The Story of the RedBerry

Howard H. Thaw writes "In my youniverse -- where I increasingly get to chose the devices I want, the services I need and customize them to my own specifications and standards - RIM offered me the BlackBerry device I wanted and needed - but that still only got me part of the way. Here's the story of my RedBerry, I hope it will inspire your own. According to Mathew Ingram, tech writer for the Globe and Mail in his column entitled Pimp Your Device this may very well be the world's only triple-coated and glazed Ferrari-red BlackBerry."

Lame

that's the stupidest article I've ever read. I'll save everyone a few minutes of their lives and summarize.

-People drool over my red blackberry
-I'm a free thinker and everyone else is an idiot
-I got a car paintjob on a blackberry case

I was thinking that the article was going to be about China's response to the blackberry but instead ot was just an idiot who discovered simple modding.

This is sorta cool...

Sure, like the first few comments said, the writeup wasn't that amazing, and there's nothing that special about doing this. But it's still cool, nonetheless. As far as I know, nobody else has done this to a BlackBerry. If I were ever to get a BlackBerry, I would want it to be in a color other than black or navy blue. Perhaps RIM will take a hint and offer a choice of colors. (But all the corportate IT depts will buy the black ones, saying it's cheaper and easier to get the default color.)

I thought this was about China's "Redberry"

Silly me thinking this was actually an interesting article about China's Redberry platform.
