    I just got a blackberry curve 8530 Never had a blackberry b4.. I have been trying to get some themes for it.. I have successfully downloaded some but when I go to options and themes they aren't there.. Where could they be.. How do I apply them to my phone.. I am so confused and just looking to get the best out of my new phone!

    Did you download them OTA ("over the air" aka from a link on the blackberry). Or did you install them via the Desktop Manager

    Were they for your device?

    For some more information about themes see the link for the FAQ listed below

    Do you have a link to the page you got them from?

    Also go to Options>Applications
    And see if they are listed as installed.

    It's because your message inbox is set to "combined".

    Go into Messages, Menu, Options, General Options, and set "SMS and Email Inboxes" to Separate.

    If it already is, the icon is probably just hidden somewhere.

    I just went to forums then down to where it says free themes then looked up the ones under my phone and picked the one I liked.. but you have to do it from your phone for the OTA ones the zip ones I dont know how to do yet.. then it should work and it should be in the theme folder.

    For zip files you download to your desktop, unzip, and install through desktop manager.
