If you're a Bold 9900/9930 user and are a bit jealous of the P'9981 theme or icons, fear not. Both the custom theme as well as the icon files have been extracted from the Porsche Design BlackBerry P'9981. Personally I'm not a fan of the "custom" look of this theme, but I know some may be longing for a new look for their Bold 9900 or 9930. Now keep in mind these won't work on any devices aside from the 9900 and 9930, and as of now they only run on OS 7 (not 7.1). So with that in mind, hit the link below to download the theme or the icons (if you want to create a theme of your own) and get your Porsche on.

Porsche Design Theme and Icons Extracted from BlackBerry P'9981
Other link?
It is quite ugly to be honest.
Anyone know if it is possible to just use the font from this theme?
Looks really cool!
the theme is nice at first but the icons just get confusing and blurrs together. mostly because of the same colours and styles. it started giving me headaches after a few minutes of use.
more proof RIM is full of bull. "waaaa liquid graphics broke theme's and we're too inept to fix it... just ignore the fact we make themes...." fk you RIM, give themers the theme builder.
i love this theme!!
is better than the boring default one!
media and calendar apps are skinned as well which is cool
Help!
When I installed the theme, it delete the default theme for the 9900
I know that you can get the default 9900 theme back by deleting the porsche theme, but is there any way to keep both themes and be able to switch between themes easily?
I kept it for a day. I deleted it cause I wasn't able to log on to some apps. I haven't found any free themes (not wallpaper) for the 9900, that's why I downloaded it. Oh well, I guess I have to wait until next year.
NO WAY!!!! - My mom, and she has a Nokia :D
Pearl 8100 > 8800 > Storm > Storm 2 -- Call me Oldie :)
how the hell do I even get it on my phone? HEEELLLPPP!!!!!!!
ugly
check out our FREE os6 version of the theme
http://store.berryfication.com/product.asp?id=756596
:)
Does the OS 6 version remove the default theme?
no this is a standard theme we have made like normal, it will be added as a new theme
Same with me on Verizon... Stock wallpaper isn't great anyway so I picked up a great Porsche background on the 9900 theme thread.
The screen shots above don't do this theme justice.
I quite happen to like it, although my default wallpaper is different to the one in the image ^^^
What's up with that?
The screenshots don't do this theme and its icons justice. When you actually load it on the device, you will realize its pretty clean.
The integration also goes deep into the messaging app and calendar.
Not for everyone, but definitely deserves a shot on the device. It will grow on you.
Downloaded it. Tried it. Hated it. Deleted it. :)
Yup.. blackberry is going down the drain.. Hideous phone, nasty theme.. this company is a joke! They expect to succeed launching a good phone a year later.
and the phone will look like this
in addition, functional components like the trackpad will be removed, yet complaints about other phones such as long screen for Dell Venue Pro will be incorporated
This is one of the ugliest themes I have ever seen, but I would be compelled to use it if it was available for me (Torch 9850). I am dying to see some good themes built. The current selection of themes that are being produced are really crappy, although I thank them for giving it a go!
i think those icons are horrible...they look all boxy and boring....i'll hold off
This theme is ugly and cramped. Can't believe porsche would even endorse this. Had to delete it to get the native theme back and I'm still trying to reorganize my icons. Left a bunch of crap folders too.
Sorry to say but its shit!!! Horribbbbllleee
Not jealous at all.
Hi,
the Theme link is broken !
Why it would not work for 7.1 ?
The article CLEARLY says that it works only on 7.0 not on 7.1.
Read carefully.
gosh, it works on my bold 9900 but there is no notification bar ! Even after when I rebooted my phone.. http://yfrog.com/ocoymnj
I've had this since lastweek, I love it and will use for quite a while. And it goes great with that wallpaper I got for free - http://yfrog.com/mnukwmoj
No.
Do i have to use a DOS prompt to log into it?? This is what people are spending big money for? SMS I guess (does not mean short messaging system either) for Porsche. My Atari icons are nicer....
That must be the most cheap looking theme ever seen on a blackberry... The Porsche design is a one of a kind design disappointment, I've always been BB4L but after that... it just showed that Nobody's perfect, and RIM isn't an exception at making a design failures... or shell i say F@ck u Posche, yeah F@ck you !! =p
Have you talked to anyone about your anger issues?
RIM is far from perfection, boy...
and I don't think it can get any farther after what happened in the last year....
I changed to this theme, love the font and use of green. Most of the app icons like Berry Traffic, Travel, Weather look fine, at least for me. Will use for now until some other themes come out.
Very ugly
Very sad and depressing
come on!! don't forget 9810 :( pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Seriously, who would want them, they look like the computer icons from 3 decades ago...
but there goes half of what the Porsche phone user bought...
I like it but now want to go back to the original theme. Anyone know how go get the old theme back since this theme literally REPLACED the old one?
I had the same problem and I did some work on my phone. Here are the steps how to go back to the original theme. It apparently replaced the original COD file for some reason.
From the menu Homescreen
Go to “Options”
Locate “Application Management”
Search for "Theme" and you'll find the theme you downloaded. (most likely containing P9981)
Delete that file and Reboot your phone
you saved my life...
Aside from the font, I don't like this theme very much. It looks so dated.
I got the link a few days ago and it works fine on my 9780. You just have to mek sure that you reboot your phone when you are switching FROM this theme, ottherwise some of ypour icons will not switch back to their default settings.
As is often the case with OS6 themes as well.
looks like Gameboy icons lol
Ugly, Ugly, and Ugly. Cinderella's sisters looked better.
lol, i think they suit eh 9981, but they dont `fit` the current BB look for most phones
I tried on my 9930/7.1.0.163 Verizon and it wouldn't work.
hence the "only works on 7.0 not 7.1" :P
beautiful icons :-)
no chance this will come for my 9860? :(
Yeaaah!!
