That's right folks, we're back in 2010 with a new FREE CrackBerry Holiday theme for your BlackBerry! With December here our holiday theme will get you and your BlackBerry into the festive spirit!!
Theme Credits: This year our friends at WJD Designs volunteered to put together the official CB holiday theme. WJD Designs was the runner up in this year's CrackBerry Awards Theme Developer of the Year category, and they're gunning to win it next year. So BIG THANKS again go to WJD Designs (store | twitter) who also had help from JP Designs (store | twitter) and Chris Bogart (twitter) in bringing the 2010 CrackBerry holiday theme together.
Compatible Devices: Storm 2/Storm1, Bold 9700, Tour, Pearl 3G, Bold 9000, Curve 8900, Curve 85xx. Note, the crew did work on a version for the Torch but with the theme builder being in beta it was very buggy (hurry up RIM!) and we don't want to release anything that's not stable. Visit the download page at the link below for more info.
That's it. Click the link below to head to the download page and enjoy the holiday season!!

Fnord Dec 3, 2010 at 4:29 pm

I got excited....then saw no Torch support. Get your asses in gear RIM!
motoroid7 Dec 3, 2010 at 4:02 pm
Looks good guys! I'm in the process of downloading to my BlackBerry Tour!
chrismage Dec 3, 2010 at 4:06 pm
Was really excited,then dissapointed that theres no torch.sob pls hurry
blessed2bamommie Dec 3, 2010 at 4:12 pm
Wow! The 8330 is officially obsolete! We were snubbed! I can't help it my contract doesn't expire til the beginning of next year!
icechilled Dec 4, 2010 at 8:54 am
Yeah it sucks we can't get this theme-looks pretty but you don't support the curve 8330. :*( it r a sad day when you find out ur obsolete.
adamnygaard1 Dec 6, 2010 at 5:37 pm
I'm pretty sure my Bold 9000 is on its way into obsolete land as well. I use a sim card so I'm not stuck with it for that reason. Being broke, that is the reason. Then I look at all the torch users on here complaining that they can't have this theme, just be glad you are not stuck with an older model like us.
r0gueleader Dec 3, 2010 at 4:16 pm
Torch users are going BAH HUMBUGGG
amittiwari Dec 3, 2010 at 4:16 pm
Awesome on my 8520. Thank you guys Thanks a ton.
Though has one bug. With sound icon on home screen but rest i am loving it.
scuebydue Dec 3, 2010 at 4:20 pm
Ick!
raptorstv Dec 3, 2010 at 4:58 pm
how bout for 9780???
JRSCCivic98 Dec 3, 2010 at 5:14 pm
Does this have the screwed up dial pad with the bottom keys cut off like all the other Storm themes do?
wayoung Dec 3, 2010 at 5:15 pm
Yeah, you have to scroll to the left instead of up to get to the sound icon. Your crackberry logo is a little to conspicuous for a Christmas theme as well ;p
Last, the camera icon is the same as the web browser icon - could be a bit confusing.
In general though, good job. I especially like how messages pop up on the screen without opening the folder.
greyhd Dec 3, 2010 at 5:31 pm
Nice theme. Only con is the sound profile Icon on the home screen.
Redz20 Dec 3, 2010 at 5:48 pm
looks great, it'll stay on my berry this month :D
chaloney Dec 3, 2010 at 5:54 pm
Nice. Finally a theme worth downloading! Nice work. The bottom quarter of the bottom row of the number pad is cut off in the phone on my storm2. They still work though
makaveli95 Dec 3, 2010 at 6:39 pm
Meh, last year's was a lot nicer. Make CB2 for Torch pls :)
Pilot Prop Dec 3, 2010 at 6:44 pm
Dang! I was about to download this theme too.
djdnz Dec 3, 2010 at 6:48 pm
Noooooo!!! I was actually going to download a theme for once until I read the line about the Torch. This looks really cool.
=( Well enjoy to all that can use it, it looks like a fun theme :)
lacandela Dec 3, 2010 at 6:50 pm
That's really nice of u its hard to see anything given away as a gift now a days
Thanks
mystro2b Dec 3, 2010 at 6:53 pm
Looks great on my Storm 2...any chance of posting the background wallpaper for those that want to use Berryweather with the background?
ignites Dec 3, 2010 at 7:15 pm

mystro2b Dec 4, 2010 at 1:30 pm
thanks!
cookney Dec 3, 2010 at 8:25 pm
nice, tho how did it take 3 people to make such a simple theme?
and pretty sure the torch version would work fine it isnt that buggy unless add crazy svg
storm05 Dec 3, 2010 at 8:56 pm
can't wait to have for the torch!!!! thanks!
BBThemes Dec 3, 2010 at 10:30 pm
as none of the themers have said it i will
Icons are from BBThemeLab, so credit to them for hosting them :)
tehmole Dec 3, 2010 at 11:07 pm
Awesome free theme. Thanks crackberry.
richv77 Dec 4, 2010 at 12:19 am
How can CB not offer a free Holiday theme for RIM's flagship device (9800)? I have used many themes offered here for sale and for free. Some were buggy and some were not.
What is taking RIM so long to release an update to their theme builder? I guess they are too busy buying up other companies :-)

