So I found this awesome service called colorware that will basically paint your G1 in almost any color scheme you want. It is pretty cool. It is $175 if you already have the phone or you can buy a new one from them for a little over $700. Check it out.

apparently the company doesn't know how to add... I can get a new one from tmobile for 400 and then send it to them for 175 which turns out to be 575... 125 short.
even if I added tax up it would still come out to 75 dollars more... I would think they would charge less if they already had the phones at the warehouse.
Personally I think this is a rip off. Anyone ever use them?

it is a rip off, but i have used them before, i got my laptop painted, which was cool at first, but it was not worth it, i could have did it myself
Personally I think this is a rip off as well. Just thought I would post it for anyone who might be eccentric enough to do it. I think it is a cool concept but there are better ways to spend $175.
Tell you what send me your g1, I'll cover all the openings and break out the spray paint and i will do all this for 20 bucks plus money for the color paint you want lol

Yeah, it is a rip off..although the phone you buy from them is "unlocked" it would still be cheaper to buy it from T-Mobile for 400, buy an unlock code for 25 and then get is custom colored for 175. The only way you're saving money is because its not 175 unless you just get one color. So in a way, if you dont have a G1, it would be best to buy it unlocked from colorware if you're getting all parts different colors.
T-Mobile unlocks for free when you buy it from them at full price.

Yea ask a CS or Sales Rep at the local store. It says in their policy it is free for those who buy it in full... and if you got it at discount then you have to wait 90 days and pay your bill on time.
Jesus Horatio Christ those are some ugly phones. Why would someone do that to their phone? They look like they are made by PlaySkool or something.
Send me $700 and I'll send you a G1 that looks like ****, too. Heck, I'll do it for $699. Use the extra buck to buy some bubble gum.
no design on it or anything? that kinda sucks =/
btw, does anyone know what kind of paint would be needed? thinking about trying it but i don't wanna ruin the G1s nice "texture" (can't think of any other way to descripe it lol)
@meltus...
your gonna need a HCF type of paint (Hard Coat Finish) thats flexible and chip resistant. The flexibility will stop it peeling and cracking. Plus you need to put at least 3-5 coats on the cover to make sure your getting an even and tough cover.
I use a company called paintsprays.co.uk for all the paints i use in painting mobile phones.
if u need ne help just pm me!

Hi all,
Does anyone know which Phantom Skinz will fit the AT&T Tilt 2.
They have 3 versions on the website for TouchPro2, but the carriers are Sprint, T-Mobile and Verizon. No AT&T
http://phantomskinz.com/search.aspx?manufacturer=5
I emailed them at Phantom Skinz but they don't know.
Thanks
I actually contacted them about a Tilt2 version as well. They said that they don't have one right now but then they asked me if I wanted to loan them my Tilt2 so that they can create one. They said that they would fully skin my device free of charge if I was willing to lend them my phone, thanks but NO THANKS!

That's a good one, loan them your Tilt2
Lemme guess, they had the T-Mobile, Verizon and Sprint versions loaned out to them too ?
I thought they are in the business to make money, they should be on top of their market.
PhantomSkinz Guru said:
Hi All,
Just a quick clarification. We believe the Tilt 2 is the same design as the T-Mobile version TP2. We will edit our site to indicate this. Also, we occasionally get requests from customers looking for a skin that we do not have. For popular phones we will offer to have the phone shipped to us, draw the phone, install the pattern and return it to them. In addition, some people just like to have us install the skin, which we will if the phone is shipped to us.
Feel free to PM me if you have any questions about PhantomSkinz!

TMob TP2 back cover is different than the ATT Tilt2...so the fit will not be the same.

Brian,
Thanks for that. I will add the AT&T model to our list. HTC really wears us out.

Invisible Sheild a better bet!
Just go with Invisible Shield, I've used them for my iphone and had the same skin on for 2 years. I now ordered one for my ATT Tilt 2 and my ATT Pure. It's an extremely well made skin. And the best part, they already have one made for the ATT Tilt 2.
http://www.zagg.com/invisibleshield/htc-tilt-2-cases-screen-protectors-covers-skins-shields.php
well, I got the verizon skin. I am not impressed with the edge pieces at all. It may be that the design of the phone and being complicated, but with the edge pieces being rounded and cornered the pieces dont fit well.
The battery cover and the front lcd skin fit nicely. I am not really liking the feel, the stylus doesnt drag over the screen freely, it is rather rubbery feeling so it stutters, often causing unintended results.
I spoke with phantomskinz in an email over about a week and a half (kind of long time, for something so simple) and they offered me to ship it back for a refund. While I am sure I wont get my shipping back and I will have to pay for shipping to them and then I am only saving like $9 at best. So, I will wait till I find a decent deal on bodyguardz or the like and replace this.
I would suggest to use something else as phantomskinz customer service is not the best and takes longer then necessary. Also quality of the design is probably matched or exceeded by another maker.
the side was a no go for me too.. you cant put them on.... they dont fit well
the back came out nice and so does the front but thats about it.
I have a Dell Streak...even though it is running 2.2.2, I LOVE it.
I wanted to take a look at the SGS2 just to see if it was as good in person, as
it has been in the press.
Stopped by a blue shirt store (Best Buy), strolled around looking for it. Couldn't find it. Finally a drone asked me if I was looking for anything. Said, yes, but you don't have it. Told her and she said, "oh, we have them, we just didn't bother putting them out". LOL No display for the device, nothing. I said do you even have a non working one. Oh, I guess I have one behind the counter, but with the new iphone coming out....I just turned and walked away.
Best Buy has become such a joke. About all it is good for, is going into the
store to actually HOLD something in your hand, then buying it from Ebay or
Amazon for LESS.
Stopped by a corporate death star store and saw a FUNCTIONING one. Wow! Fast, smooth, BRIGHT. If it wasn't for the smaller 4.3" screen vs the 5" screen I have on the streak, I would have gotten one right then. If the Note comes to the shores before 2012, I'll get one, or just bite the bullet and get the SGS2.
Kind of hard going back to a smaller screen when you get use to a 5 incher.
Yeah Best Buy has gotten bad. I went to make a simple exchange of Infuse for Galaxy S II and left those crappy headphones home by mistake and she wouldn't let me exchange. There was another Best Buy on the way home, stopped in there and the guy didn't even ask about the headphones. They were sold out at 12:15 though so I had to get a return and go to AT&T to get the phone.
The pricing in there is ridiculous. They are butt raping people, 40 dollars for a 6 ft HDMI cord? Get out of here.

