Premium Themes
Being a huge fan of quality products, I thought we’d better do a post on some of the new items MMMOOO has come out with lately. From FREE apps & games to some of the most fun themes, they’re building compatibility for OS7.1 devices (themes) & still bringing items out for OS4.5!
All of MMMOOO’s products can be downloaded either for free or for a decent price in BlackBerry App World. They’ve been offering full access to many of their premium products for a review in App World too.
BBThemes white-hot Seven Point Five theme hit v2.1 today. This update brings some subtle but nice enhancements and includes new support for OS6 devices!
Seven Point Five v2.1 is compatible with BlackBerry OS6 & OS7 devices. The full change log is listed below!
New to OS7 devices in v2.1:
- New folder UI to mirror OS2
- New tab UI in browser to mirror OS2
- other minor enhancements and icon changes
OS6 devices – New for v2.1:
- All the benfits of the OS7 version, now for OS6 devices
- All the menus themed to look like OS7 Media panels themed to look like OS7
- The ONLY theme to have menus mirror OS7
Is this the first BlackBerry theme to launch with compatibility for ALL OS7 devices? I think so. But I could be wrong. Far as I’ve noticed BEAT by Walker Themes is easily one of the most attractive. And that list is impressive. Besides 7.x he’s also covered all 6.0 devices as well.
BEAT is simple on only the icons. Leaving them along Walker focuses on the homescreen. Giving his signature style to your battery meter, signal meter and that hot hot Android style clock too!
Review of Cadencia theme from TheWorldofPootermobile
Reviewed by Greg Wesson (@lombaki)
Pootermobile was kind enough to give me an exclusive first look at his newestupcoming theme, Cadencia. While continuing to work towards BB7 themes though the “officially unofficial” workaround, Pootermobile has not forgotten the large base of OS5 and OS6 users.
Review of BlackBerry Theme “D-light”
Produced by The World of Pootermobile
Pootermobile churns out consistently solid themes with enough variety that there’s one for every Berry user. Recently, he dropped a little ditty called D-light on the Berry-loving world and I have had the honor of using it for the past couple of weeks. As usual when I review a theme, I looked at both form and function; form being the visuals and function being the day-to-day use; both as they apply to me.
bbthemelab has been busy in his lab lately, working on a BlackBerry PlayBook app & 2 hot new themes for BlackBerry 7 users! Both themes are currently for BlackBerry Bold 99xx series devices and will set you back just $0.99!
Seven – Blue (pictured above) is one of my favorite new themes by far. Sure it is simple enough but the subtle changes like the wallpaper, custom skinned calculator & custom bluetooth indicators make all the difference!
Valentine is finally a Valentine’s Day theme I can get down with! Much like the Seven series, this theme features simple but eye-popping tweaks like the red bluetooth indicator, red arrows in menu, red alarm clock indicator, battery, signal & wifi PlayBook indicators push this one above the rim!
MMMOOO busted out a pretty cool theme called Hard Candy recently. Compatibility with OS 4.6 straight up to OS 7.1. 3D-like icons, lots of color laid over a sleek black wallpaper. They were chill enough to share 10 copies with our readers, so I thought we might announce them.
As far as devices go, they’ve covered every device from 6.0 down and then BlackBerry 7 devices specifically Curve 9350, 9360, 9370, Torch 9810, 9850, 9860, then Bold 9900, 9930 & 9981 series.
10 contest winners are…
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!
