As you all know, it was just opening weekend for Alice In Wonderland in the movie theaters.  A few months back, screenshots from the film were spotted online and Jennifer from Cool BlackBerry Themes had created some really nice ones based off of the hit movie.  If you enjoyed it as I did in IMAX 3D or even just normal, then check out the Alice in Wonderland theme.  The Alice In Wonderland theme is absolutely free to download and keep on your BlackBerry.  Devices compatible include 83xx, 88xx, 8900, 9000, and 95xx. Check out the direct OTA links below and select your appropriate device.

Introducing the next best theme from ock, here’s uBBuntu.  Right off the bat, it’s obvious to assume that uBBuntu is based of the famous sleek Linux OS Ubuntu.  If you’re a fan of the OS as I am, then you’ll definitely enjoy uBBuntu.  Before you read into all the ins and outs of the theme, definitely check out the transitions version.  Also keep in mind that you do get 22 homescreen shortcuts, without being all cluttered. You’ll know what I’m talking about when you continue reading and see all the screenshots. Hit the jump below the screenshots to check out the full features and link to purchase.

It’s been awhile but Hedone is back again rockin’ some more fashionable themes.  This one’s called Metalic for obvious reasons as you can see in the screenshot.  The best thing I like about the theme is that the home screen is really simple, sleek, and sexy if you ask me (whoa the three S words).  As you can’t see much on the home screen, when going to the app screen, you’ll be able to see all your accurate signal and battery meters.  Back to the home screen, you get six customizable icons along within the time and date above it to the right.  Hit the jump to check out features for each compatible device along with another screenshot to get a better idea of what to expect from Metalic.

HedoneDesign does it again! Everyone can use a fresh theme like BerryShell.  The background is very refreshing while the icons are all sleek and matching each other.  Having indicators both on the top and bottom is a real convenience and easy on the eyes where in other themes everything else is very much cluttered together.

Features:

  • clean and sharp design
  • compatible with 5.0 OS
  • multifunction icons (check functions pic in screenshots)
  • fast and user-friendly
  • today part of screen darkens when used from predefined icons
  • Price: $6.99

Forgot all these other themes out there that have standard rows of icons with a little bit more color and shape to theme.  DeskBB literally transforms your BlackBerry into an office desk as you can see.  Twelve icons are locked and loaded on the home screen where you’ll then get two customizable icons out of them all.  DeskBB is only $1.99 til February 14 where it’ll then get bumped back up to $3.99.

  • Experience: What I really love about this theme besides the fact that the home screen gets a huge face lift, it’s the receiving call theme.  It’s as if you’re not even on a BlackBerry where you see an actual BlackBerry phone come up on the screen with the caller ID on it.  Very clever theme makers behind the scenes!
  • Compatibility: Bold 9000, Curve 8900

Now here’s a theme with some nice options and widgets most haven’t seen implemented on a BlackBerry.  Before most of you get worried, this theme is for both touch screen and QWERTY BlackBerry smartphones.  Here’s a quick walk through for trackball/trackpad navigation:

  • Theme Button 1 Up to Notifications Tab (tab will come down to show invisible button is highlighted) Then Click
  • Scroll Down to get to messages on navigation screen
  • Scroll Right from messages to get to calendar
  • Scroll Down from messages/calendar to hidden today or Close notifications button (if no messages/events are displayed will go straight to close button)
  • Scroll Down after clicking on Close to get to Theme button 6
  • shift + A launches about screen
  • shift + S launches google search
  • shift + H hides google search
  • shift + G shows google search
  • $ = profiles
  • Spacebar = QuickLaunch Shortcut

Our friend Eric over at Obstacles Can Kill has just released one of his famous themes to the PocketBerry Store that we posted here over a week ago as an early bird freebie.  Don’t bother trying to go back to download it, because the link is no longer active! For all those who are unaware of the theme, it is been influenced by Mac OS X and in my opinion, looks sexier than it.  The theme is unique as it gives you 4 home screen icons, one of which is folder where it reveals a few more customizable apps in a pop up window.  The best part is the lock screen where it looks just like the Mac OS X login screen.  All the icons are very clean and sleek, and be prepared to launch this theme with full speed as you won’t have any lag or memory leaks here.  Sure you’ve seen many OS X themes out there, but have you really seen one with an exact replicated top bar as Mac OS X itself?  Usually icons are ripped and background images are changed, but this theme is  brilliant and rich with exclusivity. Grab your copy today at the PocketBerry Store for only 99 cents as it is on sale til January 11th.  After that, it will be bumped back up to $5.99.  Hit the jump for more screenshots, compatibility, and store link.

Compatibility: 85xx, 8900, 9000, 96xx, 9700, 95xx
