G1 and BlackBerry Bold get the Colorware treatment, finally feel at home with your bippies and lightsticks

As you probably learned in grammar school, there's a time in every gadget's life when it gets the Colorware treatment -- and for the G1 and the Bold, the time is now. It'll run you $150 to dress up your current T-Mobile handset, or the company will ship you a brand new one $725. Prices for the BlackBerry Bold run $139 and $674 for the makeover and the whole phone, respectively. Sure, that's a pretty pile of change, but if you'd spent your formative years in the East Coast rave scene you'd know just how coveted and stylish a pink, blue and orange G1 really is. If the BlackBerry is more your speed, make sure you check out that sexy number after the break.

[Thanks, Ken]

Horrible colors to go with the ugly phone. It's a match made in hell.

The more I see the G1, the more I believe THIS G2 HD won't ever come to life:

This is what happens when you leave a box of crayons in the office of one of HTC's daily maltreated designers.

And I've never seen anything as cool as this! Where's my photons! :P

They really belong to Toys-R-US for the holiday season. I'm sure kids will love it.

I was gonna post "what the hell are bippies?"

but I thought I should look it up, first, just to be safe.

dictionary.com says:
bip⋅py
–noun, plural -pies. Slang.
an unspecified part of the anatomy (usually used in the phrase You bet your (sweet) bippy).

urbandictionary says:
bippies
Breasts; preferably those of a woman

So to bring everything full circle:
What the hell?

Ugh. And I thought the 80's revival was bad for MUSIC! :)

okay, fashionistas-- go to the site, click on the G1, and choose carbon for the main color, and steel for the keyboard and tell me that's not smokin' hot. it's basically the new macbook. it is pricey though. i'd do it if they didn't keep the phone for a month.
