[suzanne031704]

ok, i know some of my questions are probably gonna seem like dumb ones to the crackberry genius, but please bear with me, lol. i just got a bb and know nothing about them, trying to learn though. i have a 8230 pearl flip and would like to get a new theme. have no idea what im doing! can i download a 8220 theme for this phone, or does it have to be specifically for the 8230? i really dont want to mess my phone up. where is the best place to find really cool free themes for my phone? anyone looking to mentor a newbie? lol.

I just want to add a note of caution (sort of--) It's been my personal experience that many themes that are posted as compatible with the 8230 have only been tested on a 8220 running the 4.6.0 OS. This has led to me getting my hopes up and wasting my time on themes that eventually just would not work properly (although no real damage was ever done to my phone.) So if you want to save time in the long run, I'd check to make sure it really has been tested on a 8230 and a 4.6.1 OS. So far about I'm batting about .125 with this.
