Hey, I just got my blackberry 8330 curve from verizonwireless today.
I tried downloading the themes from various sites, and they all said they successfully loaded as "apps" on my bb. but when i went to go options>themes, nothing was there. I tried pulling out the battery for a while, still nothing. When I go to connect my bb to the computer through USB cable and desktop manager, and i select updates, It says I don't need any.. i think im already running on 4.5 OS. when i go to options>advanced>applications on my phone and it builds up the list, all the apps running successfully on my bb like "maps" "messenger" "app world" have a 4.5 next to them..but all the themes ive downloaded DO NOT.. for example
com_plazmic_theme_Location ..version: 2009.05.13.1150
Neon Epress Icon .. version 2008.04.12.2237
etc.
I'm so new to all this, and I just want to get cool apps downloaded? If i'm making no sense, just ask me more questions. is there anything i can do to resolve this? It seems like alot of people have themes working on the bb so I know its possible

Here's a good link on themes that might give you better insight. If you still need help post back...
So basically I have to download a theme that is compatible with 4.5 OS? Where can I find them? Cuz the three last ones I downloaded, I think from gemblock and sm0g never worked..?
I am a newbie but I have downloaded a few themes, and various apps and noticed instead of getting the icon I sometimes notice the theme goes to my media / my pictures and from there you can assign only happened a few times though.
you probably dont have 4.5 loaded on you curve cause i know when i got mine it had the old one you have to go to the blackberry website and download the new os
From the first post it appears that the OP has OS 4.5. But just to make sure vrb0332 go to options>about and tell us which OS you have. Or you can type the word myver and hit spacebar in a text to get your current version.
yes ive been trying that all day. (I'll try it again right now)
I've even tried hooking it up to the computer with the USB and updating my applications, but it says not updates are needed. When I clicked "advanced" on the desktop manager, it does show the themes i've downloaded, but they never seem to appear on the phone
Ok so I just need to reinstall OS 4.5? Is there a detailed tutorial that tells me how to do so because I personally have know clue how to do so haha and I don't want to nuke my device.
Themes are a real pain on the 8330. If you don't have a download manager for ota files then you might need to connect to ur pc and explore the memory card. Take the zip file off the memory card and put it on your desktop. Unzip the file, connect your desktop manager and use the add remove programs function in there. Once there hit the browse and direct it to the un zip folder and it will find the themes to install. Hope it helps.
Wait I have a question for the post above. I'm still in school so I really can't try anything but..I don't have a memory card? So is that why themes aren't working?
Should I try first doing your advice with the desktop manager and unzipping files and if that doesn't work should I try reinstalling the system OS 4.5?

You really need to get a memory card or forget about downloading anything and I am speaking from experience. There is so little space onboard that if you download anything you seriously risk performance degradation. Even a small 1 or 2 gb card would be extremely benificial.
