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 [...]

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 [...]

Gregg has just released a great Coca-Cola styled theme for the BlackBerry 8800 on Themes4BB.com. The theme has the classic Coca-Cola logo as the background and is accompanied with silver icons. The only fault I saw was that the icons do not look that sharp as you can see in the screenshots. I think this [...]
