First, I want to start with a very important thing that would make you know what decision you should take talking about what weather application should you get for your BlackBerry. The WeatherBug application is in a big competition with the WeatherEye application (which I’m going to make a review soon, probably next time so stay tuned to the BlackBerry lovers blog). Anyway, from what I read on the internet, this WeatherBug application remains a leader in this domain because it has many features.
This the last post from the series with Miguel’s themes. I imagined something happening while me checking this last theme and it looks that I wasn’t wrong. I was imagining me having not great thoughts about the Miguel’s BlackBerry themes but after seeing the last theme, I changed my point namely from quite good for a beginner to very awesome theme for a beginner. I felt this happening just by reading the name of the theme namely “AbstratblueBB” because usually all the abstract designs (talking in general) really attracts my attention and they look very good either we can’t describe it with words.
As I said and even promised you in the previous post, I will keep writing something like a series posts with the themes of Miguel and this is another post from that series. It looks like Miguel didn’t repeat the same mistake as he did at the last theme. This time he didn’t use the same base idea namely that images with included buttons or links for any special feature of the phone. It is a little hard for me to say how cool or not is this theme because I must see through the eyes of a girl.
I think that I will keep some posts like an episode serial with the BlackBerry Themes made by Miguel. Unfortunately, this time I will start with a little minus namely that this theme is very similar to the one that I made a review yesterday and probably I might be wrong namely that the other themes that he made to look different (we’ll see in the posts from the days that are about to come) but these themes are almost looking the same. Better said, these two themes started from the same idea and this is why they look so similar one to each other right now.
First I want to talk a little about the designer of this theme. His name is Miguel and he is new in this so if you would buy one of his themes, it would help him very much. The home screen image is not pretty unique, I saw this idea at other themes (anyway, they were not BlackBerry themes) but Miguel included in this home screen image many elements. This is not new, I saw this before at some video games but never again at a BlackBerry theme so in this domain, namely the BlackBerry themes, his idea is pretty original.
I have to tell you that I really don’t like this type of apps. I can even say that I hate them. I’m that type of man who thinks that if there is a theme built for PC, then it should remain on PCs and not to be sold for phones or other type of PCs or anything else excepting the product it was built for. So is the iPhone theme. Actually that one is much more exploited but so are the Windows 7 themes and this time we are going to talk about an off of a BlackBerry Windows 7 Theme.
This is a really cool application and I think that one of the main reasons would be that few people are thinking to make apps to work offline especially when we talk about the GPS apps. Yes, the BlackBerry BerrySki app is able to work offline so after you download the application and the maps, you don’t need anymore an internet connection. Anyway, if you really need such an application, you have only 2 options: 1 you download this application or 2 you don’t download anything else because this is the single BlackBerry Ski GPS offline app available until now.
Usually I don’t pay attention to this type of application but let’s say that this time I’ll do because there may be people who like to use such type of application. First I want to tell you why I don’t like this type of application. The first thing may be that most of these application working only if you speak in English other most used languages but there are no chances for my language. Anyway, I don’t think how exactly can be this application but it usually happens not to write the words correctly or to fail while trying to recognize your voice.
This is a very cool theme for me and I can even feel that it came as a dedication because I just love the green color and this theme has a lot of green elements and also because I’m raising money to buy a Xbox 360. Anyway, I think you know that this is not a coincidence, green color is the color of Xbox. I think that if you have a Xbox console and you’re a very big fan of that console and at the same time you also have a BlackBerry smartphone, you will get immediately this theme or at last I’d do if I was you.
I think that if you are an IM maniac or you have friends on all messenger services, this kind of application you need to speak with them. The coolest thing at this application is that it allows you to login on more than one messenger (yahoo, MSN, AIM, Google Talk, ICQ) and then it makes a list with all of your friends showing you by an image what messenger do that person uses. There were some times when I needed such an application for PC but now I don’t use anymore so often the IM.
