I cannot count how many times I have been asked if there is a way to monitor data usage on your BlackBerry. I do not have this issue since I am on an unlimited plan but many other users in other countries are hobbled by limited BlackBerry data plan. For these users it has been a hit [...]

We have had quite a few requests from reader (the latest being from Delia) about editing their MP3 tags and album art for their BlackBerry.

Jenny has just released an great looking theme on BlackBerryForums that I installed immediately. The theme is made for the 8300 but it also has the WiFi icon for 8320 users. The theme has a very bold black and red look that I like. The icons could be better on the application screen but the [...]

I have been hearing some rumblings that we don’t cover 8800 series themes as much as we do the Curve and Pearl so I decided to rectify the issue.
