For some ridiculous reason RIM decide to restrict the availability of the three free holiday themes they released. At first they were only available to users in the US and Canada but now they have expanded them to more countries. (Thx iBenRowe) The crazy part is that each theme has a different list of countries where it is available. It makes me wonder what the hell is going through RIM’s head when they do these kinds of things…

Here are the themes and the countries they are available in:

It has been years since the last time I have heard of RIM releasing a free theme. They used to do it regularly on mobile.blackberry.com but with the advent of App World it has really dried up. While perusing App World I discovered that RIM has quietly released three free themes for the holidays. The only catch is that they seem to be limited to only US and Canada and seem to work with most OS 4.5+ devices except for the 88XX series and the new Pearl 91XX and Curve 93XX. Not sure why RIM would do that but I guess you cannot complain about free:

Here are the three themes:

• BlackBerry Exclusive Holiday Theme – Let It Snow Blue
• BlackBerry Exclusive Holiday Theme – Share The Joy
• BlackBerry Exclusive Holiday Theme – Happy Holidays Red

None of the themes have any reviews since they just quietly launched today. They are relatively small at about 500Kb and in the description they recommend you sign up at this link for more information in the future. Check out the full description below:

I had seen the iVista theme around and quite fancied its interesting design but I knew The Z Man (aka Zach) was making some interesting updates to it, so I was happy when he had it ready for me to do a review. Enter iVista2…available for a variety of devices such as the; 81xx, 83xx, 87xx, 88xx (OS 4.5) as well as the 82xx, 89xx, 9xxx & 95xx.

On the left side of the main screen, there are a total of (9) user customizable icons. The top (4) and the bottom (5) which are the first (9) icons you arrange on your application screen. On the right side, you have a clock (which actually tells the right time) the battery indicator, a calendar icon (when you highlight it, your calendar entries appear to the left and when you click on it, it takes you to your calendar) and just underneath, your messages icon. Whew! That was a lot to say…but in truth, there is lots going on in this theme. However, that said, the Bold version I tested was extremely easy to maneuver through. I have to say, I am pretty impressed with this theme. The more I use it, the more I like it!

Take note that the theme does vary a bit between devices (as you would suspect because of the differences in screen size, etc) but more screen shots can be found at this link.  So take a good look at the theme shots for your device before purchasing. And BTW, you can purchase the theme right in our Berryreview Store for $6.00.

This is a newer build than the .131 released by Sprint a bit back for the 8130. No word back yet on if it is better than recent builds but hopefully we will find out soon enough since .138 seems to be humming along just fine on the 8330s & 8830s.

To introduce their new site, they’re offering a brand-new theme, designed by theme designer amusic called TweetBerry. I think you can guess just where this is going…with Twitter being all the buzz these days, Chad and amusic thought they would create a tribute theme to honor the hotter-than-ever online social site.

With a home screen featuring 6 user-customizable icons and a color combination of light and dark blues, and little birdies all around, TweetBerry is a bright looking theme that resembles the look and feel of Twitter.

TweetBerry is available for the 81xx, 83xx, 88xx, 89xx & 9xxx devices (sorry not the Storm) at a special sale price of $2.99 (theme is regularly $6.99) in the new Themes4BB Store.

It was me who hit up Peter from BPlay this time wondering what he had been up to in new themes. Seems that they have been busy taking many of their popular existing themes and porting them over for the newer BlackBerry devices. Yet, in the mix, he had time to show us ladies some love with the iBerry Pink Zen theme.

Made up of soft pink flowery images and delicate matching iPhone-like icons, iBerry Pink is all light and airy in design, yet efficient in functionality. All in all, a really classy and elegant theme that gives your Berry a feminine touch… for those that want a feminine touch.

The iBerry Pink Zen Theme is available for the 81xx, 82xx, 83xx, 88xx, 89xx, 9xxx & 95xx for $6.99 at BPlay.com.

It’s always a treat when theme designer Brandy comes out with a new theme design. Her latest, ‘RegalBB‘ is all that and more. I was able to test the demo version for the Bold (which the only difference between the demo version and final version is that on the final version, the theme is completely wallpaper friendly) and it ran smooth and easy. The dark, customized, wallpaper background is very rich and stylized. The cool looking icons on the ‘platinum’ style bottom dock makes for a very nice set-up. Overall, an extremely well executed theme.

A brief description from Brandy’s site is below but more info can be found here.

Description: Regal is a retro inspired Bottom Zen theme that features a dark patterned wallpaper, accented by slick black icons and silver metal elements. It’s available for 81xx, 83xx, 88xx (OS 4.5), 89xx, 90xx (Bold) and 95xx (Storm) BlackBerry devices. (Theme is not compatible with the 8350i, sorry.)

RegalBB costs $6.99 and is available at Artistic-Me.Com!

