How to Download and Install Free Blackberry Themes

By Kent Lee

Your Blackberry cell phone is like a miniature PC, and comes with wallpaper backgrounds and everything! Your Blackberry comes with a number of themes that you can use to customize your phone. But, sometimes, those themes just don't cut it!

If you're looking for more themes for your Blackberry in order to further customize your phone to your liking, you can find hundreds of free Blackberry themes online. You can download and install these themes by using either your phone, or your desktop manager.

Some of the websites that offer free online themes for your Blackberry do not have theme applications that can be installed onto your phone via desktop manager because they are over-the-air (OTA) applications. In such cases, you need to go online to get the theme downloaded and installed directly from your phone.

However, you can choose to explore the theme and what it might look like using your PC or laptop in order to avoid extra Internet usage on your phone. Then, once you've chosen a theme, an e-mail will be sent to your phone along with installation instructions and a link to get to your theme.

If you get free Blackberry themes from a website that has non-OTA applications, then you can install the themes using desktop manager.

To install the theme, download and extract the theme file, saving somewhere you can easily find it, like your desktop. Then, you connect your phone to your PC or laptop and use the application loader to add the extracted theme files to your phone. Once you've gone through the installation wizard, you'll be ready to reboot your Blackberry and enjoy your new theme.
