Its the last day folks to join our 2nd annual NCAA March Madness contest.

Click here to join.

Its almost Madness time.

No, this isn't a post on how to see games on your mobile phone come Thursday-Sunday although I must say this is as equally intriguing.

Kevin over at Crackberry showed me this link on twitter and I had to share it. Talk about a creative way to get the juices flowing for March madness. This bracket pits the top smartphones (cough..palm pixi why are you here. cough.) against each other to have the ultimate challenge for smartphone dominance. Today, the Bold 9700 is up against the Palm suxi. Surely, this is the equivalent of the 1 vs 16 matchup in the NCAA. There is no way Palm should be in the conversation and judging by the votes as of 4:13 pm today, it's not. How it got even 30 % of the votes is beyond me.

Keep checking back there to see if your favorite smartphone makes it to the final four and, better yet, the Championship game. I see the iPhone looks like the favorite but BlackBerry may have something to say about this.

The Brackets are back! I'll admit it. This is one of my favorite times of the year. In my opinion, the NCAA tournament has the best playoff system in sports today. So, of course, we have to do another contest to follow up last years successful contest. So, anybody that wants to play, it's completely open. How do you play? Simple. We will be using cbssports.com for our brackets

This year we have a couple of prizes for the winner. Partnering with TalkMajor, the winner will get a t-shirt for the Smartphone of your choice. Stephen over at TalkMajor has graciously offer to be a sponsor in the contest. You gotta check out some of the shirts on his site. Follow him on twitter @talkmajor. We will have other prizes as well such as Bluetooth headset, cases, and other items.

Here is how to join the contest.

1. Go click here and sign up. The password is themes1.

2. Check our facebook page by clicking here.

3. Fill out your Brackets early but you can only enter once.

In view of the upcoming Daylights saving time change this weekend, I figured it be a good opportunity to take a theme that focuses on the sunset, which will be a heck of a lot longer come Saturday for most of the United States. Check out CTThemes new Sunset Storm theme.

On this theme, there are 3 messaging buttons at the bottom. Touching the left side of the screen will bring up the 9 icon hidden dock. To hide the dock, simply touch the right side. Touching the screen below the clock will launch QuickLaunch. A small 3 item hidden today is displayed below the dock for today items. Fonts are user defined so you can find the size that fits you best. This is a great theme!

Grab it here. It is also available for the Tour as well here.

There are few things as hot as social media right now. If you don't believe me, watch this video here called Social Media Revolution. You have to marvel at the power of Twitter and Facebook and even newcomers like foursquare. So, my friend Kimberly decided to show her appreciation for the power of social media.  Inspired by sites like Mashable, this theme takes the look and feel of your favorite social media outlets. It even has the web icon for Mashable.

This will be a free theme and coming for most BlackBerry devices. How do you get it? Become a facebook fan of the site and we will release it via Facebook very soon.

This week it's one theme that is featured and you'll see why I decided to feature it.  As mentioned before it seems to be one of the most searched for BlackBerry Theme ideas when it comes to what some bb users like.

WinMo Xtreme BlackBerry Theme

This theme features a custom homescreen layout with an extra fullsize 80×80 dock that can be used for your favorite third party and/or weather application* and multi directional scrolling and features 6 user definable icons and the battery meter and signal meter doubles as the manage connections and options icons.It also features 3 slideout tabs displaying icons for messages, calendar and contacts (Theme for the Bold only features messages and calendar tabs).

All icons were extracted from the Windows Vista and Windows 7 UI database. In addition to the custom icons this theme also features custom message list, browser list, and new item indicator icons. This theme is wallpaper friendly, so if you change your wallpaper the docks on the homescreen and lockscreen will remain in place. This them is available for the Blackberry 8900, 9000, 9600, and 9700.

WinMo Xtreme BlackBerry Theme

Until next week!

Odd isn't it? A theme dedicated to a group of CPA's. Well, since it's tax time and there are thousands of CPA's preparing tax returns and alot of them from PWC frequent our site, it was neccessary to make a theme dedicated to one of the top CPA firms in the country. Jake from Vision Mobility made an unbelievable BlackBerry theme for them. I am currently using this theme and if you are looking for a professional theme, this is the one for you.

I want to say a big Thank you to the folks at Price Waterhouse Cooper for their support. Oh, if you want to check out the BlackBerry Theme here is the link. Right now it's just for the 9700 5.0. But we will make it for all the devices soon. If you have a specific device need, leave it in the comments section. Again, the link for download is http://ow.ly/1dwfH.

After almost two years of the same look we decided to make a change or two to our homepage. Go to our forum, where all of our free blackberry themes for any and all devices. We want to take time and thank our over 320,000 plus members we have. We want to make sure that we keep the BlackBerry community as a whole informed on the happenings in the theme community. Thanks again everyone!

Stay tuned guys for the new look on our forum homepage. We have had that look for 1 year and a half, and it's time for a change. We cant say much yet but expect the new look sometime in the next 7 days. It's a very clean look. We hope you like.
