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.
Kisai Labs quietly snuck a much needed update of their must-have BlackBerry app Show Me the Images (SMTI) out last night. The new v1.3.50 should be showing in your available updates in BlackBerry App World by now.
The new version brings with it a couple bug fixes, better OS 7.1 support and a simple UI repair to the safelist bar. One of the bug fixes was the existence of the bar in OS 7.x as well as now having an ability to back up and restore your settings.
Full v1.3.50 list
° Better OS 7.1 Support – safelist bar & minor fixes
° Updated safelist bar
° Backup and restore fixed (SD Card required)

I’ll be the first to admit that before apps like this existed, I really didn’t use my BlackBerry for taking pictures. Screenshots sure, but not pics. Photo Studio PRO takes an ordinary picture and makes it extraordinary! 
My favorite new feature with the latest v0.9.8.25 is PicFrames. Without-a-doubt a very original and simple treat. Like you can see in the image in the giveaway post, this is quite cool. But before I get ahead of myself, allow me to announce the winners!

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.

“Angry Farm was released a year ago this month and Smarter Apps is going to celebrate with a new version of Angry Farm for the BlackBerry Nation!

No this is not another instant messaging service. Ekboo – Crypto Chat is much more clever than that in my opinion. Ekboo is all about data confidentiality. The application communicates using encrypted messages with RSA asymmetric key algorithm.
Sounds a little confusing, I know. But the idea is pretty slick. Especially if you prefer to keep your BBM’s private. Maybe your working on a Startup, or plain don’t like the idea of the people in your office, home reading your BBM messages.
Features
° Communicate using encrypted messages with RSA asymmetric key algorithm
° Exchange of keys on the fly
° Notifications, in a transparent manner to the user, communicates the receipt and reading of every message sent to the recipient even in case of temporary unread messages
° Textbomb
° Remote Clear Chat
° Panic Button
° Pin Lock Chat

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!
I kept changing the title of this post to say “Photo Studio PRO & FREE version updated to bring some awesome new features, or “Photo Studio..” but it was too long. And the bottom line is I love the new Photo Studio: PicFrames addition! Upon other improvements.

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.
