Favorites Logo A Dr. File Finder Favorite -- bPhone for BlackBerry

I was looking around for some software for my BlackBerry 8830 not long ago when I stumbled across a cool theme. bPhone is a theme created by Matthew Rogers for the BlackBerry that was inspired by the iPhone. I've tried a number of themes and was never satisfied with them, but bPhone is really something. The icons are really well done and taken directly from the iPhone. The fonts in the theme are easy-to-read which is something I've had problems with in other themes. It also uses a lot of blue and gray throughout the interface which makes the theme easy on the eyes. I have to say that Mr. Rogers really nailed the "look" of the iPhone with this theme. The banner that goes across the top is dead on and makes me feel like I'm looking at an iPhone commercial. Everything is very easy-to-use and intuitive. The theme is available to download for a desktop install or you can also do and over-the-air (OTA) install, which is what I opted for. Once you've installed the theme you need to totally reboot your BlackBerry by removing the battery and then reinserting it. As I mentioned, I've looked at lots of themes for the BlackBerry 8830, but this is the first one I've been really happy with. It's free, but I hope that if you use it you take a moment to make a donation - I did. I like it so much that it's not only a Pick, but I'm also making it a Dr. File Finder Favorite and those are few and far between. So, if you're looking for an iPhone theme for your BlackBerry, look no further. bPhone is beautifully done and I recommend it.
