but something slightly different, for example the hero, tattoo and (I think) most other HTCs have this clean light brown look that I really like but the desire seems to be a little different, the one at the shop that I had a play with seems to definitely be maybe a darker, and also different shade of brown to the hero? also the metal casing that surrounds the screen is not silver like on the hero but it is a sort of purplish pinky sort of brown, is it supposed to be purplish? This is the only thing I am really not liking of its aesthetics since I am not a woman. I was originally opting for a hero as I love its angular, and linearly sharp sort of look with the completely flat screen and all rather than the bulgy bloated look of the desire. Anyway, I was able to look past the more feminine, curvy look of the desire, but could someone please tell me if the "brown" color is supposed to be a pinkish purple? are they all like this?
