Blackberry Bold 9000

Had your heart set on getting your own white iPhone 4 on Thursday morning? Although no one has been able to crack the case of the missing white iPhone, you still have a few options — wait until the white iPhone 4 hits the market sometime "later this Summer," or suck it up and buy a different model phone. Good news is, there are a few awesome alternatives that can satisfy your color preference, and your need for a new gadget at the same time — you just have to know where to look. Best part? You probably won't have to call in sick to work and sleep on the sidewalk to get your hands on one.

• BlackBerry Bold 9000 ($200) — A favorite of celebrities and business-types alike, the BlackBerry Bold 9000 is sleek, stylish and is a tried-and-true smartphone from the inside out. A crisp and clear VGA backlit LCD screen shows over 65,000 colors, comes with a 2MP camera, and syncs up with your Windows Media Player or iTunes for easy transfer of your favorite jams.
• HTC EVO 4G ($200) — The iPhone 4's biggest competition just got a little more colorful. The white HTC EVO 4G will be sold exclusively at Best Buy starting on July 11, but you can place your pre-order now.

Although I'm obviously an iPhone kind of girl, after playing with the White BlackBerry Bold 9000 for a few days, I was considering a switch. It would take some getting used to — using the trackball instead of my fingers to navigate, and re-learning the interface — but the thought did cross my mind. Not to mention, I'd be in good company along with Diane Kruger, Paris Hilton, and The City's Whitney Port, who all use the crisp white Bold. It's not a coincidence that business-types, celebs, and geek chic gals like myself would want to tote this version of the BlackBerry Bold family — it's fast, easy to use, and oh-so-pretty!

The stars were out in force for Saturday's Screen Actors Guild Awards, and although some may have been focused on red carpet style, I was keeping my eyes peeled for any tech appearances. Thankfully, I got lucky and spotted award-winning star Diane Kruger posing with Inglourious Basterds director Quentin Tarantino in front of her white BlackBerry Bold 9000. We don't see many of these out in the wild too often, but when we do it's always an eye-catcher.

With Diane's 2MP camera and flash, she probably could have snapped a pretty good shot of the two of them in the dimly lit Shrine Auditorium, but I am a little worried that she didn't get the results she may have wanted — she's pointing the lens the wrong way!
