It is almost easier to list what device OS has not been updated over the weekend. I am not sure if all these pre-OS 5.0 updates are a good sign for 5.0 coming soon but hopefully they are just clearing out the pipeline.
BlackBerry 8900 Curve OS 4.6.1.310 for the 8900 from AVEA
BlackBerry 8100, 8120, 8320, [...]
UPDATE: Sorry for the typo the new OS is 4.5.0.169 not 167.
James let me know that US Cellular has updated their OS for the 8330, 8330m, 8130, 8130m, & 8830. That brings them all up to date with the latest OS 4.5.0.169 which seems to be the latest OS available as far as I remember.

Hedone Design is back with their latest theme release called Digital. A mixture of colorful, swirly images and sleek bottom icons, Digital costs $6.99 and is available for a variety of BlackBerry devices. I am playing with the Bold version as I write this and this theme offers all the charm and swiftness that Hedone [...]
I got an email last night from Peter about Elecite’s latest theme release Opus. In actuality I was a little surprised as this look tends to differ from the stuff Elecite usually puts out. A rich, dark tapestry like background with an almost dual screen type concept…definitely an eye-catcher. I myself tend to like less [...]
Thanks to Twitter (follow me @vickypazz), my friend Ninja over at Ninja Themes has been keeping me in the loop on one of his latest theme designs, The Berry Electric. Available for the 8300/8800 (OS 4.5), 8900 & 9000. I got to play around with the Bold version and this is a very slick theme. [...]
Brandy, from Artistic-Me’s latest release is called Impressions and the theme itself does seem to make a nice one, going by the screen shots. I was not able to test this theme myself but I have used some of Brandy’s themes before and I suspect this one works as impeccably well as the others. A [...]
Hedone may have taken a hiatus a short while ago but he’s back now, and in a big way. This latest release, FutureX definitely raises the bar in theme concept designs. Available for a variety of BlackBerry devices including the 8300, 8700, 8800, 8900, 9000 & 9500, FutureX has a gorgeous wallpaper of spacious fields [...]
Tashanna let me know that Hutchison has released OS 4.5.0.161 for practically every GSM variant of the Pearl, Curve, & 8800. This is not as new as .163 for the 8310 but its the latest for all the rest.

Earlier this morning Raptor let me know that there was an Indonesian website that had OS 4.5.0.153 available for all GSM 8XXX series devices. He could not download them due to IP restrictions but it looks like he found a way around it! I have not seen an OS update for these devices in quite [...]
Tom let me know that Telus has officially released OS 4.5.0.160 for both the 8330 Curve and the 8830. That is the latest OS I know of for both devices and it is official so its worth grabbing.
Unofficial changes noticed:
Call timer on the Phone screen once again has a call that is in progress
Better memory [...]
He’s Baaaaack!
That’s right, after a mini hiatus, theme designer extraordinaire Hedone is back in action with his latest release, BussFast. A stylish, yet no-nonsense design, BussFast has a total of 9 user customizable icons; 6 at the top bar and 3 on the left bar. Time, date and message indicators are all neatly stored at [...]
I just love how some theme designers are thinking out-of-the-box these days. The guys at idberry are definitely at the helm of unique theme designs, at least IMO. One of their recent themes, PuzzleBerry is a mix of artsy style and colorful images…which incidentally can be your own. Let me explain…
On the home screen, you [...]
It was only just yesterday we did a mention about Elecite creating 10 of their popular themes for 8350i BlackBerry devices. Now, I must make mention of them again…this time eVeek…as they’ve just released their latest free theme LUSH. I haven’t even had a chance to take this baby for a test drive yet but [...]
Another theme site kicking out themes lately is Kissberry. This latest design, WM 6.5 Scroll Zen is all about the sharp fruit images and bright scrolling icon bar…the latter of which has 10 customizable icons which scroll seamlessly as you move about. The selected icon is clearly indicated with a large circle around it. I [...]
I had seen the iVista theme around and quite fancied its interesting design but I knew The Z Man (aka Zach) was making some interesting updates to it, so I was happy when he had it ready for me to do a review. Enter iVista2…available for a variety of devices such as the; 81xx, 83xx, [...]
These days it seems that the folks over at idberry are whipping out themes faster than ever! One of their latest, Sand!, has a unique and interesting design. The screen is filled with soft beach sand that’s gently dusts over a polaroid ‘image’…the image being whatever picture you put in there via your choice of [...]
The 8800 is getting a bit long in the tooth but this is the latest official update I have seen for it in AGES. Mauricio from BBRocks spotted this new OS 4.5.0.140 on the TIM Italy download page. If you want to install it on a different carrier don’t forget to Go to c:\program files\common [...]
First their was their PSB theme (made to look like your Playstation) and now there comes XBerry, made to look like what else? Your XBox. Designed for the 83xx, 88xx, 89xx, 9xxx & 95xx, XBerry features a lot of neon lime green and dark accents. I was able to play with the Bold version and [...]
It seems that the Themes4BB store (which has been down these past few days) is finally back in action with a brand new store site. Still selling their popular themes for most BlackBerry devices, this new site is more user friendly and faster all around.
To introduce their new site, they’re offering a brand-new theme, designed [...]
Kissberry sent in their latest theme design called, Blue Bubble. Available for the 8300/8800 (OS 4.5) and 8900/9000 (OS 4.6), Blue Bubble is an animated theme where soft bubbles trickle up along the bottom right hand corner every few seconds or so (not in locked screen mode). The animation is very subtle but offers a [...]
