DaBlackPearl has just released 2 free Zen Themes for the BlackBerry Pearl. Both themes are based on the Transformers with one for the Autobots and one for the Decepticons. (If you don’t know what these are watch the “Transformers” movie) Personally I loved the action in the recent Transformers movie which reminded me how much [...]

Brandon has whipped up a great BerryReview theme for the holidays which we can all enjoy. The theme incorporates the orange and blue styling of BerryReview.com (which we know you have come to love) into a slick design. I personally just installed it and I am loving it. The today screen has got a nice [...]

Josep just sent me a link to a new portal on RIM’s website for all the native RIM Instant Messaging applications. The applications are still restricted to specific carriers by service books but if your carrier does support them the links are now all in one place.
I also noticed on the AOL Instant Messenger page [...]

I just saw a great new theme on BlackBerryforums by Styrizo which has a nice clean cut style for the BlackBerry 8100. I love the simplistic design and the very clear white on black styling. Personally the Bluetooth icon could use some work but otherwise I think the designer has some real style. The whole [...]

Gemblock has released another one of his much applauded themes called Black Diamond. This one is BB 8100 only with OS 4.2.1. The theme is quite nice and played down with no flashy colors like his horribly pink previous theme.
Announcement and download links including OTA download are available at this link: http://gemblock.com

Stephano just pointed out a new theme to me on BlackBerryforums by General Mayhem. The theme is based around the old Ghostbusters movie and has a great nostalgic vibe to it that may appeal to some. So far there is no OTA option but the screenshots above and below should give you a pretty good [...]

Gregory A. Quirk just wrote a great article on EETimes.com that I have to share with you. He decided to compare the USB transfer speeds between the following 4 devices:

BlackBerry 8120

Motorola Razr 2

The BlackBerry transfered at at average 13mb/sec compared to the iPhones [...]

Peter at BBextras.com has been busy developing one of the coolest themes I have see so far for BlackBerry devices. His latest creation is called Aero and is compatible with BlackBerry 8100, 8300, & 8800 devices. The new theme is obviously styled around the Windows Vista Aero look and even has a start menu. This [...]

PhoneScoop has just discovered some FCC goodness in a filing by RIM. This is that same 8120 WiFi-Berry you have heard about earlier. It seems that the upcoming 8120 will have UMA but as we mentioned earlier no GPS. The thing that always irks me about these new WiFi devices is why they sometimes come [...]
