The BlackBerry 8110 Pearl has finally been released on Australia’s largest telecommunication carrier, Telstra.It’s about time. Talk about dragging your feet… I wonder how long it will take them to release the 9000 when it finally gets released.Anyway, it’s available now from their on-line shop or at any Telstra Shop across the country…

One of our readers, Joe, let me know that there is a great follow up to the Today Plus Theme we mentioned for the 8130. RIM also has a hidden version of the Today Plus Bottom dock which in my opinion looks much cooler. I do have confirmations that it works on the 8130 and [...]

OK, so this theme is definitely more for the ladies but in this seemingly somewhat male dominated world of Blackberry…I feel it’s my duty to enforce ‘girl power’ whenever I can :0)
Amaranth Zen is a fairly new theme from Bplay.com and is available for the Curve, Pearl, 8700, & 8800 series devices. It has a [...]

I know a few of you were complaining back when we announced the availability of the Today Plus theme. Many realized that RIM did not offer a version for the 8130.
Well one of our readers, Brent, managed to figure out that if you play with the URL for the theme a bit you can get the download [...]

One of our readers just brought to my attention a iPhone-like theme that I actually like. My problem with most iPhoney themes is that I find it very difficult to figure out what icon is what application. This commercial theme fixes this problem by putting the name of each app underneath the icon. I know [...]

John of JC Designs just emailed me to let me know about his latest creation, the Retro series of themes. The theme is available in today, zen, and icon formats for most of the recent devices.
The theme has some great clean lines if you like red. Personally I think he should come up with some [...]

This latest theme from Visto Themes has some nice and large icons and a really slick header bar. I am not the biggest fan of the bland background but that is easy to change. The large icons are a matter of choice. Personally I like the smaller ones but the larger ones are easier on [...]

I ran into a really cool theme that tries to reinterpret one of my favorite themes yesterday. This theme VODAfauxN is Constabl’s Zen version of the Vodaphone green today theme that I use quite a bit. The theme might not have the same features but the polish looks really nice. Not to mention the fact [...]

Artistic-me.com released this theme a bit ago but I finally had a chance to try it out myself. She has been burned recently by others stealing her work and has decided to go premium with some of her themes so I thought I would show her some credit for a theme I find very [...]

This is a short one guys. Gary at ViralElectronics managed to snag a copy of the new AT&T rebate form that features the so far unreleased 8110 with a $50 rebate. I guess that means AT&T will be getting the 8110 very soon to compliment their already stocked 8100 & 8120 devices.
I guess AT&T is [...]
