New to the BlackBerry world...

Question about themes. I read somewhere that themes can make the device run slow. What are your guy's experience with installing different themes? I've seen some nice ones on elecite.com, anyone tried these?

I bought a Hedone Design theme from the CrackBerry store and my 'berry runs perfectly fine, not slow at all. So long as you have enough free memory, themes shouldn't affect the speed that much if at all.

I've had trouble with certain themes rather than themes in general. Now, I'm very ocd about how my phone is set up. Programs have to be in a certain order or in a certain folder. So that meant that everytime I got a new themes, I had to reset everything up. After doing this several times, I decided I really didn't like doing that.

On the other hand, I like things to look different every day. So I finally got smart for me and what suits me. I've download a gazillion wallpapers. I run only one theme which came with the phone with my apps and such arranged the way I use them but I almost daily change out my wallpaper. That suits me. Better, themes take up memory on your device whereas wallpaper lives on your SD card.

To me, that is better but as my mom used to say, different strokes for different folks. If we all liked the same thing, we'd be awfully boring.

It's been almost 1 month and I still can't put my BB down! I've never had this much fun with any other cell phone! LOL you want to know how bad it is? I was watching tv with my 2-year old son just now, and he looked at me and said "Daddy put phone on table! Watch" and he pointed at the tv! My wife was sitting on the dinner table and heard and now she's laughing her *** off! LOL. This just made me realize that I'm an addict!

I have had mine less than a week and I got the pay attention to me from my girlfriend yesterday...I found an old merlin game and took pics and was sending it to all my buddies while walking around

Once you switch over to a BB it's hard to go back. I switched late last year and I'm already wanting a new one