Pink is for all the ladies out there who have been missing ‘girly’ theme designs for your BlackBerry. It comes in Bottom Zen and Today styles. I was able to play with this theme on my Bold and it runs very smoothly. The fonts in the ‘messages’ application for example are very ‘bubbly’ in style which, maybe be little hard to read for some, but go very nicely with the overall concept. The icons are basic ‘Bold like’ icons but highlight to cute pink flowers when you select them. A clean, yet pretty theme that’s available for 8100, 8300, 8800 (4.5) and 9000 devices and costs only $3.00 over at Sm0g.com.

I tested the Bold version and it runs really well for me.  On the main screen you have a bottom right dock of 3 icons. Note that they are not user customizable, and I wish they were, but they are the ‘messages’, ‘call log’ & ‘calendar’ icons so that might work pretty well for most. On the top, there is a red bar that slides back and forth in animated fashion and when you lock your Berry…a whole ‘lock down’ animation happens. The video below is a good depiction of how it works on my Bold, however it may differ between devices. Either way, definitely a different look in theme designs. XBerry is available for $6.99 right here. I know many readers think that’s a steep price to pay for any theme (that’s about the highest I go) but for those of you who would pay the price, it’s a sharp looking theme that runs very smoothly. Just be sure to look at the screen shots in the store before ordering as the styles and wallpapers do differ between devices.

Inspirat, based on Windows OS, is all about pop up menus (like the ‘start up’ menu that slides up on the main screen when you scroll over the bottom left icon) and translucent like icons. This is a very clean and crisp design. The 5 home screen icons are customizable and in the start-up menu you have access to the application screen, profiles, connections, media and control panel (ie, options). If you select ‘shut down’ you can either lock your Berry or shut it off. All in all, this is a very functional theme. Available for 81xx, 83xx, 88xx, 89xx, 9xxx & 95xx devices, Inspirat costs $6.99 at Elecite.Com.

Leopard theme, based on Mac OS, follows suit with simplistic style and smooth graphics. The hidden bottom “platform” dock (which slides up as you scroll down) has 6 user customizable icons and the whole theme looks very much like a mini-Mac on your Berry. All your signal/battery indicators and date/time, etc are neatly placed in the thin bar at the top of the home screen. A clean theme for Mac lovers, Leopard is also available for 81xx, 83xx, 88xx, 89xx, 9xxx & 95xx devices and costs $6.99 at Elecite.Com.

Nothing fancy on the icon set up, which is a bottom dock of 6 customizable icons, but on the main screen BerryCat’s eyes roll back and forth in animated fashion (both in home and locked screens) and there are other little features as well, which you can read below. I will mention the graphics on BerryCat theme, which are very sharp and colorful. Also, the theme works very nicely all around. It’s an interesting theme with its animation, but very clean in style… which I happen to like. Screen shots from my Bold are below.

FEATURES (from VikySoft.Com):

BerryCat is a funny looking cat we created. We make BerryCat lively on your mobile phone by using these cool animations:

The battery and signal levels are demonstrated with the open level of eyelids. When system status goes low, the eye becomes sleepy.
Teeth with a flash when you unlock your keyboard • eyes rolling all the time

I was excited when McKay at BPlay let us know about their brand new slide show style theme called, Cities of the World. If you remember, I did a post on their first slide show theme, SolarSlide not too long ago and really loved it! Cities of the World is based along the same lines, except that the wallpaper backgrounds are of the 20 major cities in the world! I was able to play around with this theme on my Bold and it’s a good size file, yet as I mention with their SolarSlide, does not seem to lag. Every ten minutes, the backround image changes from city to city including;  Bangkok, Barcelona, Berlin, Chicago, London, Los Angeles, Mexico City, Miami, Moscow, New York, Paris, Rio de Janeiro, Rome, San Francisco, Shanghai, Seoul, Sydney, Tokyo, Toronto and Venice. Gorgeous, breathtaking images and colorful ‘iPhone’ icons make this a winning combination that exudes rich style and creative design. Here’s your chance to travel the world without ever having to actually get on a plane!

Cities of the World is available for 8100, 8300, 8800 (except 8830) and 9000 devices for $5.99 at BPlay.Com.

Jennifer from Cool Blackberry Themes has sent in one of her recent themes called, Beatles. You can probably guess the subject of the theme without even seeing the screen shots but I’ll show them to you anyway. Based on the legendary band, this theme is definitely for all the Beatles fans out there. Even though there is a version available for the Bold, I haven’t had the chance to play around with this yet but I like the set-up on the main screen and her choice of images, icons and font style which go very nicely together. This is a free theme and you can access the 9000 version here and the 8300/8800 version here. (Just scroll down the page for each link to find the theme) As with many theme sites, registration is necessary to access these themes, but if it means getting them for free…might just be worth it for you.

I played around with the Bold version and I do like the overall crispness of the theme. The main screen has a bottom dock of 5 customizable icons and when you scroll all the way to the right, the wallpaper moves to display the other half of the background image and exposes another two rows of customizable icons. (Note that this feature is only available on the Bold & Javelin).

All in all, if you’re a fan of Google Android and want your Berry to sport its look, then this is a theme you should rock. For more info (and a link to a video) visit the purchase link. Droid is available for $6.99 at Elecite.Com.
