I know this is a bit of old news after we mentioned back in December that ColorWare was going to start doing custom paint jobs for BlackBerry devices. Well it has been a few weeks and ColorWare seems to have setup their website to accept BlackBerry pain jobs. They are currently offering the service for [...]

Since I wrote this post Peter has removed the purchase option from BBextras.com. Peter told me he has been forced to discontinue sales. Its a shame, these new themes were truly on the cutting edge of BlackBerry theme design. It is really sad to see Peters themes gone.
Peter MacDonald of BBeXtras has out done himself [...]

UPDATE: Theme appears to no longer be available. I have removed it from the directory for now.
Gary has released a free Dallas Cowboys theme for the BlackBerry 8100 and 8300 devices. The theme looks quite good and will be a hit for any Cowboys fan. The only complaint I really have is that the homescreen [...]

VideoForBlackBerry has just released their client that allows you to stream video to your BlackBerry 8130 Pearl. Once again the only reason it is limited to the 8130 is because it is the only device with the current OS 4.3 required for streaming video. Sorry for not putting any pics. It would take too long [...]

While I was strolling around the BlackBerry booth tonight at Digital Experience I found that RIM actually does have an announcement for CES. They will be introducing a new pink and red BlackBerry 8130 CDMA Pearl device. This confirms what BoyGenius reported yesterday based on Verizon’s website.
From what I could deduce from the PR rep [...]

Gary has just released a great Green Bay Packers today theme on BlackBerryForums.com. I am not personally a Green Bay fan but the theme looks really slick so I thought I would share it with you all. If you can deal with the logo on the device lock screen you can just change the background [...]

I just read a great post on BoyGenius about ColorWarePC coming out with custom paint jobs for the BlackBerry Pearl, 8300, & 8800. The paint jobs are scheduled to be available on New Years eve (12/31/2007). This is some great news for all of your modders who are too scared to point a spray paint [...]

Even has posted a great guide on BlackBerryforums on how to clean your BlackBerry trackball. This may interest many users including me since mine is already black from dirt and grime. The guide requires you to get down and dirty with your device with a screwdriver and a “spudger” (not sure what that is) so [...]

I have been asked countless times about how to encode video to play correctly on a BlackBerry. So I decided to write up a post with a short description of the 2 free pieces of software I use to re-encode video to play on my BlackBerry 8310 Curve. There are other commercial video encoders but personally [...]

Seidio has released a great low-price cradle for the BlackBerry 8100/8130 Pearl. The new cradle uses the charging contacts on the bottom of the Pearl just like the original BlackBerry cradle that costs more than twice as much. The new cradle. As usual Seidio has had the foresight to make sure that you can charge your Pearl [...]
