Full Screen by CrackBerry Brandon
Brandon is the youngest theme developer I have come across, at just 16 years old. He created Full Screen for his 9000, then decided to port it for a variety of devices and share it FREE in the forums. This theme will appeal to many of you out there that want to show off your wallpaper to the fullest extent. As the name implies, the home screen is as blank as can be, with only the barest of necessities showing. Brandon made versions for the BlackBerry 9800, 9780, 9700, 9670, 9650, 95xx, 9300, 9100, 9000, 8900 and 85xx, on various OS'. If you are interested in checking out the theme, head on over to the forums at the link below. Be sure to drop Brandon a line and let him know how you like it.

Soundwaves is a theme for your 480x360 device on BB6 with a dock and today area that are hidden until you activate them. The dock features 7 user definable icons and the calendar has 7 entries.

EON HD by GDK Designs
Sometimes you see a theme and think "Yes! Why hasn't this been done before?" EON HD is one of those themes for me. The layout is really unique, with a 5 icon user-customizable dock, 4 large static icons for Settings, Google (browser), Maps (Google maps), and Gallery (pictures), and a spot for those of you using the full version of BerryWeather. (If you aren't using the full version, the weather icon won't show, as you can't set it to in the free version.) I love the coloring throughout this theme. Shades of teal and grey in messages, menus, dialog boxes, and focus icons make it a really nice theme for guys and girls. EON HD is completely FREE, and available for the BlackBerry Torch.

FutureBerry by Adastra Communications
FutureBerry looks like the Matrix, what more can I say? I've never seen anyone make better use of tilted icons, they look cool, and the theme still functions great. The green coloring is a nice change from the standard blue, and the fonts are user defined. The number of icons on your home screen will vary from 8-12 depending on your device.
FutureBerry is on sale right now for $2.99 (regularly $4.99) and is compatible with devices on OS 5.0 - 6.0.

PlayBook Inside by Walker Themes
Do you want a BlackBerry PlayBook? Well, we can't give you one yet, but this new theme from Walker Themes can put one on your BlackBerry. PlayBook Inside is a new take on the framed themes available out there, but instead of your picture or wallpaper going in a frame, it appears inside a PlayBook on your home screen! Everyone likes to have options, and this theme offers you some. The home screen has multiple views, so you can choose to have the PlayBook showing with your image and a dock, or without the dock. You can also remove the PlayBook image, and just have your wallpaper with or without the dock. The font has a cool futuristic look and you can hide the weather slot if that's not your thing.
PB Inside is available for $5.99 and is compatible with most devices on OS 5.0 - 6.0.
