You remember Colorware? It’s the site where you can give not only your BlackBerry, but tons of other devices a custom paint job. Well generally the custom paint job for a BlackBerry costs around $159 USD, and you have to send it to them. Well Colorware has introduced a parts only service for those feeling curious. Basically Colorware’s parts only service means you buy the pieces, and they’ll ship them to you for you to install. Currently the Parts Only service is available only for the BlackBerry Curve 8900 at a cost of $99 USD.

It’s no secret that the BlackBerry Curve 8530 is heading to Verizon, and now rumors have arrived that some Verizon stores have started to receive their accessories for the new Curve. It’s expected that Verizon will officially put the Curve 8530 on sale November 20th, therefore it only makes sense that accessories are starting to flow into stores now. Is anyone here interested in grabbing the new Curve with Wi-Fi and optical Trackpad from Verizon?

Looks like AT&T may be getting ready to launch a white colored BlackBerry Curve 8900 soon. This is the first we’ve heard or seen of a White 8900, but it would only make sense. A new tip received over at BGR shows the White 8900 in an AT&T advertisement. The tipster didn’t have any release dates, or pricing, but I’m sure we can except it to launch soon. So question for you the readers… What do you think of the new White BlackBerry models? First the Bold, now the Curve.

Look what came out of hiding! The BlackBerry Curve 8530 has just been announced officially by RIM. Not too long after it was announced we saw press releases from both Verizon and Sprint, in the United States. The new Curve 8530 sports a newer style body, with trackpad navigation, Wi-Fi, dedicated music keys and GPS. Sprint is yet to announce pricing or a release date, however Verizon says they will be launching it on November 20th for $99.99 with contract, after rebates.

It seems the Rogers BlackBerry Curve 8520 is just around the corner. Today Best Buy Canada “accidentally” listed the BlackBerry Curve 8520 for Rogers on their site. It’s currently listed at $99 with three year contract or $449 without. This comes after launch materials and dummy phones have arrived at some Rogers retail stores across Canada. This might mean we will see an official launch sometime soon. Keep checking in…

It seems that Rogers might be launching the Curve 8520 soon than later. The first live picture of a Rogers branded 8520 has been spotted over at BGR. This unit is running OS 4.6.1.274, and appears to have zero physical branding, just the OS boot up screen. Looks like this is the start of things to come… Anyone care to leak out some shots of the Rogers branded Onyx (Bold 9700)??

We knew it would come soon than later, but proof the BlackBerry Bold 9700 “Onyx” and Curve 8520 “Gemini” are heading to Rogers has arrived. Boy Genius obtained some screen shots of Rogers’ internal upgrading system, which shows both devices listed. It’s not known when either of the devices will be available, or even pricing at this time. We think both devices should launch late this month or early next… Stay tuned for confirmation.

Colorware is known for creating some of the coolest, and some of the ugliest colored devices on the market.
