When I'm on my phone, I'm either: on the web, on facebook, on aim, texting, or reading news articles. That's enough to keep me occupied during down time.

what was wrong with your storm that you already have another phone coming? just curious

Yes, to remove them, Options, Advanced, Applications, scroll to it, menu key delete what you download.

Its best to keep 1 or 2 only 3rd party themes on there, memory thing ya see.

I get one I like and use wallpapers to change it up.


I get my themes from here

Themes4BB.com| Free BlackBerry Themes|New BlackBerry Bold and Storm Custom Themes

also Pimp My Berry! - Pimp Your BlackBerry!

BlueRoomSolution

Cool BlackBerry Themes

wallpaper threads and sites
Share your favorite wallpapers

Zedge | Free ringtones, themes, wallpapers, videos and games for your cell phone - Free your phone!

Make sure the Themes you download are for your operating system, or they will not work. (they wont show up in the theme section, but will in applications if this is the case)

Okay for a music player you could try Flipside.

For internet radio try Flycast.

For games try wap.getjar.com (they have apps too) problem being some don't work completely right with Blackberries, but some do.

A good website which I think may have been mentioned was Vuclip web video search (called something else now) but you can download the videos or stream them. It pulls videos from Youtube, FunnyorDie, etc. Flickr is out there aswell for pictures and Geotagging and all that fun stuff.

Hope I helped some.

Thanks for the hepful link and apps... btw its nice to find someone else who has us cellular out there.... i live in western maryland and i think uscc is pretty much just here in a little bubble of an area including western md and eastern wv. otherwise, u'd probably have to go to the midwest to find it. but anyway, thanks.

Hey all i saw this theme and installed it, here is a link

bPhone -- an iPhone theme for BlackBerry | RogersMJ.com

i installed it on my 8330 and works and looks great

[westernmd68]

thanx...so that theme was free? i guess so as it did ask for donations...i wonder how many he gets? but anyway... i bookmarked it just in case but i think i might just download the javelin theme (curve 8900 os 4.6 replica) but if that doesn't work out i will definitely turn to this one! btw... i heard about a week ago that the javelin theme was at one point free but all the sites now point to a new paid one... i have no problem with paying but i'd love to be able to find a link to the freebie...if it still exists

i sure hope your not being sarcastic or anything cuz that would be rude

p.s. just in case your not being sarcastic... i have an ipod touch to take advantage of all the apple apps (or at least the non-phone ones)

Ok so this confused me at first...people keep saying it's free, but everywhere I've checked it says 19.99. Apparently that's only if you want the additional radio. Does anyone have an OTA link for this player?

[Prafeston]

Ok...downloaded xPlayer...not all that impressed. I didn't try the different video formats, but I was already disappointed in how you manage the media. I liked having artist/song/playlists and such on the BBMedia Player. And I couldn't find a way to load all my songs in at once. There is no select all option...

US is actually CDMA

these are just icons, but its a start, just email to yourself, they are OTA installed.

Could anyone give me some information maybe on how to make icons like this? I would love to have a Chase.com icon in my applications menu.

It's not that great as a music player. But you can put avi movies on your microsd and watch them on your phone. That's the only reason I use it. Watch any TV shows I missed throughout the week

As for MP3 players, you could try FlipSide or MiuTunes. I don't use either, but a quick search turned those up as pretty popular.
