Having a bad day today so im in complaint mode but anyway.....
Is anyone else slighlty dissapointed at the lack of Free Themes for the 8520??
After being with Nokia for years, i am used to having website after website with free themes, only to move to BB and find that they are almost all chargeable!!
not taking anything away from the the creators of the themes who spend time on them therefore wanting to get something in return but surely this is the same for Nokia but the nokia theme developers dont seem to want money in return!? (as a non IT person i am unsure but is there more work needed in BB theme developing??)
Do people think its becase the phone is still relatively new as i can see loads of free themes for other BB devices!!??
If there has been enough time for people to design Premium Themes is there not enough time for people to develop free themes??
I am disappointed in the lack of any kind of themes for the 8520. I don't see much to select from at all. I was looking for a simple blank screen theme to showcase my walls but it took a while to get one and several requests.
Beyond disappointed, you would think after paying sooo much money for your phone they would at least have themes for it. I check everyday and barely anything.
Not as hard as it seems, i made my first theme in less than 2 hours. The hardest part is working with the smaller icons, making your own icons is a pain, especially when the only photo editing program you have is MSPaint.

I am also disapointed but its for the lack of everything. I know once the other modes are released with the trtackpad apps will start rolling in but I'm just waiting.

There's a lot of free themes. Question is how many of them are ported for the 8520?
I doubt a lot of people have an 8520, hence you don't see a lot of themes like you would a 83xx Curve...

sorry, rant over.
Four free themes for the 8520. If you want them they are yours for the taking. I post themes for free when I had my 8320 and the 8800 and I will continue that trend with the 8520. My themes are as is, I will not modify for individual taste, it is what it is. there are no OTA files, because I do not know how to do that, I find uploading zip files easier and I do not have to worry about finding a hosting site, everything is onsite here. Just download the zip file if you are so incline and unzip it and install via DM or the apploader with opening DM, Which I always find to be a bit of a pain. Be patient.

I am right there with you! In general, I love themage for BlackBerry but having just switched to the 8520, I find the number of free themes sadly lacking. Whereas I could find a plethora of themes for the 8320, most of those I find for the 8520 come at a price.
I did discover one free theme that I absolutely love BUT it is a zip file and turned out not to work with my phone anyway. WAHHH!
DOH! posted before reading the last post... Anyway, here's what I posted:
I'm not sure if it works the other way around, but I have an 8350i and can use 8520 themes without problems. Have any of you tried 8350i themes on the 8520?
