Josep just sent me a link to a new portal on RIM’s website for all the native RIM Instant Messaging applications. The applications are still restricted to specific carriers by service books but if your carrier does support them the links are now all in one place.
I also noticed on the AOL Instant Messenger page [...]

The developer seems to have removed her theme from Themes4BB. Until I hear otherwise I have removed the theme from the directory.
Update: An OTA link is now available on Themes4BB. Thanks Kasey for the heads up!
I was waiting for somebody to release a Christmas theme. Kase511 has just released a great Christmas styled theme for [...]

Its been awhile since we mentioned an 8800 theme but Moorken just released a nice Metallica today theme on BlackBerryforums. For all you Heavy Metal fans this is a nice throwback and has a very nice interface. I cant imagine installing this on my work BlackBerry but I know a couple of users who will [...]

I just saw a great new theme on BlackBerryforums by Styrizo which has a nice clean cut style for the BlackBerry 8100. I love the simplistic design and the very clear white on black styling. Personally the Bluetooth icon could use some work but otherwise I think the designer has some real style. The whole [...]

Gemblock has released another one of his much applauded themes called Black Diamond. This one is BB 8100 only with OS 4.2.1. The theme is quite nice and played down with no flashy colors like his horribly pink previous theme.
Announcement and download links including OTA download are available at this link: http://gemblock.com

Seidio seems to be working very hard on their OEM battery line for BlackBerry devices. This time they have outdone themselves by increasing their original extended battery from 1300mAh to 1500mAh. They claim you will be seeing 30–35% more battery life than the original 900mAh battery that comes with your curve. The best part is [...]

Stephano just pointed out a new theme to me on BlackBerryforums by General Mayhem. The theme is based around the old Ghostbusters movie and has a great nostalgic vibe to it that may appeal to some. So far there is no OTA option but the screenshots above and below should give you a pretty good [...]

Gregory A. Quirk just wrote a great article on EETimes.com that I have to share with you. He decided to compare the USB transfer speeds between the following 4 devices:

Apple iPhone
BlackBerry 8120
Sony Ericsson W910i Walkman
Motorola Razr 2

The results are staggering in favor of the BlackBerry:
The BlackBerry transfered at at average 13mb/sec compared to the iPhones [...]

Peter at BBextras.com has been busy developing one of the coolest themes I have see so far for BlackBerry devices. His latest creation is called Aero and is compatible with BlackBerry 8100, 8300, & 8800 devices. The new theme is obviously styled around the Windows Vista Aero look and even has a start menu. This [...]

Sadly my much loved BlackBerry 8310 rests at deaths door. The most knowledgeable technical support rep at AT&T told me to stop grieving and head on over to an AT&T corporate store and get a replacement. During the short 3 weeks that I had my 8310 it was my constant companion and source of joy. It hurts to so [...]
