How come good questions never get answered but dumb responses get mad attention, fuck what camera took these pictures, what’s up with all these custom logos and shit?

I like the design, no matter what you think of Colorware, but is it just me, or does rocking this kind of blow your cover as “the Boy Genius.” Wouldn’t it be easier to use a stock BB Bold incognito?

Am I the only hater? It looks ok, but not great. And that signature looks like a paint marker did it. Maybe this is how it was ordered. The flat black is tight, though.

For customized electronics, mess with Forat. I think their site is Forat.com or something. They specialize in digital music instruments, but can do anything. They are the electronics customizers to the stars. They did my MPC 2000XL sequencer/sampler back in the day. As soon as Nokia’s next REAL Nseries flagship comes in a few months, I’m getting her pimped out, pronto!

How is the BGR logo and writing on the back applied-assuming it’s really there? BG..?

I think it looks good. Since I’m waiting on the Javelin anyway, maybe I should turn my 8310 into a Jets shrine (green and white). It’s blinding here in first place!

Not a whole lot of difference between the two!

Here’s my blacked out Bold.

Hey dude, just wondering if you knew how much they would charge to put customized logo’s onto the device kinda like what they did with urs.

Thanks

Go to cnn.cn and buy all the black parts for dirt cheap. The process to replace parts is way way simple.

I bought the blacked out my bezel, keys and provider brand as well as the Canandian keyboard.

Now I’m rockin’ a fully Black Bold that looks hella better than the crome.

Cheers to all the people who think this is a touched photo. Go to cnn.cn and see for yourselves.

Nice, but I did it myself for $15 and a screwdriver and avoided the colorware tax. cnn.cn folks

Can’t see it on the pictures but im gonna guess the charging contacts, mute button, as well as the battery release door are all silver. If thats so, colourware is getting all these parts from cnn.cn and not painting a thing.

By: BaRTiMuS

BaRTiMuS — Mon, 24 Nov 2008 17:38:20 +0000

In fact Colorware did exactly that, If they actually painted the bezel themselves, the battery release button would be black, not silver like the one from cnn.cn.

I have my curve done the same motif, all black.

I wish they did flat black, I am contemplating painting my BMW flat black, and I dick the look, I wish I could get my curve in flat black to match, if nothing else i LOVE the look.

If you have 120 bucks, suck it up, it’s your device and they will make it look fresh. had it for a year? send it in, and get it a new look. colorware is awesome, and I LOVE mine.

I am sure you guys got this done for free but why would any one pay colourware $100+ to do something you can do yourself for a fraction of the cost:

Black Bezel$12.99 – http://cnn.cn/shop/blackberry-bold-9000-black-bezel-p-3636.html

Plain Back Cover $12.99 – http://cnn.cn/shop/blackberry-bold-9000-battery-cover-p-2851.html

The only thing I don’t like about colorware is that the paint chips pretty damn easily I love how my phones look (iphone and sidekick lx) but the paint sure is hell is not durable. First tumble destroyed my expensive ass paint job. Just my thoughts.
