From the special illumination effects on the keypad and side of the phone that interact with the display to the color accents to the sleek stainless steel finish the design appeals to me.

Color instantly identifies many things and now you can use it to identify who’s calling. The Color-Call™ Caller ID System let’s you assign a caller or group of callers to one of four colors.
You could program green for those you always want to talk to, and red for those you don’t. Purple could let you know that it’s your best friend or maybe blue could be for that special guy with the to-die-for eyes of the same hue.
Perhaps most importantly when the phone is ringing the system automacially scrolls between all of the color to alert you that the caller ID is unidentified or blocked because no one really wants to speak to telemarketers or psycho ex-friends.
Once again color adds another dimension to a familiar product. Just make sure I don’t find my number coded with your “do not answer” color.
