I have been asked countless times how to unlock all those slick themes on your BlackBerry. The nice part is that these well designed RIM themes are very good (I personally use the Vodaphone theme on AT&T) and are totally free once you unlock them. Until now there were instructions all over the place but they were not as detailed and thorough as the ones Rcbjr has posted on PinStack.com. Rcbjr calls the instructions straight line and he details step by step with screenshots how to unlock these vendor themes.
Check out the full instructions here on PinStack. Thanks for the great writeup Rcbjr!
NOTE: Rcbjr does not recommend you do this on your nice and shiny 8130 Pearl since there have been conflicting reports on whether it works. Your new 8130 may end up being FUBARed.

Just a question: What is the purpose of unlocking the vendor theme? I don’t get to “what is the result of unlocking the vendor theme” ?
Could some one please post a few info?
Please dont mind for my dumb question

First of all I define a dumb question as one you know the answer to. Since you obviously do not know the answer your question is not dumb.
Unlocking vendor themes allows you to use the themes from other Wireless carriers on your device. For example if you have an AT&T BlackBerry Curve it comes preloaded with only the AT&T themes. If you unlock the vendor themes you will get access to all the other great themes RIM has developed for other wireless carriers such as Vodaphone, T-mobile, and Rogers. I love these themes and they are completely free as long as you follow the instructions.
Hope that helps!
