So this is the first Indiana Jones game for the BlackBerry. Just in time with the movie release. I remember playing Indiana Jones on my 486. Its an adventure side scrolling game that looks really cool with Indy’s whip and all. I just hope they got the controls right. Sadly there is no trial but hopefully [...]

Urbanimpulse has released a hot theme for the BlackBerry 8300 & 8800. The theme has a very clean and slick top menu with translucent background. The profiles icons looks really good.

I know this is not a new piece of software so hold your horses. I got two emails from readers recommending it and I noticed we never mentioned it on BerryReview… So I thought what the hell.
Boopsie, like Beyond411, lets you do searches with the application trying to autocomplete the rest of your search. Not [...]

Everybody always gives us a hard time when we mention yet another weather app but I don’t care! I believe in variety being the flavor of life. This latest weather app was created as an internal project by the good guys at NorthCubed and they have kindly offered it for free to the general public. [...]

Do you remember the days when it was impossible to get an instant messenger for BlackBerry since there were no clients? I remember looking for one for my 7230 back in the day. The best I got that year was Webmessenger.
Well, the tables have turned since and now we have an overabundance of IM applications [...]

Zach (the Z Man) just released a slick new theme that breaks the boundaries of standard BlackBerry themes. This theme reminds me of some of the Plasmic 4.3 themes that got pulled recently.
The theme is like many other Vista themes with cool translucent areas. The icons remind me of the iPhone. But the surprising part [...]
