    That's the funniest thing I've read all day! :lmao:

    I'm confused? Is Engadget related to T-Mobile, I mean, they have the same color? T-Mobile, Engadget, Engadget, T-Mobile, :confused::confused::confused: Oh why such confusion? How can this be??? Help us T-Mobile! Please fix this magenta disaster! I can't cope with such color confusion! :googlyeye Oh, the humanity...

    :)rolleyes:)

    I sure the hope the University of Florida sues AT&T for using orange and blue. The Gators had those colors first, and I wouldn't want anyone to think that my alma mater was affiliated with AT&T! :D

    Good one, Anthro! :lmao: DT is being ridiculous regarding this color issue. I would think they have better things to do, like getting their :censored: 3G service up and running already, but apparently not...

    How about ING Direct (the online bank) and the detergent Tide? They both use orange and blue and nobody complains.

    Well, my alma mater & WirelessAdvisor has the same colors and I like it :p.

    IMHO, most of these are marketing ploys, it brings focus to both parties and people start paying attention when one of the names are mentioned.

    Phonescoop and Phonearena are supporting Engadget by coloring their main banners "magenta". I don't know if this is just an April Fool's thing or not, but it's still pretty cool.

    I noticed that too when I went to their website looking for their April Fool's stuff...which apparently wasn't on their agenda this year :(
