Review: SENA BlackBerry 8100 LeatherSkin CaseRating: 8/10Cost: $49.99Website: www.senacases.com
I decided to follow up the last SENA LeatherSkin review with a simpler design than the Alligator skin model we reviewed earlier. This model scores half a point higher for having a nicer leather but the leather is still not the same quality as the [...]

If you don’t know what a privacy screen is let me explain. The idea is [...]

Guess, one of the gurus at BlackBerryFAQ.com, has created a wonderful How-To for disassembling an 8100. I just stumbled across it but it has been around for a few months now. I find these instructions useful and enjoyable because I just love to see the guts of my electronics.
The pictures are awesome but if you want [...]

It’s been there for a few days now but I completely forgot about it. The Magmic game Disco Bowling is now available for free in the BlackBerry Owners Lounge. Personally I think RIM could have done a much better job with the Owners Lounge but I guess we have to live with what we get.

Marc has released a slick easy on the eyes Zen theme on BlackBerryForums called SimplyGreen. The theme comes in all 8100/8300/8800 flavours. I liked the clean lines of the theme so I thought I would share. Sadly there are no OTA links and the Desktop links are provided using the free Mediashare service. This is [...]

Late in January we mentioned Michael Small’s website www.blackberrythemes.co.uk. Michael has over 100 free themes available on his site for the 8100, 8300, & 8800 series devices but the site was crippled by the fact that it did not work in any other browser other than Internet explorer.
Well Michael has taken our concerns to heart and [...]

VistoThemes.com has followed up its nice commercial BB OSX theme with an even slicker Trans Green theme. The theme is available for the 8100/8300/8800 series devices in Zen, Today, and Icon formats. The theme costs a cool $6 for each version. The icons are hot and the theme is just plain sexy. You will see [...]

Seidio has been keeping a close eye on the new BlackBerry Pearl 2 devices and noticed that many of the 8100 accessories do not work with the new models. For example the new external MicroSD slot and camera would be blocked by older cases designed for the 8100 series.
The have released a few accessories to [...]

After BBextras.com went dark a few weeks ago I know many users have been looking for a replacement OSX theme. While it is not exactly the same as Peters BBextras OSX theme the OSX theme from Hyda-Hq.com is actually quite slick and reasonably priced at $6.
The theme is available for the 8100, 8300, & 8800 [...]

Gary has previously released a theme that really impressed me but I never had a chance to share it with you. This latest theme released on Themes4BB is obviously based on the New York City cab experience and is just plain gorgeous in my opinion. The signal indicator is actually the fare with $50 being [...]
