Colorware lets you get funky with your G1

Colorware has done it again, you guessed it this time they have gone and colorized the G1. Now those of you who can’t decide on a color won’t have to. This company has been bringing color to handsets and devices with great quality for some time now.

Though their services are a bit on the steep side, we can personally testify to the superb quality of their work. Its going to cost you anywhere from $15 for the keyboard or bottom of the device to $220 for the entire thing. If you still haven’t purchased your T-Mobile G1 yet well you’re in luck. They also offer the units as well starting at $770 without a contract. The price breakdown goes as follows, Main Display $175, Keyboard $15, Bottom $15 and back for $15. We would love to see pictures of the colors out members have chosen.

    I also have a life and family to look after. Most sites wont even put it up till tomorrow anyway. I don't have time to look up over priced raver colored casings or put makeup on and snap pictures of myself in the bathroom mirror like a 12 year old girl. I've got things to do, none of which include the following:

    • Twirling glow sticks
    • Sucking on binkies
    • Sapping photos of my hair
    • Flexing in the mirror as I take pictures of STAR tattoos while covering up my face even though I'm trying to show just how hardcore, "manly" and "tough" I can be.
    • Taking pictures of my PURPLE car
    • Wearing brightly colored cloths
    • Putting a gun and famous footwear layout on my MySpace
    • Wearing 47 rainbow colored bead bracelets and Hot Topic pants
    • Shopping at the mall for J-Lo glasses so I can take pictures of them and my hair in the bathroom mirror



    I think I can put it up whenever I like but thanks for helping me mend the error of my ways.

    Uh....NO!

    Where are you getting your stats on G1 replacement? I haven't heard too many problems coming from the mature individuals that know how to care for such a device.

    This is the most thoroughly researced and articulate Dis I have ever seen. Well said...

    Back on Topic, what do these guys do? take apart your G1 and spray paint it? If so I could do that for a lot cheaper and I wouldn't offer colour schemes that made the G1 look like something from Fisher Price.
  7. $15,$15,$15, and $175?!?!? wtf are u serious $175 for the screen y the EXTREME price difference? thats just ridiculous to me. Thats about half of a maaco paint job for a CAR!!

    I don't know if you've been here long enough to notice that I am the Admin of the site. I run this site. I write all the blogs on the front page and make sure people like you don't start flame wars because of ignorant statements.
  17. I think it looks pretty cool..... no, strike that. It looks awesome. I would love to have a phone like some of those, but I think they are over-priced. Anyone ever seen one up close? I think what they are doing is probably pretty expensive to implement, so that's why the high price. So, my phone stays black with the invisible skin on it.

    i guess you work off a 1000% scale
  19. I've always said this: I WANT AN ANDROID GREEN ANDROID PHONE! And alas, it has become possible. I mean, it was inevitable but to see this:



    It just brings tears to my eyes.

    Just the right shade! I actually like it, not sure how well my eyes would take it every day.
  21. It'd probably be a unwise choice to start posting cheeseburger cat photo's at this time, would it not?
  22. Totally not worth it, at any price.

    The HTC G1 is an entry-level phone with a very poor build and an obvious escape plan. Face it guys, it's a cool phone but you know it's crap. But who cares, I bought the first Sidekick ever and I expect to be buying a replacement for my G1 sometime in late 2009. You know it's only going to be about a year before a nicer Anroid phone comes out, even through TMobile.

    But paying for a paint job on a phone with a crappy, squeaking screen hinge and a soft keyboard? No way.

    We need an Android phone with a nicer build. Stat.
  23. I disagree with the comments on the G1 being an entry level phone with a cheap build. I think it is a great phone with very slight design defects that I don't find to be a nuisance at all. If you had a BlackBerry before you might be a little disappointed but I had a Berry and that is not a problem for me.
  24. I dunno, it looks nice and all BUT I cant see myself using that in public.
    For heavens sake, it`s green :P
