There doesn’t seem to be any change logs here, but Gameloft has gone ahead and updated some of its popular BlackBerry PlayBook games including N.O.V.A. 2 HD, Let’s Golf 2 HD and UNO HD.  All three of these games have been updated to version 2.0.  Perhaps this update is for BlackBerry PlayBook OS 2.0, although the games seem to be working fine on the beta.  Either way, the updates are in App World.  Grab them!

The folks over at BB-Freaks released a few free themes of BlackBerry 7 smartphones.  Compatible devices include the BlackBerry Curve 9350/9360, Bold 9900/9930, and Torch 9810/9850/9860.  Of course these themes are called “Basic OS 7 Series” so they are fairly basic and good for those who want a slight face lift to the over all user interface.

If you thought AT&T’s previous limited data plans were bad, wait until you see these bad boys.  AT&T has upped its prices for all its data plans, giving you a bit more, but charging you for it as well.  Here’s the new plans for smartphones:

• AT&T Data Plus 300MB: $20 for 300MB
• AT&T Data Pro 3GB: $30 for 3GB
• AT&T Data Pro 5GB: $50 for 5GB, with mobile hotspot / tethering

Yikes! Really doesn’t sound appealing for new customers at all.  As for tablets (which doesn’t affect you BlackBerry users yet), here are the new plans:

• AT&T DataConnect 3GB: $30 for 3GB
• AT&T DataConnect 5GB: $50 for 5GB

Verizon also offers limited data plans, but who knows if they have plans on upping their prices as well.  As a new customer, I can’t imagine anyone wanting to switch to AT&T this point.  These new data plans from AT&T are launching January 22nd.

BerryGoodThemes (BGT) is offering one of their latest themes called Talke for free in BlackBerry App World for the next two weeks.  The description reads that you must leave a review to keep the theme free.  Any way, as you can see, the theme has everything customized included the fonts, icons, and colors.  No OS 7 support here unfortunately but there’s plenty of OS 5 and 6 users out there still.  Grab the theme while it’s still free!

Magmic has done it again and launched another theme compatible with BlackBerry 7 smartphones.  If you feel left out in the theme department, check this new one out.  Cosmos is a outer space style theme with home screen icons offered diagonally and all your notifications on the left side of the screen.  Might not be the exact theme you’re looking for but it’s still a nice face lift for your BlackBerry.  Check it out and download it for free at BlackBerry App World.
