Joe Everypimp’s Guide to BlackBerry Customization

Awhile back, my buddy Al did a roundup of some of the most extreme pimping of BlackBerrys you can find – diamonds, gold, leather you name it. A cool novelty, no doubt, but what about Joe Everymanpimp? Is there not something for the common BlackBerry Mack Daddy in a cubic zirconia, pleather, or metallic finish? Why yes, there certainly is, and it won’t cost you hundreds of bucks to ship out your gear to get ‘er done – one needs only the sheer testicular fortitude to disassemble your device and replace the housing. (For the less adventurous, there are skins and swanky battery door replacements.) You might have caught those coloured trackballs last week, but lately it seems original equipment manufacturer outlets are featuring a tonne of other slick parts to swap out.

So gather ye all around, my little pimplings – each page will show disassembly and reassembly videos for each major BlackBerry device, as well as a wealth of bling for your consideration. Of course, there are always themes, cases, and other accessories but let’s stick to the body itself for now, then you can add on the other parts. Even if you don’t have a BlackBerry, check these sources – they tend to have plenty of goodies for other phones as well. As ever, if you have any additions, drop a comment, dawg.
