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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
