Every BlackBerry user has a special love for their BlackBerry theme of choice. As one of the few ways users can personalize their BlackBerry, it’s a pretty significant statement: do you choose something trendy like an iBerry theme, or relive your youth with a Super Mario Bros theme?
We were recently contacted by DreamTheme, a company that is looking to evolve BlackBerry personalization beyond simple themes with LiveScreens. LiveScreens are essentially animated homescreen applications, but there’s more to them than meets the eye. Hit the jump and come check out one of the coolest new things you can put on your BlackBerry.
Great news today for members of the BlackBerry Nation looking for an excuse to waste more time on their BlackBerry. Bplay just emailed us to let us know that they now support direct billing!
Direct billing for games is now available for AT&T, T-Mobile and Sprint subscribers at Bplay. Subscribers of those carriers can bill Bplay games directly to their phone bills by using Premium SMS. It is available at Bplay through an additional “Bill to Phone” option on the game product pages.
Over time, Bplay will be adding more US and Canadian carriers. We’ve included links below to our three favorite Bplay games.

I’ve been getting some of our less technically-inclined readers emailing me asking “how do I download mobile games from my AT&T BlackBerry?” It seemed like too easy of a question to answer so I’ve been avoiding it but there is no such thing as a stupid question and I’ll happily respond.
For this how-to, I’m using an AT&T BlackBerry Bold courtesy of Research in Motion (RIM). The first thing you’ll notice about the Bold is that it has 6 icons on the lower section of the screen. From that list you have (or at least on my Bold): messages, email, address book, calendar, MEdia Net and media.

Are you ready for some football? I guess that’s the question on Bplay’s mind these days, after releasing officially licensed BlackBerry themes for all 32 NFL teams. Obviously, from the image above you can probably guess that my loyalty lies with ‘Da Bears’, but whatever your team Bplay has a theme for you.
You can find a collage of all 32 NFL themes after the jump. The BlackBerry Bold is not yet supported, but will be in the coming weeks.

Magmic Games have been making games for BlackBerry for a long time now and QuicklyBored has been with them all the way. Because we’re both based in Ottawa (blocks apart), we’ve had the opportunity for interviews with both their CEO and developers. Magmic is doing great things for promoting the BlackBerry gaming business and their latest game, The New York Times Crosswords, is a sweet addition to their lineup.
On October 2nd, the game launched exclusively to AT&T and will be available until January 1st 2009. After that time, the product will be available across most U.S. and Canadian carriers, as well as offered through Bplay.com, Magmic’s direct-to-consumer shopping portal.

Our friends at Bplay are really starting to show off their theme-building skills, this time with an Airshow BlackBerry theme that reminds me of a time when I wanted to be like Chuck Yeager.
The slick animated will run you only $6.99 but is not compatible with the BlackBerry 8830. View some higher res screenshots after the jump.

A bunch of new free ringtones for BlackBerry popped up on mobile.blackberry.com which kind of look like they didn’t make the final cut to be prepackaged with the BlackBerry Bold, as they’re sporting the familiar Inspired and Pro series names. They’re all the high quality you’d expect right from RIM, and worth nabbing real quick if you’re looking for a taste of the Bold on another device.
