Pimp Your BlackBerry With a Custom Paint Job!
Posted in News & Rumors on 22 Jan 2008 16:25 by James Falconer | 6 comments

Custom CrackBerry Paint Job for the BlackBerry CurveColorWare has setup their website to accept custom BlackBerry paint jobs! You can either send in your BlackBerry, or order a new BlackBerry (for $50-$100 over retail) sent to you direct with a fancy new paint job. Not bad!

ColorWare is even offering a standard 1 year warranty with the unlocked phones they sell, and an option to upgrade to a 2 year warranty for another $149. 

The ColorWare designer allows you to create custom colors for the Pearl, Curve, and 8800 Series. Click here to try out their designer. It's very cool, fun...and seems like a great way to customize your Berry.

For customizations, the base price is $99 for one color throughout the device. You can also choose colors for the sides, back and bottom for $15 each. The color palette to choose from includes 15 solid colors and 20 metallic colors. Pretty cool! 

I'm very tempted to send in my 8800 for a custom 'CrackBerry' theme, however I don't want to give up the Berry for any extended period of time. I'm not sure I could survive without having my Berry for three to four weeks. Maybe the better option in that case would be to go with a custom skin from MyTego.com

At any rate, check it out. ColorWare looks like an amazing one-of-a-kind way to customize your Berry!

I already sent my curve in to get painted! Have a couple more weeks before I get it back though.... I can't wait!

All these colors look great!! But who in the heck can send in their phone and be without it for 2,3,4 weeks??? I would love to have it done, but I have to have my phone on me for work. Bummer!!

SOOOOOOOOOOOOO Excited. I was just contemplating buying a Blackberry or not because you can only get a pink one from Verizon! Then I cam across this site and now my friend and I are BOTH getting the Pearl and sending them in together. If you can't NOT have a phone for a couple weeks though, my thought would be to just tough out 4 weeks with a crappy prepaid phone from your same service provider so you can move your SIM, or just use an old phone or a friends old one if they have the same provider! Just a thought, because i'm buying a Blackberry brand new and am just going to use my shitty phone til I get my custom one back!

$100 just to color it? I might as well just get it studded with turn around time 10 days.

Hello

I have just had my curve done by a new UK based company
They have not fully set up yet but it is a friend of a friends company so he done a preview piece for me.

Mutantcolour.com they said they will be accepting send ins from anywhere as ling as sender covers the postage cost

They did a first class job on my curve which they said was one of their first I am getting them to do my PS3 slim when it arrives
