If you own a BlackBerry Bold, there's a new theme for it that most of you will surely love. It's called DroidBerry, and will make you're WM-based handset look like it's running Android OS. It costs $7 and is available in two variants: with homescreen clock (which does't work) and without it. Head to CrackBerry to get it.
Unofficial firmware updates for the BlackBerry Storm appear lately like mushrooms after the rain. And here's a new one, the OS 4.7.0.87. We don't know what changes it brings, but we do know it has some.
Install it at your own risk, and have fun with it.
BGR has posted a couple of screenshots showing a Visual Voicemail icon on the BlackBerry Bold's homescreen. The OS the guy was running on his handset was 4.6.0.219 and his carrier was AT&T, but the application didn't start because of the lacking Application Center components.

Vodafone subscribers owning a BlackBerry Storm 9500 should visit CrackBerry and download the latest 4.7.0.85 firmware update for the handset.
