Males and females do have same number of chromosomes but the sex chromosomes are different. In male we have XY but in females we have XX.
The Y chromosome in males are smaller than that of X of females. I strongly believe that this additional part of female X chromosome codes the taste for 'SHOPPING' :-)..Thats why females are more interested in shopping than males (just kidding :-) )

Sorry ... your question is unclear.
First, by "male and female cells" do you mean, "cells in males and females", or do you mean "male and female *sex* cells (gametes)"?
And second, by "have the same chromosomes" do you mean "have the same number and type of chromosomes", or "have exactly the same chromosomes"?
You also don't specify what species (as the answer differs in other species) ... so I assume you mean humans.
In all mammals, including humans, cells in males have an X and Y chromosome, while cells in females have two X chromosomes. Otherwise their chromosomes are the same.
In sex cells (gametes), sperm cells from males can either have an X or a Y chromosome, while egg cells in females all have an X chromosome. Otherwise, their chromosomes are the same.

In humans normal male and female autosomal cells have identical chromosomes except males have 1 X and 1 Y while females have 2 X

Yes, except for sex chromosomes. Males have an X sex chromosome and a Y sex chromosome and females have 2 X sex chromosomes. Because of this, it is the male gamete that determines the sex of the offspring.

they do have same number of chromosomes which is 46 but different types of sex chromosomes
male = 44+XY
female = 44+XX
