Went to Best Buy and looked at the floor model for ATT and Sprint (they had both) - if you held it up and a certain angle and squinted, it could be interpreted as purple. Holding it normally, I think it looked gray-blue metallic. The buttons looked no different than the rest of the phone. Seems like a non-issue to me.
Well, they had dummy floor models at least. The ATT display had a printed out "correction" notice saying they didn't know when they would get actual phones to deliver. I think they had Sprint versions in stock.
I WAS concerned about this as well. Played with a Sprint one at Sams the other day and I had no issues with it. I definitely don't want a purple phone and I didn't think it looked purple at all. FWIW
