I was just emailed a tip by Bob about a new wallpaper and ringtone site designed for BlackBerry devices. There are hundreds of ringtones and wallpapers here. I am not sure about the licensing…but the selection is great.

Brandon has released another free theme for all you BlackBerry 8100 Pearl users. The theme is compatible with both OS 4.2 and 4.2.1 but the OTA link only works with OS 4.2.1. I like the newly redesigned OTA site he just put up where you can download his older Theory themes. Check it out at [...]

I stumbled by a new knowledgebase article on RIM’s website that explains how to fix the issue and get your messenger back working. It seems that if you upgrade from 1.0 to [...]
