A lot of people rag on the 85xx series low screen resolution, but themes like this just prove that the perceived limitation doesn’t hold back a great looking theme.  If you want to add a little bling to your Curve screen, but still keep it tasteful, I highly suggest you take a look at this free offering from the forums.  Featuring some slick looking gold icons, and stock meters shaded gold for effect, the homescreen has 10 user-defined mini icons located in a hidden dock. A weather slot is included, and a clickable clock rounds out the function.  A solid offering, and better yet free, you can download it today from the following link.

There’s no official video for this song, so just close your eyes and listen

As BlackBerry users we’re more than often told that we spend too much time on our devices. Granted, there are some out there that do take it to the extreme, but I think that the majority of us give it the attention that it deserves. We’re not neglecting anyone, just making sure that everything that is important to us gets their fair share of our love. The usual conversation starts as follows:

“You’re on that thing again?!? Put that @$!%&#* phone down already!”

“It’s not a phone, it’s a BlackBerry!”

The other day, while I was searching through the “intertubes”, I came across an artist who was pining for the attention of her lover. Her name is Tynisha Keli and her song is coincidentally called BlackBerry. She seems to humanize the BlackBerry, even comparing it to the “other girl”. As the saying goes; if you can’t beat them, join them! My wife did and is a happy BlackBerry user.

Some people may like the feature RIM added that automatically checks for OS updates for your phone when you plug it in. I for one find the prompt quite annoying since I am usually running the latest update and don’t want to waste time waiting for the check to complete.

RIM has kindly provided a registry change that will let you disable this automatic check for OS updates. You can still do the check by manually clicking “check for updates” but you will not be prompted every time you start Desktop Manager.

Its as simple as going to:

• Start Menu->Run
• Type in regedit to open the Windows Registry
• Navigate to:
  [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Research In Motion\BlackBerry Auto Update]
• Locate the value called EnableAutomaticChecking and double-click the name.
• Replace the value of 1 with a value of 0.
• Restart BlackBerry Desktop Manager.

Here are a couple of walls that I’ve made during the last couple of days..
