Yes, patients do, in fact pay, which is why physicians are well paid.

Grah, wish I had known about this.
But if it's America only, then I don't care. I'd love a Dark Green DS Lite, but I'm happy with my Navy Blue.

I think I'm going to end up doing this. It's the one device I can wait three weeks for.

I still don't like their policy regarding warranty.
If you send in a product (used or new in box), 30 day parts, 1 year labor.
Buy the product from them, 1 year parts and labor.
Does it not make sense that if you send them a sealed product, you should get 1 year parts & labor.
Sure it's capitalism, but it's feigned customer service in my opinion.
Was going to send my Blackberry Curve until they told me their outrageous policy. How could they treat my phone, new in box, similarly to some phone by Joe-Schmoe who picks his nose and probably drops his phone in his carpetted motor home. I would expect a better warranty for having my phone devirginized by their hands.
BTW, if you lose the battery door or have it damaged, and wanted a new battery door painted, too bad. They don't do individual parts; gotta buy a new product and have them repaint the entire thing.
Dyranios @ Mar 18th 2008 8:37PM
If you have a sealed product or want a new one then just buy it from them new and colored and get the full yeah for both parts and labor.
BlissX @ Mar 18th 2008 8:42PM
Brand New BlackBerry Curve on eBay - ~$320
Blackberry Curve RETAIL - $399
Blackberry Curve Colorware - $499 (without painting options)
It's a rip off.
If you send in YOUR brand new, sealed product, you only get 30 day parts, 1 year labor. Not the 1 Year Part/Labor.
You're paying a premium just to get proper warranty coverage; that is my point. They're obviously out to make a mean-profit.
Will @ Mar 18th 2008 9:15PM
Get your info straight. The $499 INCLUDES the paint job.
Why would you have a sealed Curve anyway? If you want the full warranty, sell your sealed-in-the-box curve for retail cost (unless you dropped it on the floor of your carpeted motor home), then buy one from ColorWare.

The big meanies >.
Dyranios @ Mar 18th 2008 9:44PM
Sorry but WTF are you talking about their warranty makes perfect sense.
BlissX @ Mar 19th 2008 12:00AM
@ Will, you're correct. I initially believed it was $499 for the phone alone. But the $499 cost only includes one coat/color. Nonetheless, it's cheaper to buy from eBay. My mistake on that.
@ Dyranios, if you send in a sealed, new product. They should treat it equally as it you bought it from them, since obviously they have sealed product. If you send in a sealed phone, they'd give you the same coverage as a used phone, which imo, is unfair.

I bought a 4G iPod from them years ago, which had lots of hard drive trouble. The first two times it died was during the warranty and their customer service was great and the repair very fast both times. I really liked the quality of the paint job and would buy from them again if there was an item I wanted.

No thank you, I'll just go with my gold plated replacement cases.
peshue @ Mar 18th 2008 9:09PM
Holy cow is their example picture ugly.
wootman @ Mar 18th 2008 9:36PM
if you replace the blue with red for the top and black for the GBA port cover its a famicom ds.
