ColorWare’s exclusive Stealth design includes the new matte black finish on the back, logo, frame, button, dock and earbuds for that high-class look you’ve been waiting for.
Elements of Design
The Stealth design also:

- colors the chrome ring around the camera
- includes a black square on the front button
- discreetly includes the ColorWare Custom logo in matching black
The Beauty of Matte
ColorWare’s matte black color includes the same scratch resistant quality as our standard colors to protect your phone against minor scuffs from normal usage, and the matte finish also adds resistance to fingerprint marks. With it’s smooth-touch texture and high durability, matte adds style, comfort and protection to your phone for the life of the product.

If you find yourself using the alarm often on your BlackBerry, the fine folks from BBSmart have cooked up Alarms Pro. It’s a solid step up from the default app, by virtue of a bunch of features like letting you use full MP3 files as alarms, programming multiple alarms for quick re-use, custom snooze lengths, and plenty of other stuff. We had the developer, Neil, on our podcast awhile back, and asked if they’d be spreading out from the ever-popular Email Viewer; it’s cool to see that he has, and we’re definitely looking forward to his next concoction. We’re sure this app is quality, so check out Alarms Pro here. Oh yeah, Neil also has a bitchin’ blog for any devs out there.

While Sprint’s release date for the BlackBerry 8330 is still in flux, Alltel has gone all official, announcing a May 1st. release date. It’s available for pre-order now on Alltel’s online store for $229.99 after a $100.00 mail-in rebate and a two-year plan.
Bell and Telus up north have already unleashed their devices, but it’s safe to say that most of the big names in the US will have the CDMA Curve ready to rock before WES.

Nobody really wants to cover up the sleekness of the iPhone or iPod Touch with a gaudy case. But if you want to keep it protected, what are you to do? For a nearly invisible solution, check out the Naked Case ($35; iPhone/Touch). Billed as the world’s first touch-through case, it features Matrix-sounding electrostatic membrane technology that mimics the way the iPhone and iPod Touch screens work, allowing you to fully control them as normal.
