As to your question, it depends on what types of themes you are looking for.
Sports?
Babes?
Hunks?
etc.

There are a few out there that have nice themes, or you can get software that helps you create your own.

Personally I like the bphone theme from Rogers.

Hi Simpson

Thanks for the lead on bPhone....I installed and am very happy. There are a couple of quirks, but overall, very nice.

It is freeware, but I liked it so much I did donate to the author. It's only right....

Not a problem. Good on you for the donation....making me feel guilty...

No intention to make anyone feel guilty, sorry. Just trying to drive home how much I enjoyed the author's efforts and how professional the results of those efforts was. In my opinion of course!

Ok, still a newbie here. I can't for the life of me figure out how to put ringtones on the Pearl. I tried a bunch of ringtone sites, but they don't seem to be compatible. I took an MP3 file from my itunes, and tried to transfer it to my BB, I had to put it on the card because I guess it was too large? But I synched up the phone and now i can't even find the music file in the media manager????

Arrgh. Am I doing something wrong here?? Like, ok, on my old treo, I had a program called minitones (?), I was basically able to take an mp3 file, and clip it and use it as a ringtone. Is there anything like that for the BB?

Thanks in advance....

Hi Again:

I am going to assume your Pearl has the same Media application mine does. I hope that is correct. I did something similar that I used to do with the Treo. I use a card reader and of course an adapter with the MicroSD used in the 8830. The adapter came with the purchase in the package. I created a folder for each of the Media choices. Music, Videos, Ringtones and Pictures. I used Windows Explorer and simply copied the ringtone I had for my Treo (24 Telephone Ring) and pasted into a folder I named ringtones on the card. I also copied and pasted 100 or so pictures I had to the Pictures folder.

I then slapped the card into the BB, opened Media, opened Ring Tones, All Ring Tones and scrolled to mine. Tested that it played and pressed the Menu key and selected "set as phone tune".

It actually went faster than it sounds!!!

It could be that your MP3 did not get placed into the Music folder and that might be why you can't see it. I am not sure.

I do know you can also transfer to the card in the device while connected via the USB cable, but a setting has to be set to Mass Storage On and Enabled. That is from the Icon menu > Options > Media Card > check to be sure that support is on and that Auto Enable Mass Storage is also enabled. I believe that might be through BB Manager, but I haven't really used that as all our information is set to wireless sync through a corporate BES server.

Let us know if any of this helps and I will troll around for better explained solutions and alternatives.

Hey Steve - thanks for the suggestions - I will try this out later, and let you know what my success is on it.
