The Boy Genius Report: BlackBerry loves Goooold!

Field report tidbits from Engadget's mobile insider, the Boy Genius.

I guess Pharrell really started a trend. Here we have a solid 18k white gold BlackBerry 8700g. If you can stand your service being reduced a little (due to the massive amount of, well, gold) and can afford the high price tag, call up your boy Jacob The Jeweler -- he made this flawless. I have never seen such craftsmanship.

I wish Sprint had a Boy Genius. We have mostly Boy Morons. Where's the solid inside info.

Isn't Jacob The Jeweler is jail right now for embezzling some hundreds of millions of dollars? I'd go for the platinumberry with my initials in black diamonds anyway.

No he posted million dollar bail the same day

A carbon-fiber blackberry would be awesome too.

Does anyone know what is being shown on the screen???

#5: That's the Zen theme home screen with an Apple OS X wallpaper.

I'm click the link, so excuse me if this is not the area. I recently bought a Cing. 8700c to replace my sister's malfunctioning 7100t (T-Mo)and was told there's a "Unlock code/ configuration" but for the past several weeks I've been unable to get it.

I ran across your success this morning but I'm still not clear on how it's done. Could you give me that info, if it's available?

Thanks,

Andre
