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 [...]

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.

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 [...]
