Hey guys. My iphone 4 got stolen last week so I decided to pick up a bold. In fact I'm typing with It right now! What do I need to know about it? Is there like a jailbreak or whatever or does blackberry not need it? Where can I download fonts and which font do you guys recommend? Where can I download themes and how do I install them? Thanks if help is possible. Hope I made the right choice for picking up a bb. I can type fast but my hand get cramps haha

There's no jailbreak as you can download and install any 3rd party app, I do not believe that you can get new fonts, but you can change the font by going options>screen/keyboard, and there's many sites where you can download themes from, i recommend downloading through blackberry app world or just find them and download them OTA through 3rd party sites.

There isn't really a "Cydia" for BlackBerries, but here's a site [not sure if I'm allowed to post it, but link can be removed if asked by a mod] that you can download FREE paid apps from BlackBerry App World:

http://www.bbsgame.mobi/

When you find an app you like, install it with [if you need any help, don't be afraid to ask ):

http://bbsak.org/

You can download fonts from http://www.bbsgame.mobi/ aswell, but I personally prefer the default fonts.

You can download free themes from:

http://forums.crackberry.com/f176/

If I may make a recommendation, I personally prefer this theme:

http://forums.crackberry.com/f176/re...themes-381041/

A very simple and clean theme that shows off your wallpaper. I've tried other themes, but I have always come back to this theme.

To install themes, open the OTA link that you want within your BlackBerry browser or Opera Mini.

Welcome to the BlackBerry side! I've had a CrackBerry for over a year now and I can easily say it's the BEST phone I've EVER had in my life. I've played around with my buddy's iPhone, but it's just not for me, you won't regret it. Enjoy the phone 737!

^lol thanks so much man.. that answered all my questions!
lol you blackberry people on this thread are so much more helpful than the iphone 4 guys lol..
loving the blackberry interface.. very fast and smooth.. only thing that really pisses me off is the loading times :/ i love the calendar i dont believe any calander out there is better!
right now the only cons about the bb is the loading speeds and lack of development in bb's.. but i guess i can live without the games and widgets.. ...for now... LOL..
picked up another iphone 4.. but the bb will always be in the car as a backup phone..
should i change the housing to red or pink..? LOL

http://cgi.ebay.ca/Full-Housing-Face...#ht_3818wt_911

edit: actually thinking about it, i might use the iphone as the backup.. the bb compresses the data.. the iphone is more for an enterntainment use..

If the loading speeds and bootup speeds are too slow for you, you can always download OS6 [if you decide to do so, we can help you with the install process]:

http://hotfile.com/dl/89231085/08c08...0.418.exe.html

I believe you're on OS5 right now correct? You can upgrade to OS6 if you'd like, however OS6 doesn't have any supported themes, so you're stuck with a screen like this:



I personally prefer OS6 over OS5 even if it means I can't change the theme. The good outweighs the bad

If I can make another recommendation order your housings from this site:

http://www.sw-box.com/wholesale-Blackberry-Bold-9700-9020-Onyx-Housing-Faceplate-Page-Full_list.html

I've found sw-box to be the best and closest quality to the original BlackBerry parts. Whatever you do...

STAY FAR AWAY FROM EBAY HOUSING

I've ordered from eBay sellers before and the quality of the parts are shit.

To answer your question...go with the full black housing, not the one with the chrome on it.

But if you MUST do it for the shits and giggles, go with pink

okay so i just ordered 3 housings lol
ive seen alot of blackberries with alot of random colors on them


okay that one was kinda ugly lol
thinking of maybe doing a hybrid with my initials on the squares..
but seeing that all the keys are attached together is it possible?
took apart the berry today and saw that the keys are glued to the sheet of rubber and kinda suctioned in
i wonder if i can take apart the keys and put my own choice of color keys on it?
i have donor berry to do it so not much to worry about if it fails..
you guys think it will work?
how bout if i just do it by rows?
the bezel wont be chrome btw lol
jeez im like the arash of blackberries LOL

Okay so.. Is there a way to view sites in normal view instead of mobile version? (For example view revscene in full instead of mobile version)

If you ever loaded os5 onto a 9000 its the same process. Just delete the vendor file and you're good to go.
