ColorWare Nexus One: custom paintjobs for $175

27 January 2010 by Chris Davies

The sober gray color scheme Google chose for their Nexus One isn’t exactly eye-catching, which is a shame given the smartphone has the potential for far greater things. Perennial painters ColorWare are now offering their customization skills for the Nexus One, meaning you can turn the dreary grey into various glossy or soft-touch hues.

The frame, back panel, bottom section and camera surround can all be tweaked with a variety of metallic, solid or pearl tones to choose from, and you can be as tasteful or as tacky as you want. Pricing is either $175 if you’re content to send in your Nexus One, or ColorWare will buy the handset for you and paint it for $800.

Man, this is cool, but way too expensive. Most people I know who have the N1 are already breaking their bank just to get the N1 itself. To be fair, they're all teenagers, but I don't suspect too many members of the older crowd messing with less-than-a-month-old technology.

If you like, you can buy an N1, install a 16GB microSD, ship it to me and pay me $400 and I'll color it in with crayons and keep it...

I actually like the colors of the N1.. it is simple, clean and elegant.
