I'm excited to see what they will look like. I had a sidekick done by them and it came out perfect.

luckykelleyk · 12-27-2007, 11:13 PM

yes, I am TOTALLY doing this! The only drawback is that I have to be without my bb for who knows how long

starsrblind · **OS:** 4.5.0.44

If I did it, I would buy a cheap Pearl or 8700 or something off ebay to use while I waited.

koleary19067 · **OS:** 4.7.0.151

I could not let my bb go for even a day.

starsrblind · **OS:** 4.5.0.44

Does anyone know if they will be doing just customizations on sent in bb's, or can you buy a new one from them, like they do with the iPhone?

luckykelleyk · 12-28-2007, 08:43 PM

Yeah, its gonna be rough. I may break down and buy a temp phone (and return it after 14 days) I can't wait!

surge8320 · 12-29-2007, 03:53 AM

tempting

PPCMD · 12-30-2007, 02:40 PM

I might jump on this and send my 8310 out first then my 8820 or vice versa.

luckykelleyk · 01:23 AM

Im so excited! I hope they have it up on the site by tomorrow morning, not midnight tomorrow....

btw, there is a thread on HOFO where people have posted pics of their colorwared iphones, the final product looks VERY nice!

Its not active on their site yet. I guess they just haven't flipped the switch.

starsrblind · **OS:** 4.5.0.44

I am loving the metallic blush color. I keep checking the site... still not up!

starsrblind · **OS:** 4.5.0.44

Ok, the Pearl is up! You can buy one new (starting at $499) or send yours in (starting at $99).

Wow $499 for a new colored Pearl, I wonder how much the Curves will be????

luckykelleyk · 12-31-2007, 11:12 AM

Wow! What a tease! I can't believe I have to wait till friday for the curve. That is so annoying.

PPCMD · 12-31-2007, 05:42 PM

So much for having the Colorware for BB up today, sorry but having one phone out today and staged roll out over two weeks is crazy. Its not like they don't know what they are doing right.

I know! I think it is stupid too. Im just happy I don't have to wait two weeks, like I would have to if I had an 8800. Only 4 more days....

Right there with you; I can't even let my BB go for an hour or so.

PPCMD · 01-01-2008, 03:14 PM

I might send my curve out first since then my 8820. I just can't narrow down a color combo. Plus I really want to see and hears others on the forums results.

luckykelleyk · 01-04-2008, 01:32 AM

Tomorrow is the day for the curve!!!

John Clark · **OS:** 4.6.1.250

You would really spend that kind of money coloring your BB?

luckykelleyk · 01-04-2008, 01:55 AM

Well, my curve is the first phone that I have kept for any decent amount of time, without coveting some other new phone. I promised my fiance I would keep it at least a year

I am happy with it, and he is going to have it done for me as a gift.

starsrblind · **OS:** 4.5.0.44

This is so hot! Only $99 to get my Curve done like this??? I'm sold!

PPCMD · 01-04-2008, 01:11 PM

I have decided that I am just looking to do my 8820 and keep my curve as is. Not sure on colors yet and while their color palette tool is nice its not does not give me the real world look and feel. Too back it will be weeks before if not longer anyone here gets it back.

cmcmmvlv · 01-04-2008, 01:48 PM

yeah this would be nice to have... but i'm gonna seriously agree with everyone else. what the hell would i do without my blackberry for all that time?

starsrblind · **OS:** 4.5.0.44

This is why it's a good idea to hold on to your older models of blackberries- for times like these!

PPCMD · 01-05-2008, 11:53 AM

I emailed them ColorwarePC support yesterday with one simple question. What happens if my battery door becomes lost or damaged? Can I get an an extra battery door color matched (I have a spare for each phone).

The simple answer is NO. They will only do a single complete phone so if it breaks, gets lost or whatever you cannot get a spare done you will need to order a full new phone color paint job which means you would need to go to cnn.cn and order spare parts rebuid your BB and send it in again.

This has given me reason to pause.

jsntrenkler · **OS:** 4.7.1.40

That's a pretty pink pearl starsrblind

... They would have to pay me to be seen with that.

luckykelleyk · 01-05-2008, 08:22 PM

So, has anyone started the process of getting their phone colored? I'm definitely going to do it but I'm still deciding on the color..... Leaning towards prowler

PPCMD · 01-06-2008, 04:28 PM

I'm still a bit tempted but with the rumors of the 89xx for Vodafone announced at Boy Genius Report with what is the best specs abound I may just save my cash and get one of those direct from Colorware (if they get them) and get it colored out of the gate. I need to see what the next few months is going to shape up like.

luckykelleyk · 01-07-2008, 10:09 PM

Okay so I was pretty much decided on prowler, until I found this pic...

That is Envy, and I have to say, I really like that color. So I want opinions, which one...

or

(keep in mind this is the same color as the above ipod.)
Help!

notoriousformula · 01-07-2008, 10:29 PM

I like Prowler..easy on eyes and different!

starsrblind · **OS:** 4.5.0.44

I vote Prowler. That's hot. I'm glad we're sticking the metallic colors. I think those would look better on the Curve anyways.

Okay, its decided then

Starsrblind, are you getting yours done blush? Have you sent it in yet?

muck · 01-08-2008, 02:24 AM

i vote prowler also.

shame they dont allow overseas shipments. i wouldnt mind splashing some color on the back of my 8820. :(

starsrblind · **OS:** 4.5.0.44

I'm pretty set on the blush color. An all black one looks cool too! Now I can't decide if I want to send mine in and get a Pearl while I wait (then sell it) OR... buy a new Curve from Colorware and then sell my Curve I have now once the I get the Colorware one. Decisions decisions!

PPCMD · 01-08-2008, 01:13 PM

Prowler does look nice.

muck · 01-08-2008, 01:49 PM

starsrblind, go with the option that leaves more money in your pocket. it is afterall a 3-4week replacement. maybe its a good opportunity to pick up a backup bb ;)
yeah go the blush its always good to see a girl flashing pink!

luckykelleyk · 01-09-2008, 08:23 PM

I'm sending my BB in tommorow

I will miss it. It will be like when my fiance went out of state for his job.... lol

starsrblind · **OS:** 4.5.0.44
