One complaint from the last BlackBerry Porsche P’9981 theme leak was that OS 7.1 was not supported. The latest download supports it according to OSBB. Also, the theme is now available for the BlackBerry Torch 9850 and 9860. The cool thing about this theme is that the media player has been skinned too. This is something we’re not used to seeing in themes, but did for the first time with the Porsche theme. Anyone with a Torch, try it out and let us know how it works!

So here it is.  The BlackBerry Porsche P’9981 comes with a customized Porsche Design theme by default.  Of course themes aren’t officially available for the BlackBerry Bold 9900 and 9930, but some devs have made magic happen.  If you wanted to get the Porsche Design theme, now’s the time to grab it as it has been extracted out and made available for all your Bold 9900 and 9930 owners.  Click the link below to download.

Bplay started off with a loophole around making BlackBerry 7 themes and launched Deck The Halls as their first supported theme for the OS.  Now it looks like there’s 5 themes in total which support BlackBerry 7 OS.  The themes supported include Deck The Halls, iBerry 2.0 Zen, Tinker Bell, iBerry Edge Zen, and Cosmos.  Click the link the below to check out themes, games and applications at Bplay.

Deck The Halls is a theme created by the folks over at Magmic.  It of course is inspired by the holiday season as seen in the screenshots.  Along with this theme release, we were told it works with the BlackBerry Bold 9900 and 9930.  The theme builder for OS 7 is still not out yet, but Magmic guys have worked their magic somehow to release this theme.  It’s $2.99 to buy from Bplay.  Click the link below to check out Deck The Halls theme and other great themes and games.

Thanks Bogizo for the tip!

For those still rocking OS 5 and OS 6 devices, you’re probably still taking advantage of themes available for your devices.  Retro 80’s theme speaks for itself- it’s a theme focused around the 80’s bringing back retro colors and style to it.  It’s really bright as you can see and the home screen brings your icons in a full circle around a cool design. Features include:

• Maximum Optimization to Prevent Memory Leaks.
• Bouncing Icon Dock.
• 7 icon Home Screen.
• Changeable app order.
• Wallpaper friendly.

Circulo for BlackBerry is great for those who use their smartphones for social apps.  With that said, you get easy access to Twitter, Facebook, BBM, settings, Clock/Date.  All icons are custom made for this theme so you won’t be seeing anything repeated here from themes on the past.  It’s available for OS 5 and OS 6 devices only.

Still no love for OS 7 users, but there’s plenty of other BlackBerry users not on the new operating system which can still enjoy them! Here’s one called 8bit, which is of course based off of the old school Nintendo gaming system.  Features include:

• Customizable icons on screen (5 for touchscreen devices, 6 for keyboard devices)
• 5 fixed icons on bottom – left to right (manage connections, options, power off, profiles, search or Universal Search for OS6 devices)
• No transitions
• 8 bit icons to match the old school look
• Wallpaper friendly

Best of all, it’s free to download! Click the link below to download a free copy today of 8bit from the PocketBerry Store.

We already got the word from RIM that they are having issues with BlackBerry Theme Studio working properly on OS 7 devices.  There was no turnaround time given out publicly, but CIO got some inside info which indicates the launch date will be sometime in mid 2012.  Not the best news theme builders want to hear of course.

It’s interesting to see that the BlackBerry Porsche P’9981 uses another theme other than the stock one that comes out the box.  According to RIM, they have an internal theme building tool which they used to develop the custom Porsche theme for the P’9981.  Of course this tool is not available for the public yet and as mentioned earlier will be sometime in the spring season.

Some of you BlackBerry users may play Angry Birds on another device you have which can be a tablet, iPhone or Android.  Others may be just fiending for it to launch on BlackBerry smartphones (or the PlayBook even).  Here’s a theme dedicated to the famous Angry Birds theme which has evolved into a culture that includes a series of games, clothing, and more.  Devices supported are the BlackBerry Bold 9700/9780, Torch 9800, Curve 9300/9330/8520/8530.  Click the links below to check them out.
