COD: Black Ops by Tony Terry

Welcome back BlackBerry fans.  If you have visited BlackBerryVoodoo before you may already be aware that several of us around here are not just BlackBerry junkies and theme developers, many of us are also hopelessly addicted gamers… I know, I know, speak for myself…  Now, as a gamer, I personally am a big fan of FPS style games and I’ve literally been counting down the days until the November 9th release of Call of Duty: Black Ops, so when our buddy Tony Terry dropped in last month to post his Black Ops theme in the forum I thought, what could be better for our November Theme of the Month?  So here we are and as for the theme, what can I say… it’s sweet!  It has some great looking COD wallpapers, a full set of OS6 icons, hidden dock/today areas, custom battery and signal meters and more.  It’s a whole lot of fun and it’s Free!  If your a fan of COD, first person shooter games or just love rocking a sweet free theme on your BlackBerry, hop on over to the’ forum and grab yourself a copy. While your there make sure to leave a comment for Tony or better yet hit the donate button in his signature and buy him a cup of coffee.  Thanks for sharing this awesome freebie with us Tony and I look forward to seeing the rest of you COD junkies online next week. Enjoy.

Hello out there BBV readers, BlackBerry fans and fellow Leos’ whom I celebrate my birthday with this month. Can you believe August has arrived so quickly? It feels like 2010 is in some type of perilous race speeding ever onward to an inevitable crashing end. And while we’re on the subject [...]]]>

Tron Legacy Theme

Hello out there BBV readers, BlackBerry fans and fellow Leos’ whom I celebrate my birthday with this month. Can you believe August has arrived so quickly? It feels like 2010 is in some type of perilous race speeding ever onward to an inevitable crashing end. And while we’re on the subject of things racing by at break-neck speeds, anyone remember the movie TRON? The 1982 sci-fi classic staring Jeff Bridges. It had some sort of high speed race in it as I recall and I believe also ended in a crash. Now thanks to Hollywood’s current trend of rehashing everything from the 80′s (The A-Team, Karate Kid, Transformers, Red Dawn, ect, ect…) this December we’ll get a fresh new look at the world of TRON as Disney reinvents this familiar adventure with far better graphics and brings the world a sequel more than twenty-eight years in the making with the release of TRON Legacy.

Now to our Theme of the Month. If you have visited us here at BlackBerryVoodoo.com before you’ll likely know that many of us around here love to keep our BlackBerry’s consistently immersed in new themes and many of our favorite themes draw inspiration from the world of pop culture. With these thoughts in mind it seemed a logical choice for the August Theme of the Month honors to go to a new theme developer joining our community, Tony Terry. Tony has kindly shared with our community several great new themes and his latest design aptly titled ‘TRON Legacy’ celebrates the upcoming Disney film of the same name. This theme is not only beautifully designed with an outstanding layout, great images, fonts and colors but is also an excellent example of how theme developers can help keep our favorite smartphones looking fresh by sporting the latest in trends, fashions and entertainment. Pop on over to Tony’s Tron Legacy theme post to find downloads and make sure to leave a comment or just a simple thanks for sharing his time and creativity with all of us theme lovers and sci-fi geeks.

Plazmic, by O o FRY o O

July has arrived, Summer is in full swing and the weather is hot! While we here in Albuquerque wait for our local monsoon season to kick in and help cool things off here the high desert. BlackBerryVoodoo’s own OoFRYoO has been hard at work developing a theme that is guaranteed to keep our BlackBerry devices looking cool all summer long. Titled ‘Plazmic’, in tribute to the original content developers kit. Fry’s latest creation is a brilliantly designed, ultra-sleek, and stunningly beautiful theme built for 9700, 9630, 9650 and 8900 devices. Featuring 10 user-customizable home screen icons that display elegantly on top of a a black glass double hidden dock which slides and hides seamlessly under a completely customized bottom banner. Plazmic users will also enjoy dark gray menus, custom battery and signal meters, turquoise and white fonts, and smooth screen transitions that bring everything neatly together for a futuristic look and feel with absolutely no compromise in performance. Plazmic is the perfect theme for professionals who demand the most from their BlackBerry device, to those just looking to stand out from the crowd with some amazing eye candy. Plazmic is by far one of the best all around themes I have personally used and it will most certainly be in use on my 9700 long after the Summer is gone.

Futurama theme for BlackBerry Tour, Bold, Curve devices

“We’ll there ain’t no cure for the summer-time blues,” but there are at least a couple of things we can look forward to during the summer of 2010 that are bound to help beat the blues back. To start, we should all be looking forward to some hot new BlackBerry devices that will release on to the US and Canadian markets in the following few months, such as the re-branded 9650 Bold, and the much anticipated and heavily updated 91xx series that will finally bring the pearl back to the top of it’s game. But perhaps the thing I’ve most been looking forward to this month is the comeback (“don’t call it a comeback…” ) of one of my favorite TV shows, and arguably the best Sci-fi comedy of all time, Futurama ! That’s right, if for some reason you’ve been out of the loop, the good folks over at Comedy Central have revived this modern classic from the mind of Matt Groening, and are bringing us the one-hour season premiere June 24th. Being the Futurama nerd fan I am, I decided to put together a little homage to this ever-expanding big bang of comedy in the form of a sleek theme for all the BlackBerry users that are Futurama fans themselves out there. You’ll find all the bells and whistles included in this theme (hidden dock, great images, icons, through-out) and of course it’s freebie ! From one fan to many others, I wish you all a great start to your summer, and long live Futurama !

Polygon from Elecite themes

Elecite themes, developers of some of the most creative, insightful, and device altering themes available for BlackBerry devices have done it once again with the release of their latest inspiring design titled Polygon.

Polygon offers a fresh take on device functionality that will make your BlackBerry a joy to use and brings an intense, futuristic style with a red vibe to your device.

All of the homescreen icons in Polygon are organized in a cell system. Each icon you see represents a category that once clicked, reveals a handful of icons. This cell system allows for quick access to your social networks, communication, media, options and more, making for a grand total of 18-19 homescreen icons !

Have an app that you simply have to have on your homescreen that isn’t there already? Not to worry because Polygon adapts to your needs. Simply move any icon to the top of your application list and it will be visible in one of the 6 slots in the custom category (shown as the star icon).

All of the notifications, date and time are efficiently tucked into the bottom right corner of this theme so your eye only has to look in one direction to find all your vitals at a glance.

Polygon is definitely a theme at the top of its game, and is available for BlackBerry 8900, 9630, 9700 and Storm devices running os 5.0. Head on over to  Elecite themes for a video preview and more specs. Enjoy.
