Default Storm Themes - Let's hear which one you like best

First off, I must admit that I've been a BB user for about 4-5 years now, but I've always just used the default theme on my various devices. Now that I have a Storm, and after replacement #3, a Storm that is working well, I want to know what theme you folks are using out there, and why. Which is your favorite? Pros/cons? Does it increase your devices performance? Decrease?...

Thanks for the info. I'm looking to purchase something and would like some thoughts here.

I like the iBerry theme that's sold on Crackberry.com for $6. Another theme to look at is the bDroid.

Any of Hasting's AppleBerry themes. I'm currently using the AppleBerry Dark Panorama Expansion pack...lots of fully skinned icons, great performance and a little feature you have to see to believe.

Ok people, think carefully about the advice that you're giving. I don't think anyone should start off with a premium theme, start off with the free themes so if you decide that you don't like them a deletion won't be a waist of money. Also the type of apps that you have and OS that you're running plays a major role in the theme that would suit your needs.

I definitely agreee with shaydlife, if you are new to blackberry or have a new model phone you want a theme for i would try out the different free themes just to see what effect they have on the performance of the phone. but if you are just looking for a cool theme just pick whatever one you want but dont be upset when you are doing 2 battery pulls a day.

**This especially applies to the storm.**

I didn't like themes for sometime after getting my storm, because looks like the storm brought out the kiddy in everyone. Most if not all themes out there are colorful and fun looking. Hence it was hard for me to find simple themes, and I really wanted the appointments showing on the screen.

After having checked out all those hidden docks, bla bla type themes, I simply zeroed in on Blackberry Pro V3 Black and white 2 row edition. I love it because of that little bar on the bottom curtain. I don't think I lose any performance either.

Good one. Clean, functional, and sells for the low price of FREE.99.
