Wish you could change the user interface on your BlackBerry to look like the chic
iPhones? Thanks to technabob, we just learned that there's a new download called the bPhone that will do just this. The theme is compatible with the 8700, Pearl, Curve and 8800. Important: Before you go on a downloading frenzy, you MUST have BlackBerry OS 4.2.1 or later installed or else you may render your BlackBerry unusable! To check what OS you have, go to Options -> About on your phone. Get the bPhone download by clicking here!

the other phones look strange with the iphone layout
1Ooohs! Is it at all possible to upgrade your blackberry OS? Mine's a 4.1, but it's an 8700, so if I could just upgrade it, I'd like the layout of that!
2Kinda silly!
3I'd rather just buy the iPhone.
4Cool, cheaper I'm sure.
5wish i had read this before i dl'd the bphone on my pearl! i dl'd it without having the lastest OS on my pearl & it messed up all of my media. so if you're going to dl it, please make sure you've got the latest OS!!
i love this theme. cant afford an iphone & honestly i love my pearl too much to give it up.. but i do like the iphone theme.
& ps - starofsorrow, go to crackberry.com.. you'll find links to the lastest versions.
6i just downloaded it to my curve, its not too bad but i like the ATT theme better. it just doesnt feel right having an iphone on my blackberry.
7interesting idea, but why bother? I love the way my BB looks as is! If I wanted the iphone, which I don't, I'd go out and buy one...can't handle the poor reception on AT&T's network.
8don't do that app messed up my bb
9working great for me on my pearl. I did add my own wallpaper though- Van Gogh's Starry Night Over the Rhone.
10pretty neat!
11I downloaded this & and works like a charm. Follow the instructions, people! : ) I can't wait to show this off. Thanks, Geek Sugar!!!
