Theme Reviews
Nailed it! BBThemes took the stock 7.x OS tray style and hammered down one of the sickest themes I’ve had the pleasure of using. Seven Point Five is compatible with BlackBerry Bold 99xx series and has been on my device 99% of every day since he sent it over.
Admitting I am very snooty when it comes to my themes. I don’t mind the stock theme on BlackBerry 7 now, but I prefer to have the option to change the look of my device at any given second. Seven Point Five combines the look of the PlayBook OS2 icons/folders, BBM Music plus some sexy custom features most of you have never seen before..
One of my personal favorite Theme Builders, Pootermobile put together a ravishing new theme! Delicioso – Spanish for delicious is another reminder why we deserve to have themes for all BlackBerry devices.
Delicioso is compatible for all BlackBerry devices running OS 5.0 & OS 6.0! Knowing that many of our fans are still counting on our high quality reviews even those not yet on 7.x OS, we thought we’d better post this tasty treat up!
Good friend and big contributor @SamgbxDesigns pointed out Velvet, the latest theme from pioneer developers Elecite. Damn, it’s just another reminder that RIM has some of the most talented designers behind their products.
Velvet looks delicious. It is however only compatible with OS 4.6 to 6.0. Specific devices can be found in the tags below or the theme itself in BlackBerry App World.
VELVET FEATURES:
° Fluid Performance
° 6 Categories
° 7-9 Customizable Icons
° 16 Quick-Access Photo Icons
° Social Icons
° Weather Slot
° Intuitive Navigation
° Modern Layout Design
When it comes to themes, as I’ve previously mentioned, I’m a functionality guy. I prefer themes that get me shortcuts to my most used apps so I don’t have to go searching through the menu. With shortcuts, I can flip from BBM to SMS to FaceBook to Twitter and back in a heartbeat. It’s one of the things I love about my BlackBerry. Yet BlackBerry users use themes for many different reasons.
Some people use themes to change the layout of the icons. That was key back in the days of BB OS4 and BB OS5. My first theme was a Crossbar theme. I changed my Pearl 8100 from having 6 icons across the bottom to having 10 icons I could scroll through in the center of the screen. I loved it and immediately understood why people loved themes.
For a very limited time, BerryGoodThemes or BGT to many has released Talke a sophisticated new BlackBerry theme. Deep grey, red and laid over a charcoal black/black scheme!
Talke is FREE for approximately 2 weeks. Compatible with all BlackBerry 5.0 & 6.0 devices. Expect some 7.0 love soon. Trust me, he knows how much we (myself included) miss him!
I’ve been asking MMMOOO when, oh when will we start seeing some of your cute BlackBerry themes hit OS7 devices, and finally we’re stoked to say their latest, Hard Candy supports most BlackBerry 7.0 devices!
Hard Candy also supports all other BlackBerry devices beginning with OS4.6 to 7.0. Price $0.99! Specific devices on 7.0 are Curve 9350, 9360, 9370, Torch 9810, Bold 9900, 9930 & 9981 of course.
So many themes flooding up App World still, but most of them aren’t compatible with BlackBerry 7.0 devices? What’s the point really? Let’s be honest even if RIM hasn’t the resources to bring out a TS7 developers have found a way to make it possible. And we’re doing our best to highlight the themes you should download!
Leave it to drkapprenticeDESIGNS & Lucky45 to knock out something basic, but with enough tricked out flare to make your BlackBerry Bold 99xx stand out again! I’m talking about their latest MINI Banner theme & it’s FREE!
Okay this post got a tad postponed, maybe a week or two.. Apologies to those of you waiting for the MMMOOO Christmas Lights theme! We’ll surely make it up to you with more giveaways around the corner!
Besides the themes, we were also lucky enough to nab a few Slacker Premium Radio subscriptions. Each for one-month of their best premium radio service, playable across practically anything you own with an LCD!
Late in the year, Walker Themes did the Holiday act of offering several of their premium themes for free. Not being one to look a gift horse in the mouth, I snagged one that looked appealing to me with a plan to use it after Christmas (I had a Christmas theme that would not be replaced!)
Themes boil down to two areas as I see it: form and functionality. Form, how it looks; and functionality; how it works- for me. Remember that just as every phone won’t work for every person, every theme will not work for every person either.
BGT is on a slight roll at the moment. First he’s sharing all 25 of his best selling themes FREE for the holiday’s here. And now he’s whipped up a BlackBerry 6.0 theme titled Carrera that’s built with the new Porsche 9981 icons and made it FREE!
BlackBerry 6.0 devices only (yes even I am sad about this) but hey that’s still millions of people that can download a pretty sweet theme on Christmas Eve at no cost to them.
If you do happen to grab a copy of this sweet theme, please take a moment to leave BGT a review for his work. He did do this for us all on Christmas Eve. 
Grab Carrera FREE for BlackBerry 6.0 devices here!
That’s right you read that right! BerryGoodThemes let us know this morning that all 25 of his Best Selling themes in BlackBerry App World are Now FREE for a limited time here! Just in time for the holidays with Christmas almost upon us too!!
Most all BGT’s themes are compatible with BB OS 4.5 to 6.0. We’ve reviewed & covered more than any other blog too, so if your curious what’s the best or our favs feel free to check his tag here: http://www.berryfication.com/tag/berrygoodthemes/.

BGT’s 25 Best Selling Premium themes here!
One of my personal favorite builders and application developers BBThemes has been hard at work tweaking his style to make sure all the loyal BlackBerry Bold 9900 users got some high quality themes, and in time for the holidays he’s already made 4 of them!
The latest 2 are both my favorite themes from him. Snowy 7 is skinned with classic BB6 snowy icons, nice menu’s, crystal clear highlights and very professional. Small Banner 7 is simple, self explanatory but with a great deal of detail in area’s like focus, menu’s & all the intangibles.
