Well, people are going Nexus these days. We’re getting to see a lot of creative stuff  as Google’s Nexus gets space into blogosphere/tweetville apart from swamping in to news. This time we have spotted a nexus theme for BlackBerry! I am sure Nexus mafia (:D) will also get something to make iPhone look similar to Nexus (Nahhh…I was just kidding).

Be Nexus theme for BlackBerry has got some nice options and widgets most haven’t seen implemented on a BlackBerry. I know what’s your next question! Yeaah, this theme supports both QWERTY BlackBerry smartphones and touch screen.

This cool be Nexus theme has easy navigation control and you can do lots of things with trackball/trackpad navigation. All icons on the theme are fully customized to give you a closer feel of Nexus One. There’s also a Google Search App built in which makes you much closer to being a Nexus One.

Compatibility: 96xx, 89xx, 9000, 9700, 96xx, 95xx

Price: Bad news is that this theme is not free :’( You can buy it from MobiHnad/PocketBerry stores at $4.99 (currently discounted at $3.99)

Dear o dear – in a span of just a week; we’re seeing a new leak of BlackBerry messenger.

This new (unofficial) update takes the count to 3 for 5.0 series in leaked messengers.

One of the members at Crackberry sent an anonymous mail that OS 5.0.0.402 for the BlackBerry Storm 9500 is now up for grabs. There is no official information from official desks of RIM about this new 5.0.0.402

*WARNING – Keep in mind this is NOT an official release and as such is not supported by RIM or your Carrier. If you love your device more than your girlfriend/wife, then it is advised you strictly do not upgrade it . But if you still want to do so, you do it at your own risk It is quite normal during operating system development for certain features to be crippled or disabled while others are tested, and these beta builds often reflect that. They are not always better. Depending on your BlackBerry comfort level, it may be best for you to wait for community feedback on a build before deciding to download and install for yourself or simply wait for the next official release.
