Missing those classic ringtones from your old BlackBerry? Here's how you can get them on BlackBerry 10

Adam Zeis — Wed, 27 Feb 2013 16:05:27 +0000

If you're using a BlackBerry 10 device like the BlackBerry Z10 or Q10, you may have noticed that the ringtone selection is a bit lacking to say the least. There aren't nearly as many built-in tones as previous BBOS devices - but that's ok. We have tracked down most of the classic OS5 and OS6 ringtones/alerts so you can grab them and easily transfer them to your new BlackBerry 10 device.

Tis the season to dress up your BlackBerry for the holidays! With only seven days left until Christmas, you still have time to make sure your device is looking great no matter where your travels take you. We have plenty of great holiday ringtones, wallpapers and themes to keep you going so your BlackBerry can look just as festive as you this holiday season. I always like to drop a few Christmas wallpapers on my phone to get in the holiday spirit, and I can't help but setting the Grinch theme as my holiday ringtone.

Blast from the Past: OS5 ringtones available through BlackBerry App World

Remember "Ping Me Baby! (One More Time)" by Riz? That video up there might help jog your memory. The very first sound you hear in the video is an old OS 5 ringtone called Lightspeed. As much as you might like to have it as your very own, Lightspeed and a number of other older BlackBerry ringtones just aren't preloaded on newer OS 6 and OS 7 devices. Good luck trying to find those older ‘tones on the internet; Research In Motion has been pretty diligent in keeping those sound files to themselves.

That's not to say that Lightspeed and the rest are gone forever. Thanks to a tip from CrackBerry reader Shane W, we now have a link to download them directly from BlackBerry App World. Previously, we've seen these sounds available as Over the Air (OTA) download from BlackBerry.com but getting them through App World makes things that much easier.

To me, more ringtones = more awesome. Each and every new message / phone call / Facebook notification can have its own sound on my phone. It takes a little getting used to - and occasionally my BlackBerry sounds like a Las Vegas slot machine - but it means I know exactly what kind of message I received just by listening. Add in a touch of OS 5 nostalgia, and you've got a recipe for greatness.

Get OS5 ringtones back on your OS6 BlackBerry

Adam Zeis — Mon, 31 Jan 2011 15:56:27 +0000

Last night I was playing around with my Bold 9000 and noticed some ringtones I really missed. I started exploring options to get them installed on my 9780. I was open to just downloading a select few one by one, but I came across a much easier method that actually comes straight from RIM. There is an OTA link for the ringtone file from OS5 that easily installs the tones on your device. Just hit the link and you'll have a fresh set of OS5 ringtones on your OS6 device. The only catch is you'll have to install again should you reload your OS - small price to pay for having a huge bank of tones. To grab them for yourself just hit the link below from your device.

How to set and edit sound profiles on your BlackBerry

DJ Reyes — Mon, 10 Jan 2011 16:10:59 +0000

Customization. It's one of the things I always like to do first when I get myself a new BlackBerry. You can take two identical BlackBerry phones, and - through customization - get two very different experiences. As BlackBerry users, we find a theme that best suits us, arrange icons to our liking and even set the font to something pleasing to the eye. But a BlackBerry should be pleasing to the ear, too. You hear one alert and know it's a BBM, hear another alert and know it's your email. Alerts for mailboxes, phone calls, and even text messages can be customized to your liking. Let's show you how.

The holidays are officially upon us. The gifts are wrapped (or they should be), the plans have been made and the snow is falling (at least where I live it is). You've decorated your house, busted out the holiday music and tackled the mall, so the only thing left is to deck out your BlackBerry with some holiday media. We have wallpapers, ringtones and themes galore to get you flying into the holiday spirit. We have a fresh CrackBerry Holiday theme for 2010 and RIM has some BlackBerry Holiday themes of their own. We even have some spiked egg nog in the CrackBerry offices too, but we couldn't figure out how to make that available as a download on your BB. So check out the links below and grab up some holiday cheer so your Berry fits in with those pink bunny PJs grandma gave you.

Download the BlackBerry PlayBook ringtones and sounds!

Bla1ze — Tue, 26 Oct 2010 19:00:47 +0000

Since the release of the BlackBerry PlayBook SDK many developers have been poking around to see what goodies they can find hidden within. Some of those found goodies were the BlackBerry PlayBook ringtones and sounds. Ok, they're not really ringtones, rather just system sounds. Either way, they've all been extracted in .wav format and posted up for download, we're not exactly sure who did it but, thanks!

Get the ping me baby BBM theme song ringtone right here!

The other day when we posted the above video of the BBM theme song we thought it was really cool. Apparently, we weren't the only ones. Yesterday, the creator of the song Riz emailed us and asked if we could actually go ahead and post up the ringtone for everyone to download. Reason being, he can't keep up with the requests for it any more as he's been dolling out the link individually on his own. Needless to say, we kinda feel a bit responsible for that happening so alas, we've posted the ringtone for Riz and you all in the CrackBerry ringtone gallery for quick and easy downloads. Be sure to check it and the many other ringtones available there or create and upload your own for for all to enjoy!