Boy you got that right!
Sometimes when I need a hard drive or something RIGHT NOW to fix a down piece of gear, I'll stop there to get it. Hearing the "lies" they tell people sometimes just makes me want to yell RUN! QUICK! Before you get ripped off!
My local Best Buy store got 2 in stock today for AT&T. 2?! Luckily, my regular AT&T store had plenty so I got one there. Slightly harder still was finding a screen protector. After 9 months out of contract I'm back, but it's all good.
You guys must be going to some shady best buys. The one i go to they know me by name and always know what im in for before i even ask for what i want. They also price matched AT&T for me this morning and gave me 10% off for my whole purchase because im a rewards member. Me and Best Buy are friends. lol

Both best buys near me got two each, and one of them is always being slammed by tour busses. I don't know why so many best buys are only getting 2 GS2s each but thankfully I got one of those two so I'm happy.
Sent from my ATT GS2
We got only small quantity of gs2 cause of at&t. We were told that they wanted them because of the extra add on packages and accessories. We are considered second to corporate att . That went over employee news. We can do something called a instant ship though. Which takes about 1 biz day. Cause we basicaly get it from a near att store. lol

Does the Best Buy package come with the HDMI adapter? My box doesn't have one but I read in a review that AT&T was including it free.
brianlp, i purchased at Best Buy and it didnt come with the HDMI.
I love the best buy in Fairview heights IL. They only had 2 let me pre-order and then gave me 32 dollars off the phone bought my captivate off me for 112. Everyone was super nice and always have been.

That's what the BB guy told me. He said he could get me one from another store, which I assumed was another BB. I asked him when would they get another shipment, and he said Thursday's is when the truck came in. I said thanks, then drove over to AT&T.
Best Buy can be a PAIN, I will readily admit that. However it can really depend on the service. I tend to get really good service at my local Best Buy. And since we recently bought a new home and upgraded out TV, fridge and washer Dryer, I had a BUNCH of reward zone points. So I pre ordered my GS II at BB. when I got there they where great, they returned my $50.00 pre order to my card. Price matched the "rumored" $148.88 Wal-Mart price, and did it all pretty dran quick too. My total OOP for the phone was $1.88. So while I can agree that in many cases BB isn't the best, currently I am a fan.
I have not had an issue with Best Buy. I had gotten my Nexus S there, now my SGS II and everything went smoothly. They even price matched WalMart for me.
If you live near one of the best buys that are closing you can pick up the docking station for $105 right now

Or if you have amazon prime...you can buy it for 115.83, which is pretty much the same price when you calculate gas and tax.

I guess if shipping is free and you don't mind missing work so nobody steals it from your porch. Also hope there is nothing wrong with it so you don't have to mail it back to get another one.

Sure.
Or you can go drive to best buy and hope nobody t-bones you on the way there and puts you in the hospital for months while your family worries if you'll live or not.
Let's not be stupid. It's another well priced option in addition to the one you posted for those without best buys that are going out of business or for those who can't make it to one.
Well played sir.
Um... I just picked up an open box new docking station for $45. The store I got it from sold it to me as a "defective" unit. There was a customer who bought it and then returned it right away claiming he couldn't put the TF into it. Sure enough, the store personel tried to put the TF in and it wouldn't go in. They said there must have been something wrong with the locking mechanism. So, I bought it for $45.
When I got home, I promptly pushed the lock ladging thing to the left and put my TF in. Been working flawlessly.

Just a quick FYI for you guys, I have not visited my local Best Buys (Milwaukee, WI) but I did call a couple and they said
they did not get any Samsung cases in at all for the Note 3. This would make sense since they seem to be back ordered everywhere.
This might be the first time I can remember recently that the cases were out of stock but the phones were not.
My local Best Buy did not have any accessories for the Note 3.
No official Samsung accessories at my local Best Buy but they did have the Platinum case branded Seidio kickstand case with belt clip.

I returned the two cases I bought at T-Mobile, that Tech 21 stuff is way overpriced especially for a folio case with no window at 45 dollars and a tpu for 35 bucks lol. I'm surprised BB doesn't have anything yet since they are selling the darn phone for 4 different carriers, I don't mind paying that kind of money for a case but it better be a name I can trust like Otterbox, Speck, Seido or BodyGlove. Went to Samsung site and even their S-View cases are on backorder, man I thought the G2 was going to be a ***** to get a case for but they had plenty of choices compared to this.
Its probably going to be a few weeks before any of the Sammy accessories roll in to BestBuy.

The Tech21 case isn't bad TBH but it just makes the phone too wide and tall! I know it's for that edge protection but still. A Speck Candyshell Grip would be far better for the same price!
