Other than the Crossbar theme being re-released Bplay let me know that they have also re-released their cool Explorer theme. This theme mimics Windows Vista in every which way. The view starts as just a start bar like Windows that pops up and gives you a whole menu of options. It looks almost exactly like [...]

I know quite a few of you have been mourning the loss of the game-changing Crossbar theme that Bplay released and then had to pull. It had/has a slick carousel Zen menu that is just awesome. One of my contacts at Bplay just let me know that the Crossbar theme is back and this time for good. [...]

Larry has just released another theme for the 8300 that really caught my eye. With this new theme you have a whole new meaning to going green. I had a chance to install it on my 8310 and loved the look. The top bar looks very neat and clean with a slick battery meter. The [...]

Zach just let me know that he has just released a new commercial theme called bOSX. It is obviously designed after the Mac OSX and looks quite good. The top bar is gorgeous and very cutting edge. The icons are standard OSX and look sharp. The menus mimic the OSX feel many of you like.

Since y’all know I’m a big fan of NancyDrew themes (and I know there are many other fans out there as well) I check her site frequently. I was happy to see she is now creating themes that work on OS 4.5, like this recent one called Bold Pink Bottom Zen Theme for the 8300. [...]

UPDATE: From what I am hearing the current implementation of Nuance on the Bold is just a replacement for the previous Voice Signal voice dialing application. There are rumblings that it might be extended to device control.

I just got an email from David that the owner of BlackBerryThemes.co.uk decided to make all of his premium themes for the 8300 & 8800 now free. While I feel bad if you purchased them already this is great for the rest of us. These are not the newest theme out there but they [...]

Nanko Rusev of PhoneArena has been keeping his ear to the ground. He found the AT&T Bold approval from the FCC on their site. This is the AT&T version with UMTS 850/1900 which will be different than the T-Mobile version since they run 3G on a different band.
I guess this means that we will be [...]

This is one slick theme that long time BlackBerry theme creator Larry farmer just released. It is appropriately called Blue Wind and is a bottom dock theme. Bottom dock essentially means that it is a Zen theme with the icons on the bottom instead of the side. The custom icons look great especially with the [...]
