Premium Themes
Elecite constantly brings a light to the unenlightened, point to the dull. This time we’re lucky enough to meet with Elecite on Phase a sharpened theme that is hardly a time of passing. Phase opens up new options. I’m a big fan of panel icons. Especially when they’re done at this level.

Phase gives you two home screen area’s.. Your first is the 6 large panels you’ll see right away. Handing you some necessary jump zones highly useful to the home screen. Need to call someone? Hit the address book and your halfway there. Schedule a shift change, yeah that’s the idea your a paw print away from the most well thought out panel screen I’ve seen to date.
Here is a new theme called Aurora Pink/Blue offered by JJames Design. Upon first sight, my immediate reaction to this gorgeous but not overstated theme is Pretty In Pink. The song begins to stream through my mind.
The homescreen makes me think directly of Andies prom dress, handcrafted with love and care.
Again I find myself gravitating towards another nicely finished BT Design theme. Here in the confines of the design known as Feeling Theme. The wallpaper you see is somewhat a familiar looking image. I can’t quite place it. Maybe it’s a BlackBerry Smartphone commercial.

Either way as with most premium themes by quality developers this theme has the option of switching out the wallpaper with your own. BT Design has also made a nice Black version as well. If you’d rather start clean with a sleek solid wallpaper. I prefer color when tempted myself . Although the cool rezn would tell you otherwise.
When I first heard the title of The Matrix theme I’ve got to tell you I was a lot of leary… Then MMMOOO reminded me what it “really” meant to be cute. The Matrix will embrace cute, since MMMOOO invents cute.

My BlackBerry Smartphone will have The Matrix theme. We look good in MMMOOO themes!
You will find the signature reminders throughout the theme of it’s film style inspiration. All of them will be a happy unboxing, I assure you.
My ever increasing enthusiasm in BlackBerry Theme Development lies smack dab in the palms of such awesome developers as BT Design. Their latest offering entitled “Region” centers the home screen around the WeatherBerry hot-spot and draws major eye sparklers with it.

A medium gray backdrop is the base at home, plus inside the applications, your out matched by the Neon icon-set along with nice neon under light at each icon while you hover.
Enter the stage, Hedone Design BlackBerry theme developers, and one of their latest installments in utter perfection. I said before and I’ll say again only once in a while is there a theme like Explicit that comes along and for many is unparalleled in comparison to any other BlackBerry Smartphone theme on the market.

HD, which has become like the Nintendo seal of approval is to gaming but Hedone Hawker’s seal for theme design. Aka HedoneDesign.
UltiMatte Nano is a yes sporting iPhone-replica icons, and UltiMatte Nano is Yes a theme of the highest calliber. From a red carpet “only” BlackBerry Theme Developer known to many as one name, and disguised to the masses as another. Ninja Themes evokes a type of film noir essence as he marches parades of happy cult followers around his heavy humor and always witty Twitter personality.

For safety purposes I won’t reveal names to follow on Twitter but I will reveal one kick ass theme to the Theme junkies, beta snatchers, and app update notifiers that fill the heart in me.
I first met the one they call “Ninja” whilst following a ReTweet thread by the awesome Vicky P. and I landed on a merry-go -round in heaven. Ninja Themes, a polite conductor at first took a couple swigs of his juice pack and he told me that he’d do me a solid if I did him one back. And I’ve forever been chasing the cat since.
Fuss is the speedy new theme from JC Designs – Gadgetbean. Fully preloaded with 4 different wallpaper options to make a nice package for your BlackBerry Smartphone. Set up with a multicolored icon-set that sports a rustic bronze-like finish to each icon of various color. 
Fuss is the theme right for JC Gadgetbean fans to surely rejoice at the sight of. Fuss is loaded with so many on screen options. You just can’t go wrong here.
“Faon” – The name sounds like some strange, foreign, powerful, ancient GOD, and you need to make sure you say GOD as that you are wielding a scepter.

“Faon” – The name sounds like some strange, foreign, powerful (yet, somehow sexy and strangely attractive) ancient (and potentially EEEEVIL – say it out loud with me – EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEVIL) GOD, and you need to make sure you say GOD as that you are wielding a scepter (with a huge stone –and let’s not forget LOTS AND LOTS OF SKULLS – who doesn’t LOVE skulls – carved into it).
But… It means “Fawn” or “Faune” (the mythical creature, who sadly, doesn’t have that previously mentioned scepter…or…even MORE sadly…the skulls…I like skulls).
Looking at it when I first installed I thought – what the *hell* am I supposed to do with THIS? TRUST ME – it’s not nearly as complicated as it looks (keep in mind that I have the mechanical aptitude of a jellyfish, which as you know, generally, don’t work as mechanics, FYI) and less patience than a brown bear (I am from Alaska – I know this).
“It will be difficult to find a similar theme on the market” is an understatement. “Elecite” is the *ONLY* other theme designer of this caliber (keep in mind, *with* Hedone, this makes TWO thus far – I am not saying that others are untalented, but Hedone and Elecite are the “standard by which others are judged” and I, as one who has put out FAAAR too much money on themes, know this firsthand) and even THEY don’t have anything LIKE this. *I* always try and keep an eye out for anything interesting or different (and, at the same time, will keep me from EATING my Blackberry – not terribly tasty…don’t believe me? Take a lick and get back to me…).
Looking back over the vast majority of Premium themes produced by Cocky Culture, you will find a comfort in certain things i.e. innovation, color, a dare to be different. Well this theme, Republika, is one of those themes!

It stands apart from the hum drum of life and really represents the Cocky Culture style. It is bold in the color, Bright sun, against a gritty backdrop of red and black. Giving you the feeling that you are taking on a hip overall feeling rather than slapping some pretty picture onto the wallpaper of your phone.
CockyCulture’s recent addition to a vast majority of different theme interfaces is miPhone a device knock-off as CC has coined them. Hot pink and cooler than a replica since Cocky’s style added quite a twist to the IPhone wave of BlackBerry themes.

His previous miPhone and miPhone BLACK appealed more to a male demographic. BLACK is still in Hot rotation for myself as well as is many others.
Well there is one thing that Tony never forgets to do often and that is, take care of the ladies. I notice many times that everyday female BlackBerry owers know Tony by name and CockyCulture. They make up a great deal of BlackBerry Smartphone owers so why wouldn’t a premium developer want to cater to them.
I have sat here staring at this screen for the last fifteen minutes wondering where, specifically, to begin on this review. Not many things really impress me and, certainly, even fewer leave me somewhat stunned. Form and function usually do not merge well with art – one or the other is a dominator and, even if slightly, negates the effect of the other.

You will find many beautiful things in the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA), but you won’t find many of them to be terribly useful outside of their artistic qualities and most wireless devices fall squarely into this as well. Many devices are beautiful but aren’t functional beyond that wherein the Blackberry’s only real beauty has laid squarely within its pure functionality. True, the operating system has become more and more refined over time, but beautiful is not, necessarily, a word I would associate with it. Theme designers have done everything they can to alleviate the banality of the day-to-day Blackberry “experience,” but too many have left in pieces of the original to give you the feeling of esotericism that should come with a true and full theme change. We live in a new age with these devices, their capability bordering on pocket-sized supercomputers and, finally, beauty has come to the new age of power.
