Over time we have had hundreds of requests to list all of our favorite themes in one place. Originally we created a very simple theme directory many of you are familiar with. I was not happy with that so we created a new beta directory of all the themes we have ever mentioned on BerryReview, WITH SCREENSHOTS! Pretty cool. We really have been pushing the envelope with what WordPress can accomplish. Please let us know what you think by leaving a comment! Also let us know if you think there should be more information such as the release date or the ability to rate the theme.
You can view the directory while it is in Beta at the following links below. The themes are clearly shown as free or commercial and you can sort by each column. I really hope you like it. Hopefully we will soon be adding the ability to submit a theme for consideration. We are starting off with the 8100, 8300, & 8800 series devices but the others are coming. If you don’t find a theme you like check out some of the professional themes by our sponsor Bplay.

Looks good so far!
The only problem I see is that there are screen shots of 8100 themes in the 8300 section and vice versa.

Steve,
I also noticed that mixup. Problem is that when I mention a theme that is compatible with more than 1 device series I only post the screenshots for one. I then wrote and app that grabs all of the pictures and compiles them into the listing. I imagine this will be a great way to let users know about new themes.

So much better than forum style.
Do you plan to make Blackberry browser friendly version of it without posts, etc.. on the right side column?

Hyedipin,
I am working on it. The problem is that many authors would not be so happy with me if I linked directly to the theme downloads. I am trying to think of a way around it. Got any ideas?

Yeah, I realized that last night (ideas seem to pop up right before I go to sleep). I am not really sure about that, it would take awful long time to get permission from them, if any allows at all. You cannot host the themes, since some of them has dependencies on other servers. I guess just making it a bit simpler, and keeping the links to places where they are originally hosted would be good enough for now.

Great theme directories, took some time to browse and well worth it! Good job, I like the mix between free and commercial themes!
