If you’ve been living under a rock and haven’t heard of TriMax84 and his amazing themes, here is a little taste of his newest theme to the Momentum Series called Flyout. This theme has 14 user customizable icons with a icon in the top left portion of the of the screen made for a weather application. The bottom 8 icons are built on a sliding dock, with an addition of 5 icons that "Flyout" on the screen when you slide all the way right and click the flyout button.

One feature that I really like about this theme is when I click the clear button on my BlackBerry it removes all the icons off the screen making this theme really wallpaper friendly. This theme is only available for the BlackBerry Curve 8900 and the BlackBerry Tour, although I was told that the Momentum Series is coming to the Bold really soon! Over all this theme works as it was designed to, and at $6 bucks you can’t go wrong with this one.

So I’m not sure when exactly ColorWare added the BlackBerry Curve 8520 to their line-up, but apparently it’s there now. I was actually just browsing their site trying to figure out what color of Beats by Dre  to pick up for myself, and clicked into the Phones section before leaving the site out of habit and poof, there was the 8520. Apologies if it has been there for a while and this is old news… it was news to me anyways and I don’t think it has surfaced in the blogs just yet. 

If you own a Curve 8520 and want to send it in for a paint job, $99 will get it done and you can choose from a variety of colors. Alternatively, you can order a new unlocked Curve 8520 from ColorWare for $499, in your choice of colors with a 1 year warranty included. Keep in mind the word is T-Mo will be releasing an all-white Curve 8520 in the weeks ahead, so if you’re thinking about an all white one you may want to hold out for that. Speaking of ColorWare, don’t forget you still have until midnight PST tomorrow to enter our Win a Custom-Painted ColorWare BlackBerry Tour Contest!

A new application has hit BlackBerry App World that I’m rather excited to see. Soonr has gotten plenty of great reviews for its services offered on the iPhone and now it has made its way to BlackBerry as well. While the application is web based, that does not take away from the usefulness of Soonr if having your important documents at hand when you need them is of vital importance to you. Between the web applcation on your BlackBerry and the required PC/Mac application you should find Soonr a valueable tool. Let’s get to the details:

The Soonr service Protects critical business documents with real-time backup and keeps users Productive by giving them on demand access to these documents from anywhere.

• Protected - If your PC or Mac crashes or is stolen, Soonr’s active backup technology ensures that your critical files are backed up offsite and ready for you to restore to another computer.
• Productive – View, collaborate, and respond to documents and presentations that reside on any Windows PC or Mac; directly from your BlackBerry smart phone. Whether they are documents you created or those being used by a group of people collaborating on a project, Soonr and your BlackBerry will keep you connected and productive anywhere you are.
• Send – Files can be attached and sent from the cloud using your browser like a remote control.
  Print – allows you to print to any remote printer directly from your handset.
  Fax – leverages your eFax account to send faxes to any fax machine.

Soonr basic accounts are available for free while premium services are reasonably priced starting at just $7.95 and going onward from there. As an individual user you should find that the free account will do you fine, but as a business owner you’ll likely want to look at the premium services.Soonr also handles over 42 document types so you should never be left with the inability to read/view your important documents.

Here is a quick, awesome utility application aptly named ReverseLookup. Reverse lookup is always a great feature to have for those times when you get random or unknown numbers calling you. Some applications such as Poynt have it built in, but Poynt is a larger download then this application. ReverseLookup adds a little more to the capability though by not only allowing you to look up the numbers but also allowing you to either call them back or add them to your contacts all from one screen. Light in weight, low memory consumption and quite a useful application available for all devices 4.5 and up and it sells for for only $1 in the CrackBerry App Store.

Boy Genius Report got a nice tip regarding the launch of the BlackBerry Curve 8520 and Bold 9700 on Rogers. Both devices are now showing in the Rogers upgrade systems and while no pricing or launch dates are revealed it’s still nice to see that Rogers is still in the running for both devices.

We can take a guess and say the BlackBerry Curve 8520 will be under the $100 mark when launched on Rogers but again, that’s just a guess. The Bold 9700 is a different story, I’m sure we’d all like to see it roll in at $299.99 or less but with Rogers, that won’t happen prepare for $399.99 canucks and make sure to have the fundage ready in October for either device. T-Mobile, AT&T, Rogers and Vodafone–who will launch the 9700 first?
