I can't answer that question, other than to say that it looks greenish to me in the photos as well. I'm not sure that the colour of the backlight matters to me all that much, but no, it doesn't look blue.

*However*, since you've held it, can I throw some questions at you?

1) How does it feel to hold? What is weight like? What about the balance?

2) Is it possible to use the hard buttons at the bottom without holding using both hands? In other words, can you hold it in one hand and operate the button with the thumb?
