We knew that different colored 8130’s were coming but I had no idea that the 8830 was in for a color change. The 8800 series is more of a business device so I am not sure how well this will take off in Red. I have a crimson red 8310 but I guess RIM is [...]

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 [...]

We have mentioned quite a few of Michael Small’s themes before on BerryReview but I recently had a chance to check out his website www.blackberrythemes.co.uk. His new design has all of the available themes shown with screenshots. There are over 100 themes on the site right now and all but 1 or 2 of them are free. [...]

I know this is a bit of old news after we mentioned back in December that ColorWare was going to start doing custom paint jobs for BlackBerry devices. Well it has been a few weeks and ColorWare seems to have setup their website to accept BlackBerry pain jobs. They are currently offering the service for [...]

I know the big trend now is to target women with mobile electronics but this is just overkill. GeekSugar has the skinny on the new Gold Python BlackBerry Purse. This purse by Violet May in London is just plain Fugly. I don’t know a woman who would be caught dead pulling one of these out of [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
