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 [...]

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.

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.

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 [...]
