The Blackberry themes website, themes4BB.com includes a very vast selection of themes while supporting many of the Blackberry models including the Blackberry Pearl, Pearl Flip, Curve, the Sprint 8350 model, Bold, Storm, 87xx, 88xx and 89xx.

Themes4BB.com is very user-friendly. You simply pick the model of your Blackberry from the list of all supported models and start browsing for a theme that you like. The site isn't completely loaded with advertisements, they stick to about one per page that is towards the bottom of the screen. Nobody likes a page full of advertisements talking to you and hijacking your browser.

This website may be a waste of time and money for some people. You have to pay very close attention to the page when you first visit themes4BB.com since it states "You must have a data plan with your Blackberry, we do zip the files or send them to you". This simply means that you have to download them directly onto your Blackberry, no data plan, no themes. Also, in their Terms of Service, they specifically note that they do not offer refunds on digital downloads.

The average price for the themes listed on themes4BB.com is about five dollars per theme. If you want something that is the bare minimum, or a color change, you will pay about a dollar or so. The more graphical and complex skins cost around eight dollars.

This company offers a forum and an email address that you can email for support. The forum seems to be very active, they have threads on every product they sell. So if any issues come about after buying from them, there's a good chance you will be able to get it resolved without having to email them directly.

Aside from themes, themes4BB.com also offers unlocking codes for various carriers. Unlocking codes allow you to use the phone on different carriers than the one it was made for. The prices seem fairly reasonable, they also support the unlocking codes in the forum.

As for payments, themes4BB.com accepts Visa, MasterCard and Discover. They also accept money orders, cashier's checks, personal checks, and company checks in U.S. Dollars only. Though if you use a check or money order, it will take much longer for you to receive your themes.

Overall, I would give themes4BB.com an 9/10 review. The website is attractive looking, easy to navigate, not loaded with advertisements but I believe the price should be a bit cheaper but they do have some absolutely beautiful themes to deck out your Blackberry.
