    Cyan Lumia 900: Masculine Enough?

    I've been browsing pictures of the 900, and after a debate with my sisters, I'm in a bit of a kerfuffle. They say the cyan version of the 900 is too "effeminate" for me, a male, to use, while I disagree. I like the distinctive coloring and I think it isn't really gender specific. So, men of WinSource forums, is the 900 too "effeminate" to use in public?

    I would wear my cyan Lumia 900 in public with abandon, but I want to know what other people think!

    I make it a point to wear bright, neon colors at all times. I rock a pink shirt like it's nobody's business.

    Fearless! I have a neon yellow that I'd wear more if it didn't distract drivers and cause instantaneous crashing

    I think the bright Cyan of the Lumia screams "I'm sexy and I know it." Nothing wrong with that.

    I agree, I'm really favoring the cyan.

    Yeah nothing wrong with Cyan! I could see how you would think that originally but with how sexy the lumia 900 is with the cyan, no problem!

    Poll seems to think that cyan is a manly enough color. Keep the votes coming!

    Here is a thing: lets say you love Cyan but won't get it because you are afraid of other people.

    Now, do you really think that when you are 90 years old, you will give a crap what people though about you 60-70 years ago? No.

    Do you think that you will feel bad because you did not live your life on your own terms and instead, relied on other people? Yes.

    You live only once, might as well enjoy the it.

    This is pretty deep! I will get the cyan, if I get one! I assume you are getting the cyan as well?

    the color you choose wouldn't matter. the Nokia Lumia 900 is a freaking awesome phone! I got mine in black and my wife's cyan, but they both got too much attention when we were at a party on Easter Sunday.

    I've heard the cyan tends to attract more people, but I don't think I'd mind the added attention of having such a good looking device

    I would go for the cyan solely for the ability to sell it to friends and family. It helps that cyan is my favorite color.

    I am still debating between Cyan and White and since I am from Europe, it's still a long wait

    White is glossy, so I'd go with the matte cyan. Your call though!

    I am hoping to see the Red version though, saw Lumia 800 and it would kind of match my clothes, gym bag and pretty much everything else

    Red/Black

    The cyan lumia 800 I saw definitely wasn't feminine looking! I thought it looked it in pictures, but not in person

    AT&T's promotional shots make it appear more cyan and definitely more glossy than it actually appears

    I plan on holding one myself this weekend. And with the new rebate to make it free I could warrant buying out of my contract (I've only got about 3 months left) for it.
