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:
Apple iPhone
BlackBerry 8120
Sony Ericsson W910i Walkman
Motorola Razr 2
The results are staggering in favor of the BlackBerry:
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 [...]

I have been asked countless times how to unlock all those slick themes on your BlackBerry. The nice part is that these well designed RIM themes are very good (I personally use the Vodaphone theme on AT&T) and are totally free once you unlock them. Until now there were instructions all over the place but [...]

Turns out the app is worthless and does not work. I guess I am back to using Seabyrds Video Converter. Thanks for the heads up Brian & Deb.
After months with no updates for Seabyrds Video Converter I am glad to see another contender offering a free BlackBerry video converter. Stefano has discovered a new [...]

First of all, for all the men out there this theme may cause others to question your sexuality. Artum at Gemblock has released a snazzy new theme called Pink Tourmaline Zen compatible with all the modern BlackBerry’s. The theme is described as “cute†and I will leave it at that. If this floats your boat [...]
