In a rare showing today, the first FREE theme I want to share with you is one for you 87xx sportin Foosball Lovers out there. If you’re a Cowboys Fan (and come on, who isn’t a fan of “america’s team” besides almost everyone outside of Texas) this theme is right up your alley. The Dallas Cowboys Theme by Xtrme XJ is here and working on 87xx devices. Its a pretty basic theme that speaks for itself. If you’re a fan, you can grab it OTA.
As with all theme installs, please make sure to do a Battery Pull or hard reboot if you can.
Up next and perhaps inspired by the news of the Disney/Marvel wedding, we have a happy little Mickey Mousetheme for the Blackberry Bold from Daniel Black. The theme features some customized icons as well as backgrounds for almost every screen. Its a little on the sweet and gooey side for me, but you Mickey Fans might love it. Its a very Disney theme with customizable home screen icons. You can grab it OTA from MobiMadness!.
Last for now, we have one for the Storm (95xx). Transformers Theme by tcaemt734. The cool thing about this theme is the icon’s. The icons transformer into their respective robot forms with red and purple for the lettering. Pretty old school. Don’t you think?

BlackBerry Messenger — I am not going to tell you that BlackBerry Messenger is the best Free IM client for the BlackBerry, but, I am going to tell you that it is a must have free BlackBerry download because all BlackBerry users can use it.
Google Maps — Google Maps is a nifty little app that allows you to easily search for businesses and get directions to and from, show you the location on a map, and even give you a satellite picture of the area. If you are looking for a Pizza parlor you could search for pizza with your zip code and all the matching results will be returned in an easy to navigate interface. One of the really cool features is that you can call the the business you searched for right from the Google Maps application.
BlackBerry Push Weather — This is a neat little application that I really don’t even think about, however, get useful information from it everyday. BlackBerry Push Weather is exactly what it sounds like… an application that gets weather updates pushed directly onto your device. You can have weather updates sent to you as a message or have a browser channel appear on your homepage. You can download BlackBerry Push Weather directly to your BlackBerry by visiting http://mobile.blackberry.com/mss/category_push from you devices browser.
Spider Solitaire — This is a free Solitaire game that can be found on the free game download area of the mobile.blackberry.com site provided by Magmic, Inc. Personally, this game has been the cause of countless hours of lost productivity
Yahoo! Messenger for BlackBerry and Google Talk for BlackBerry — I know that these are really two applications so just think of one of them as a bonus. Yahoo! Messenger and Google Talk are both free instant messaging clients for the BlackBerry. Both BlackBerry clients have the ability to communicate with both desktop versions of these applications and other BlackBerry versions seamlessly. I know that not everyone uses these clients, but if you do, they are definitely must haves.
