Hey, guys, first post. I just got my first Blackberry (a curve 8530) a few days ago and I'm already loving it. I'm using it pretty heavily so battery life is a concern for me, but the battery bar indicator is pretty lame compared to the percentage you can find with alt+shift+H or at options>status. I'd rather just see it on my home screen, though, without having to go look for it. I heard there are themes that display the battery life numerically, but I'm having a hard time finding any on Crackberry or anywhere else. Does anyone know of any?

Yes! The CB2 theme does. It's free. I can find you a link for it.

Keep in mind the battery meter on the home screen, even if it's displayed in numbers, is only as good as the themer who created it. It will not always match the Options, Status display. Options, Status comes from the OS. The home screen meter is a series of images created by a themer. They approximate the bettery level in 10% increments.

DREW customized a theme for me with the battery %age instead of the battery image. I love it!

Eminence for the 85xx does. It's not free, but it's a really great theme!
