You decided to go Jay Z style, huh Kevin? (Jay also has a white Curve from ColorWare.) Very cool.

I've been flirting with sending my device off to CW for either the all black or all white treatment myself, but I just can't get over that price tag. That's damn expensive for a new paint job...

LOL!

Your ColorWare 83XX looks sooo AWESOME. Now, I am envy of you!

Please take my advice, you should get clear hardcase cover your colorware to protect from scratch or else. Keep your colorware as new.. ;)

Al - I decided a long time ago I would one day ColorWare up my Curve. I woulda beat Jay Z to the all white, but ya know, there's NO WAY I could have survived for weeks without my device.

Only a couple of days without my Curve with the RapidReturn service? Now that's a different story. It was like a mini-vacation from the BB (though not having BlackBerry Messenger is a complete pain in the butt) and I KNEW I would would have it back soon which made getting through my Curve's absence more tolerable.

Re: Cost. Definitely on the pricier side... but that's why Jermaine Dupri and Jay Z wrote that song "Money Ain't a Thang!" Watch the video below... it'll make the $129 cost seem more reasonable compared to a new Bentley or $100,000 bracelet..and I'd argue this is way cooler..LOL.. (I always listen to the song/watch the video before spending money on something that I really want but maybe don't need...it somehow makes me feel better! Warning - Bad Language in Video):

D'oh... sometimes I forget to read down the comments... never mind.

How did you get this since they don't service Canada????

 
 
Posted by Kevin Michaluk Thursday, Aug 14, 2008 1380 days ago

sometimes a CrackBerry Addict has to drive across the border for a visit :)

I love my new Curve but my wife got a Treo 800 because she couldn't get the Curve in Pink(only for Verizon, we are Sprint customers). Now I may have to give her my Curve and take her Treo. Man, I just got it!

hay the white looks nice, but my question is how good is the paint job. will it chip.

 
 
Posted by Anonymous Thursday, Aug 14, 2008 1380 days ago

How is the durability. Since the original case is colored thoughtout the plastic, how well does the new paint stick and what protection is there? I was seriously looking at having my 8820 done, but have some serious questions about the durability of the paint. And, if you have to cover it up with a skin, then what is the point.

Pimpin.

Seriously...for $6.99 I would of rather did this:

O.k. so the sides aren't white...well you are paying $6.99 remember?

 
 
Posted by risenONE Thursday, Aug 14, 2008 1380 days ago

I'm curious if the sides still have a rubbery feel to them or is the entire phone slick?

ColorWare RapidReturn will you ever show Canadians with the 8330 any love?

 
 
Posted by Abercrombie Thursday, Aug 14, 2008 1380 days ago

im so angry they dont offer the rapid return service for the 8330 :(

 
 
Posted by Snipes Thursday, Aug 14, 2008 1380 days ago

I'd rather paint it myself. I gave my 8310 a Flat White paint job, but I think a Glossy White would look better. I'll try it as soon as I get a new housing. :)

Awesome outcome!! Glad you have your Curve back...

(Does it void warranty?!)

 
 
Posted by windchime516 Thursday, Aug 14, 2008 1380 days ago

just went to check the decalgirl website...its a cool alternative (specially for those with budgetary constraints like me lol) ...cheap and removable in case you change your mind. But that paintjob by colorware is truly beautiful.

Very Nice Kevin.. Turned out well huh:)

 
 
Posted by jrau13 Thursday, Aug 14, 2008 1380 days ago

Looks pimp! If I go this route I would do the same color.

 
 
Posted by Meaghan Loren Thursday, Aug 14, 2008 1380 days ago

That would be tight with the black keys that come on the red curve!

 
 
Posted by Tobus Thursday, Aug 14, 2008 1379 days ago

Once again Verizon customers have another reason to complain,our curve 8330 are not included in the Rapid Return Service from Colarware this being the only reason I haven't sent mine yet,I can't go two weeks without it.....O'well I guess its the old Verizon silver for me for a while.

I HATE the logo they put on it. Why put THEIR LOGO on YOUR PHONE that you pay 130 bucks for? If I sent mine off, I would tell them not to put their ugly logo on my phone. It is seriously a very ugly logo.

Urgh!

Here are pics of two options. I had the ipod touch done a few months ago and have had the decal-girl sticker since January. The sticker is holding up well, though I do keep my pearl in a BB leather case. On the other hand, the colorware job cost so much that I keep the ipod in a Griffin clear plastic case.

you didn't get it branded with your CB! LOL!! When i clicked for more pics, i was expecting it! Irregardless it looks fantastic!

 
 
Posted by angiebutterfly Thursday, Aug 14, 2008 1379 days ago

Oooh, I wish I had money to burn to do this. I would get it done in either concord, mystique or cobalt. But ah well, I'm glad yours turned out so well.

So jealous! That looks great!

Kevin,
You actually pimped that iPhone on Crackberry?

 
 
Posted by saechavarry Friday, Aug 15, 2008 1379 days ago

Looks Nice!!!

Talked to a rep the other day and asked why no love for the 8330. They state that they cant stand verizon and they want to make their customers wait hahaha kidding but they have alot more housing for the 8310 and 8320 so after you submitt your order they just painted right then and by time your phone arrives (if you send it in) they can just undo your old slap on the new and send it back within one business day. Unfortunatly they dont have enough housings for the 8330. And if you buy a new they keep a limited supply of each of the phones on hand and It will take just as much time if you sent it in FYI (Kinda makes you wanna ditch Vz huh? lol).

How come the 8330 curve isnt available for the rapid return service?

 
 
Posted by theman2600 Saturday, Aug 16, 2008 1378 days ago

I assume if you have your BB painted that your warranty will be voided. Am I correct or wrong?

 
 
Posted by Sneakerholic070121 Saturday, Aug 16, 2008 1378 days ago

From what I understand at least from Vz that It will but CW offers warranty.

Yeap I want my silver BB to be White -- so thanks a lot for that information and for the warning heheh =o)

 
 
Posted by dlgus Saturday, Aug 16, 2008 1378 days ago

They did a beautiful job on that.....

 
 
Posted by NancyDrew Sunday, Aug 17, 2008 1377 days ago

They are so awesome! That looks sick.

 
 
Posted by Navan Sunday, Aug 17, 2008 1377 days ago

I would do this if they kept the mirror around the camera on the back the way it is! I hate the look of having it painted over...I'm thinking of getting another housing and taking it to an autoshop and painting it myself...that and the pain of having to drive across the border to have it done...

 
 
Posted by 23421 Sunday, Aug 17, 2008 1377 days ago

Just too much as cool as it looks..cost more than i paid for the phone..no thanks
