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 [...]

Plazmic Theme Builder version 4.3 is still in beta and out of the hands of the general public. (Groan!) That has not stopped Jason Calhoun John Choong (Sorry to both parties for mixing up the name. I was misinformed) from pushing the envelope and releasing one of the hottest BlackBerry themes on GadgetBean.com using [...]

Wu-wei has followed up on his older themes with a new lighter theme appropriately called “Brighter.” The theme is available for 8300 devices and 8800 devices running OS 4.2.1. It has a nice minimalist feel and seems to be a play on the RIM logo in the background. The author focused on very striking fonts [...]

Right after I posted about Gary’s Cowboys theme I discovered that he has also released a free Chicago Blackhawks theme. I guess Gary has some loyalties (or friends) in Dallas and Chicago. Hopefully Gary is working his way through more teams as we speak.
The Chicago Blackhawks theme follows the same style as the Cowboys but [...]

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 [...]

eVeek.com has just released another great free theme for the BlackBerry 8300 Curve and 8800 series devices. The theme is just a regular icon theme with no today or zen screen. The green coloring is quite hot and is my favorite color but I really wish they would have stuck with one shade. The dark [...]

It came away without a scratch! I cant count how many times I have dropped my previous BlackBerrys. my 8700 & 8800 were littered with scratches on the side. The 8800 was the worst when it came to dropping because it would scratch the chrome on the sides and just look ugly. The most durable [...]

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 [...]

UPDATE: This theme does not seem to be free anymore. I updated the title and post to reflect that. Thanks Tyler!
Eveek.com has just released a slick modern theme called BlackPack. Personally I am not fond of the items on the today screen but the look is very impressive. It looked hot on the 8800 I [...]
