A BlackBerry theme for every city

Posted by Joe on November 20, 2009

BlackBerry themes have been a prominent topic this week. It started on Wednesday when, as we do every other week, we reviewed three premium BlackBerry themes. Two of these were created using BlackBerry Theme Studio 5.0, so yesterday we went over how to create your own BlackBerry theme. I kiddingly urged someone to make me a custom theme, but I think I’ve found something to keep me occupied for a bit. Via BBCool, I found out that Bplay has launched a series of themes for cities around the world. Yeah, I’m totally getting the New York one, pictured below.

Create your own themes with BlackBerry Theme Studio

Posted by Joe on November 19, 2009

As mentioned in yesterday’s theme review post, RIM recently released BlackBerry Theme Studio, an application which allows anyone to create new BlackBerry themes. While we’ll always appreciate the work of the professional designers who create vibrant premium themes, we also know that many people have an idea for the perfect theme in their heads. I know I do. There have been a few themes that have come close to that, but none have been the perfect Joe Theme. If you’ve been longing for your own perfect theme, and you have some time on your hands, you can now give it a try.

Theme Review: GreenTech, Winter Wonderland, Liquid Chrome

Posted by Joe on November 18, 2009

Over the weekend I had a big choice to make. As I mentioned Monday, I got a BlackBerry Tour on Saturday. After I set up all the technical aspects, I was left with a decision over which theme to choose. I went through a bunch of our theme reviews, and eventually cape upon something interesting. Apparently, I said that I’d load up the Aliencology theme once I got a Tour. So, true to my word, that’s what I picked. It’s just as awesome as I remembered. But, I still want to find alternatives. It’s not perfect, at least for me. I think there’s a perfect BlackBerry theme for everyone, and that’s part of the purpose of this feature. Let’s see if you find yours this week.

Theme Review Wednesdays: VistaLike, Wood Work, Metalic

Posted by Joe on November 4, 2009

How do you choose your BlackBerry theme? Do you just pick ones that look nice? Or are you loyal to a particular developer? When I search around themes for these bi-weekly reviews, I admit bias towards developers. For instance, if Hedone comes out with a new theme between these features — as they did this past week — I’ll mostly likely review it. Ditto for developers like Cherri Chiodo. I feel like I can go to them for solid themes every time. This week, though, I’m going back to a few old friends who might feel a bit neglected, BlackBerry Theme Park and Gadget Bean. I’ve enjoyed their themes in the past, so let’s see what they’re offering this time.

Theme Review Wednesdays: Halloween edition

Posted by Joe on October 21, 2009

Since this will be our last theme review feature before Halloween, we’ll highlight a troika of spooky BlackBerry themes. It’s also good that we do this early because, really, who wants a Halloween theme the day before? If you’re into the kinda-sorta-but-not-really-a-holiday, you probably want that theme for a few weeks. In fact, you might already have a Halloween theme loaded up. Maybe you’ll find a cooler one here. In fact, since we’re leading with Hedone Design, I bet you do.

Theme Review Wednesdays: Rollin’, Day of the Dead, Equilibrium

Posted by Joe on October 7, 2009

How many BlackBerry themes have you used in the past year? Do you use the same theme for a while and then switch? Do you rotate between a handful of themes? Either way, there are plenty of options to choose from, and it’s our goal to highlight the very best with our bi-weekly feature. These theme designers work hard to provide functional, attractive themes. So if you’ve been stuck on your current theme for a while and want to change the way your Berry looks, check out our crop of three — or, really, any set of BlackBerry theme reviews we’ve done.

Theme Review Wednesdays: Crimson, In Words, Mac OSX Mini

Posted by Joe on September 23, 2009

This week I decided to check out what themes some other BlackBerry blogs were featuring. I hit upon a pretty good lot. It actually took a little time to whittle them down to three. And then, of course, I found a killer theme on Themes4bb, and I just couldn’t pass it up. So there are two themes which were featured this week on other BlackBerry blogs, and then the one from Themes4bb. It promises to be quite a theme exploration.

Theme Review Wednesdays: Simpsons, SummerSpirt, iSwirl

Posted by Joe on September 9, 2009

I hope you guys find some use out of this bi-weekly feature. Surely not everyone picks up all of these themes, but I think it’s a quality showcase of the premium BlackBerry themes out there. Yes, there are free ones, but I try to pick premium ones which stand out from the free crowd. I think we have three such themes this week, including one which I stumbled upon and absolutely love. From an aesthetic standpoint, at least.

It’s old school here today at BBGeeks’ Theme Review Wednesdays. We’re going to three of our oldest contributors: Themes4bb, Cherri Chiodo, and JC Designs. All three create and distribute excellent themes, and we’re lucky to have them among the top BlackBerry theme creators. We’ll take a look at new ones from Cherri and Themes4bb, and a top-seller from JC Designs. As always, it promises to be a theme-filled experience.
