It’s been there for a few days now but I completely forgot about it. The Magmic game Disco Bowling is now available for free in the BlackBerry Owners Lounge. Personally I think RIM could have done a much better job with the Owners Lounge but I guess we have to live with what we get.

GadgetBean has just released a new cool Mac OSX-like theme for BlackBerry called Dock Bottom Zen. The theme is available for the 8300, 8700, & 8800 series devices with the 8100 conspicuously missing from the lineup. You also need to have OS 4.2.1+ for this theme to work especially on the 8700. The theme is [...]

I’m on the mailing list from OtterBox and received a price reduction list for some of their products. Included in this list is the ‘Almost’ bullet-proof case for the 8700. The new price is just $29.95. That’s a whole lot of case for not much money… If you have never had an experience with [...]

Cherrichiodo.com has released a pretty cool free Valentines Day theme called Be My Valentine. The theme has a snazzy purple background which only those of the female persuasion could truly love. Cherri has kindly offered OTA downloads on all of the themes on the site (Over 20+ from my last count). They are also available [...]

Gemblock has finally followed up on their original Black Diamond Theme for the 8100 by releasing the theme for more devices. The new update brings the Black Diamond theme to the 8300, 8700, 8800 & 8830 devices. The theme has the same subdued look of the original Black Diamond and looks pretty slick. The whole [...]

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 seems to be working very hard on their OEM battery line for BlackBerry devices. This time they have outdone themselves by increasing their original extended battery from 1300mAh to 1500mAh. They claim you will be seeing 30–35% more battery life than the original 900mAh battery that comes with your curve. The best part is [...]

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 [...]

Simon at BBcool just caught wind of the 4.2.1 OS update for the BlackBerry 8703e. This is big news for Verizon and CDMA users since they have been left out in the cold since the GSM version of 4.2 has been out for months. The reason so many people care is that many of the 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 [...]
