I am glad to say that after a couple of weeks of no Theme Thursdays (Oh the horror :O), it's back up and ready to go. I know you're keen to start, so well, here goes!

If you have been reading my past theme reviews (if you haven't, it's alright, I forgive you), you would notice a recurring feature in the themes I review. Whether it's the best selling theme in the BBOS store or not is not a factor in the desicion on which theme to pick, but I do have some 'rules', if somewhat very vague rules. The main feature I look for in themes is that it has to be somewhat original. The icons, the layout, the general idea, must be originally created. Ocean is one of those themes which scream out creativity.

Thanks to Vietnamese site, Tinhte.vn, we get to see a nice 7:41 minute video demo of the upcoming Curve 9360 device! The device is running the BlackBerry 6 operating system, so I imagine that it's an early prototype - which means the hardware could be outdated as well. They also do a quick compare to the Curve 8900 device. Check out the video above for all the angles, and be sure to leave us some feedback in the comments!

BlackBerry PlayBook Power Button Criticism Exposed

Were you under the impression from early reviews that the PlayBook's power button was basically going to be useless? After reading over many of the first reviews on the PlayBook, I was sold that I was not going to be using the power button, and that it was the worst piece of hardware on the device. Until... I got my hand on the tablet myself. I then realized that the PlayBook's power button is by far the best I have seen on a tablet. It does take bit more pressure to push than the iPad's power button, but that's what one would want in a power button to protect against accidental pushes. All the criticisms that it was "too hard to push", "had to dig my nail at it", "didn't stick out far enough", were simply over exaggerations in my opinion. As I demonstrate in the video above, you won't have to worry about using the power button. In fact, I never even noticed it was a problem since I laid hands on the tablet. How about you? Agree?, disagree? Let us know.

Wakai by Hedone Design is one of those themes that you love at first sight. Everything is professional-the layout, the icons, and all the other little pieces of this theme that make it a whole.

When I first used Wakai, I was amazed at how functional it was. Almost every useful application has a shortcut on the homescreen, which makes it extremely useful to the user. Messages, BBM, and even Ringtones are available on the homescreen menu, which shows you that the developer made sure to include everything the user could want. Continue reading review...

Douglas from Inside BlackBerry Blog goes over how adding Super Apps characteristics will extend the functionality and stickiness of a BlackBerry smartphone app. In the above video, Mike from Xtreme Labs shows how something as seemingly simple as a weather application can leverage Super Apps characteristics to become a valuable tool in your daily life. He also goes over the basic definition of what a Super App is in comparison to a regular app. Even better news, you can download AccuWeather for FREE in BlackBerry App World. Leave us a comment and let us know what you think of this highly integrated Super App!

With BlackBerry World 2011 behind us, we have taken a moment to reflect back on some good news that we missed last week. One demo worthy of showing is Poynt's integration of BlackBerry push services to their BB smartphone via PlayBook. With push services being one of the hottest items about BlackBerry, Poynt does a great job at utilizing this feature. In the above video, Peter Werry from Poynt, gives a walk-through of how their app works with push and other innovative uses of BlackBerry services. Poynt is a free app that you can download from their site or BlackBerry App World.

Are you a Poynt user? Leave us feedback on how the app works for you.

http://cdn.blackberryos.com/bbos-ima...-Deuce-u54.png

Created by Guzzl3r, Buuf Deuce is a theme which is originally named, in my opinion. This theme has almost everything that a theme buyer would want, including a really nice looking HTC-style clock, custom-made icons, a hidden today, and room for extra icons on the homescreen, while delivering it to you perfectly.

The first look at this theme will leave you with a feeling that it is clunky-in the sense that it's an eyesore. However, using this theme for a few minutes will most definitely prove you wrong. The homscreen features a HTC-style clock with a weather slot, a dock, a hidden dock, and a normal banner with a clock, date and weather slot. Above this, there is a hidden today feature-click on the notifications bar, and a today screen shows up, with previews for your calendar items and new messages.

Many keyboard shortcuts are included, which are:

alt+D shows the first dock.
alt+S shows the second-hidden-dock.
alt+C hides the HTC clock and shows the normal banner.
Alt+X hides the banner and shows the HTC clock.
And lastly;
The Escape button hides the dock that was active, so that you have no docks visible.

Fast and functional. Those were the first two words that popped into my head after 5 minutes of using Aero Center by KD Themes. This theme is perfect for everybody who owns a blackberry, whether for personal use or for business. Inspired by Window's Media Center, there are many things which make this theme unique.

The homescreen has numerous features, all which, in my opinion, increase the functionality of this theme. There is a vertical sliding dock, with sub-sections that contain all of the most-used parts of the Blackberry OS, such as SMS and MMS, Blackberry Messenger, and Sound profiles. When on the main 'menu', the user can select the app they would like to use by moving the trackpad left or right, or can select other sub-sections by moving the trackpad up or down. In addition to all that, there is an dock, where the first 6 icons on the application screen show. This, combined with the Windows Media Center-like menu, will render your application screen redundant.

How-To, Help, Tips

http://cdn.blackberryos.com/bbos-ima...0-0-56-bqt.png

Last week, BlackBerry Messenger v6.0.0.56 was leaked from an extracted OS 6.1 leaked build. Many individuals who initially tried to install it ran into bricked devices. Within 48 hours (thanks Poita316 & Firesail2010) we were able to create a step-by-step installation for our readers.

This new version of BBM brings tons of UI & tweaks that are much welcomed.

The ability to choose specific colors for each BBM contact is a feature that should have been included years ago! I find it much easier to differentiate between what I'm writing & what my contacts are typing back to me.

There is a slight lag within the application, but the overall use is smooth. Many are stating that they've had memory leaks or battery drain from this leak.

OS 6.1 icons abound & they bring a more friendly look to BBM.

If you wish to install this leaked version of BBM, please follow the instructions below carefully:

1. Make sure you have a Stock BBM (5.0.1.49 seems to work well) *Do NOT delete*
2. Install BlackBerry ID app (BlackBerry ID [OS6] - Downloads - BBH-Plus Forums)
3. Install BBM 6.0.0.56 (http://bb-h.me/bbm60056)
4. If prompted to overwrite, please say YES

Warning 1: This new BBM can only be installed on OS 6 devices. OS 5 is NOT compatible.
Warning 2: Although we have created a process that has been successful at installing BBM 6, the process is not guaranteed to work on your device. If you choose to install, BlackBerryOS is not accountable for any malfunction that may happen to your device.

Blink is a professional LED customization app for your BlackBerry that allows one to utilize the device's LED in a custom color for important contacts, social app, incoming calls, email and SMS. Get to know who's calling or messaging you without having to pick up your phone! Blink has 20 LED colors and 10 different speed modes to choose from.

This LED alert app is especially nice for those who like to leave their device on silent/buzz mode. This way you can set the LEDto a color of choice, and when it goes off you will know whether you missed a call, SMS, email, ect, just by looking at the light. For the price, Blink is a good alternative ($3.99) to the more expensive similar apps that are available. Overall good price, good features, and the developer is always on top of updating the app as well. Vikysoft, the creators of Blink, also offer a 7 day free trial. Can't go wrong to pick this one up for your BlackBerry.

If you are a fan of the BlackBerry charging pods like I am, you are going to love this. The charging pod holds the PlayBook at a slight angle just as the handheld pods do for BlackBerry handsets. This would be ideal as a nightstand PlayBook or as a dock while you are busy multi-tasking on the PlayBook.
