Here is your chance to win a copy of the new Linux (Xubuntu) style theme we mentioned yesterday. As promised the author, Scott, has kindly offered to give a copy to two lucky readers. The theme is very slick so I hope you enjoy. You can see more about the theme on our original post.
Here are some screenshots of the theme:
What you have to do to be eligible to win:
Post a comment to this post with the nickname of your BlackBerry. If you don’t have one make one up, just please don’t call it crackberry! You can post as many comments as you want but only the best will be held for consideration. We will judge the nicknames based on originality and a couple of other proprietary algorithms. (Mostly based on whether they make us laugh) 
Get your comment in by 11:59PM on Thursday March 20th 2008 to be eligible. We will post the two winners (hopefully) next Friday March 21st. If all does not go well we reserve the right to reserve the right to substitute any prize for a screenshot of a clapping monkey or nothing at all. (Sorry it has been a long night) 
The theme is only available for the 7100, 8100, 8300, 8700, & 8800 series devices. You will get the theme in Zen, Icon, or Today style only. The install will be available OTA. You will also have to abide by the authors terms of use which mostly state that you are not allowed to share the theme with others.
So hit us with your best shot…

From day one, it has been my “Ball & Chain.” My bosses (both the daytime and nighttime ones) agree, so it has stuck.

I feel the themes look GREAT! I like thetodayt theme the BEST. I works great with my @ddiction to my Blackberry; especially when I use Linux for my personal use. My Blackberry is called “Crackberry” because it is so @ddicting… I never put it down. I think that I might have to go to REHAB! :-O

I call mine MOTHER. It’s more a reference to Alien’s ship computer than Norman Bates– although sometimes I am a tad overprotective of and psycho about her. =) I’m constantly checking with MOTHER on a daily basis.

The other day my girlfriend asked for some jewelery for her birthday. I told her I would love to give her a nice pearl necklace. Zzziiippp. It wasn’t exactly what she had in mind. So I handed over an old 8100 and told her I’m trading up to a new model.

I have two Berries, so two nicknames: Iggy and Ziggy2. But the story’s a little convoluted:
I named my first 8830 from VZW after Ziggy from the Quantum Leap series. What couldn’t that “little” handheld do on that show? Personally, I think Ziggy was a futuristic pimped-out Blackberry, but that’s just a theory of mine…
Anyway, since my Berry could do almost anything, the name seemed like a natural fit. After I dumped VZW for T-Mo, I decided to name my Curve “Iggy” as an homage. Then…my place of employment gave me an 8830 from…you guessed it, Verizon. So I named that one Ziggy2 (in honor of the 8830 I had to return to VZW when I jumped ship).
So that’s the story of the two nicknames.

“TaserBerry” just a small joke with the guys at work. I work for a sheriff’s office and whenever someone asks me a question I usually “draw” BlackBerry before any realises it lol. A joke that just kind of stuck.

I have named my Curve, ,my extended brain’. I dearly value by bb as important as any tool I use to be successful during my work day. As a police officer I take full advantage of most of ‘my extended brain’s’ features from sending intelligence pix to fellow agencies to court date reminders to memos program used for investigative notes. Thanks for letting me laud this wonderful device. Take care and God bless. Tim
