Michael Small of BlackBerrythemes.co.uk has just released updated versions of his free Blue Today theme we mentioned previously. The theme now comes in a Grey and a Pink version. It still looks just as good and the same comments apply but now we have a bit more variety. I still really like the header bar [...]

One of our readers Rubin sent in a great theme called MacBerry Zen. It is truly just another Apple knock-off but it does look nice and clean so I thought it worthy of mention.
The icons are custom which make it look really nice. The top bar is true to the mac style but I am [...]

Have you ever tried to buy a phone at the retail prices? I have. I purchased an 8700 once from AT&T for $450. Then the 8800 came around with an even higher retail price. On top of that Sprint just upped the retail price once again. Their upcoming device the 8330 will retail for $749.99!!!
The [...]

Michael Small the admin of www.blackberrythemes.co.uk just released a hot new theme called Blue Today that I really like. I wont really elaborate much but this theme just looks like you should be paying money for it. The icons are stock but the top bar is just very nice and subtle.
Sadly the theme is only [...]

One of our readers who likes to call his/herself “anonymous” sent in this really nice pink theme. I thought the theme developer Tammy deserved some recognition because it has some really nice styling. I already had my friend install it.
The irony of this whole situation is that I did not even know what John Deere [...]

One of our readers, Jeremy, just sent this one in. Larry Farmer struck again after releasing his WinIphone theme last month. His latest creation is called Aqeulla Slax Linux and is based on Slax Linux look and feel. The icons have a really slick look and feel and the title bar is very nice.
It may [...]

OK, so this theme is definitely more for the ladies but in this seemingly somewhat male dominated world of Blackberry…I feel it’s my duty to enforce ‘girl power’ whenever I can :0)
Amaranth Zen is a fairly new theme from Bplay.com and is available for the Curve, Pearl, 8700, & 8800 series devices. It has a [...]

One of our readers just brought to my attention a iPhone-like theme that I actually like. My problem with most iPhoney themes is that I find it very difficult to figure out what icon is what application. This commercial theme fixes this problem by putting the name of each app underneath the icon. I know [...]

John of JC Designs just emailed me to let me know about his latest creation, the Retro series of themes. The theme is available in today, zen, and icon formats for most of the recent devices.
The theme has some great clean lines if you like red. Personally I think he should come up with some [...]

I was just reading on BlackBerryCool that there is a new cradle in town for the Curve that is moderately priced. You can pick it up for a reasonable $26.95 from the BlackBerryDen.com.
Personally I don’t get the hype about a cradle. I used to hate when I had to use the cradle for my older BlackBerry. [...]
