As geeked out as I was when Steve Jobs first announced the iPhone 3G and the new colors, I still remember feeling a little let down that we only got to choose from a black or white option, as exciting as those colors may be. Since my pulse quickened when I read the rumor that there may be a red iPhone, I knew I wouldn't be satisfied with the Oreo-color option for long!

Thankfully, Colorware, those artists who custom-color your gadgets (check out this pink BlackBerry Curve a TeamSugar user had "colorwared"), has just announced that they are ready to start colorwaring the iPhone 3G! Looking at the images on the site, I'm in love — and deciding what will go best with my Fall wardrobe!

TeamSugar user BreadNButter saw the pretty-in-pink guitars for Guitar Hero on the site yesterday and had to share her marvelous ColorWare news — that she got her BlackBerry Curve painted in pink!

Thanks to ColorWare and their fantastic custom color service, you can add some pizazz and personality to most of your gadgets. Considering 90 percent of you said that getting your cell phone custom-colored was geek chic, I knew you'd probably enjoy seeing this pimped-out pink phone!

Unlike other companies which offer to spray paint or tattoo your gadgets, ColorWare purchases brand new electronics and colors them with a proprietary coatings system. So instead of covering your new nano with a blue plastic case, you can order it directly from ColorWare in whatever hue you want. With about twenty-nine standard colors to choose from and thousands of color combinations, you are guaranteed to have a unique Apple nano, iPod touch, iPod or iPhone. Usually I wait until I get sick of the manufacturers color before I buy a new bright case, so I don't know if this is something I'd go for. But then again, the idea of having a turquoise and purple iPhone is kinda fun. Wondering what the price differentiation is? Well to give you an idea, an 8GB iPod Touch costs $299 from Apple, whereas a customized iPod Touch from ColorWare costs $395. But then again, it does come personally designed by you!
