If you’re jazzed about the Touch Diamond, but have a thing for albino devices, a Danish site may have unearthed just what you’re looking for. According to HTC-User, the company will be introducing a white version of their popular touchscreen device come October. We can’t say for sure if this intel is pure gold or a pile of festering garbage, but if the pics we see (just renders right at this time) and the retail order page the site is linking to are any indication, this magic will be a reality sooner or later. That’s a good thing, too — you don’t want Apple cornering the market on white and black touchscreen phones, right? Check out one more very big picture after the break.

Update: Engadget Spanish has confirmed that these are — in fact — the real deal, and will be headed to store shelves come October.

After weeks of hand-wringing, we’ve finally settled on a winner of our contest for LG’s uber-limited $1,500 Iron Man edition Shine! We asked you to send in pictures of the busted-up pieces of garbage you call “phones,” and holy cow, did we get some doozies.

Without further adieu, our winner, Mark H., comes to us from Novato, California. in this place’s his story:

“I need a new phone as you can see. I have had this Nokia phone since 2001. I’m in the military service and my friends make fun of my old phone and at this time they’re really on me since my phone was run over by a car and I use electrical tape to keep the faceplate together. I don’t get payed enough by the service to buy a nice new phone.”

Congratulations, Mark! Even if this relic were in perfect condition, it’d still be time for an upgrade. Let’s try to keep this one a little less scuffed, because that solid gold battery cover definitely does not live up to the “Iron Man” name. Follow the break for some honorable mentions — you guys made it really hard to choose!
