Today I just found a new theme on the Blackberry free stuff site. It is called Surreal and it looks pretty damn good which is quite shocking considering the fuglyness of all the other free themes available. Take a look at the screenshots from my device.

I’m not sure if all models of Blackberry devices have access to this theme or not—I have the Curve. If you would like to download this theme follow these steps…

1. Open the Browser (not the carrier encumbered WAP browser)
2. Click the Menu key and select Bookmarks from the list of options
3. Under Blackberry Bookmarks select Home Page
4. Scroll down and select Fun & Games
5. Scroll down and select Themes (notice the other free stuff available here too, some of the free and classic games are good)
6. Select I Accept on the terms and conditions page
7. Scroll down until you see the Surreal theme and click the Download link just under the picture
8. Click Download to begin the download process (you must have a data plan for this to work)
9. Once completed close the Browser by clicking the End key
10. Open the Options (usually a wrench icon) and scroll down and select Theme
11. Select Surreal and then close Options using the End key

Now take the time to select the most important six icons and move them to the top of the menu. These six with show on the main screen view (Figure 1). Clicking the Menu key will reveal the rest of the icons (Figure 2).

Enjoy!
