RIM is giving away copies of Holiday Midnight Pool for the BlackBerry Curve and Pearl series devices. This game seems to be Gameloft’s Holiday Midnight Pool game for the BlackBerry.

I just found a great little website that has some nice BlackBerry icons for your Mac or PC. I just liked being able to set a new icon for the BlackBerry desktop manager so that it has a nicer feel. The icons are completely free but they do not have some of the latest devices [...]