n8ivegurl Dec 4, 2010 at 12:25 am
Oh well... Got me two themes tho very pricey. 1st is 7 Orch Holiday Red for Torch by RPM & the 2nd is Family Guy Xmas by Airborne Studios. Like I said they cost a bit much but I love these themes on my Torch and they're wallpaper friendly if you have other Christmas wallpapers to show off. It's my Birthday month so I splurged on myself! LOL
bahall Dec 4, 2010 at 12:44 am
Is it compatible with the New BB Style?
ctyus1 Dec 4, 2010 at 1:32 am
Cute and simple. Just what I needed for the holidays.
cmtangoe Dec 4, 2010 at 2:41 am
RIM needs to give us the good, good on the theme-builder!! I wanna Rock the Holiday spirit out on my Torch as well. Thanks for trying, guys- and for sharing with the BB community! Have a very Merry Crackberry Christmas, everyone!! :)
Lenoh Dec 4, 2010 at 5:30 am
Thanks team enjoying the theme,the message feature is cool, I will have to build something like that for one of my own themes. Happy holidays and thanks to BBTheme Labs as well.
JusticeCalibur Dec 4, 2010 at 6:16 am
if my 9700 was still rocking OS5, i would download this in a heartbeat for usage and collection. Thanks for the theme and the hard work put into it.
azie Dec 4, 2010 at 6:37 am
very dissapointed. it is ugly, uncomplete, with lot of bugs.
why sharing some half done job? can't understand.
Ferraro161 Dec 4, 2010 at 1:54 pm
Very nice and smooth, loving it for my 9700, thank you CrackBerry
boldone Dec 4, 2010 at 2:37 pm
Very nice, If you move some Icons and hide others clean it up. Put the Merry Christmas wallpaper Free download from Crackberry with it. Bold 9000, Thank you Crackberry
MarkInTombstone Dec 4, 2010 at 5:39 pm
I rikey the horiday teem
this_is_dave Dec 5, 2010 at 12:20 am
loving the theme!!!! thanks CB
Midnight Barbecue Dec 5, 2010 at 4:53 am
It looks nice except the gaudy Crackberry logo is a bit large.
I did not like the way it reset all my folders to factory defaults, I spent hours getting everything back where I liked it. I did like the preview feature when hovering over the message folders but the font is a bit hard to read, looks blurry.
Can't have more than one row of icons on the main screen and no clicking the screen to show them all, have to use the BB button.
Here's the deal breaker though: The browser won't open. All I get is an uncaught exception error that won't clear without a hard reset.
Had to uninstall, now my Storm works again.
Thanks though, would probably be nice on a device a littly less obsolete than mine...
av8ryxx Dec 5, 2010 at 1:54 pm
Perfect for the 9700. Uses the new icons without adding the 6.0 scroll bar which is NOT suited for the non-touch devices. Would love to see this exact theme with different colours after the holidays. Nice and clean. Love it!
king3pj Dec 6, 2010 at 12:51 pm
I agree I like this theme better than any other theme I have tried. I would love a non-holiday theme just like this to use after christmas.
jmherndon Dec 5, 2010 at 2:31 pm
Thanks for the OS 6 icons!
mamasaun Dec 5, 2010 at 8:47 pm
Love it!!! Finally some love for us Storm2 people who can't seem to get anything at all anymore. Theme really looks great with free Christmas wallpapers downloaded from Crackberry.com and loaded into a free wallpaper changing app. THANKS!!!
AFCEA Dec 6, 2010 at 9:39 am
The home screen is a bit fuzzy and the text is very hard to read, as well as scrolling left for the sound selection. For free it's not too bad, if I had paid for it I would be complaining!
Wookie13 Dec 7, 2010 at 7:16 pm
I don't know if anyone else downloaded this for their Storm, but I thought I would try it. I liked the look and functionality of the app, especially the way that it displayed email and calendar items without going opening them, didn't think it looked too bad either, so nice job on that, especially for a free theme. On the down side, it drained every bit of memory that I had within 2 hours, killed my battery within 4 hours, and ran insanely hot, which I got to find out through my case attached to my belt clip. I thought maybe it was a bad install so I deleted it and reinstalled with no better result, so I had to delete it so I could keep using my phone. Anyone else have different results using a Storm? I am stuck with this phone for 3 more weeks, but due to an upcoming deployment, it is going to turn into about 4 months, so I am stuck with the memory leaks for a while longer here, and would enjoy a little something extra on this phone.
