It’s about time. We’re all waiting for all the carriers to release their 5.0 versions, and it’s good to know that Alltel customers can upgrade their software now. And just to clarify things more clearly, this is for the remaining Alltel customers who are not Verizon-acquired and not to be confused with the Alltel customers who are now Verizon customers. Verizon has yet to release 5.0.0.419 for the Tour at this time, so (Alltel)Verizon customers must wait till Verizon releases theirs.

If you are a Alltel customer and have the Tour, this is the upgrade you have been waiting for.

You can download the Alltel BlackBerry Tour 9630 v5.0.0.419 from the Alltel BlackBerry Downloads Page

There are many ways to personalize your BlackBerry device. For example you can choose to purchase different colored bezels and battery doors or a more permanent customization like a total re-paint through Colorware. What I have found to be the quickest and oftentimes least expensive way to make your BlackBerry truly yours is with a theme.

Themes change the look and feel of your BlackBerry by modifying how your screen looks. Be it through new icons, wallpapers, or even special effects such as moving docks that can hide your icons until you need them, themes are a popular way to make your BlackBerry reflect your own unique personality.

There are many websites that offer both free and paid themes that you can download. These can be done via a zip file that you download to your computer and install through Desktop Manager, or by an OTA (Over-the-Air) link that you click right from your BlackBerry browser. Sometimes though, it can be hard to find that perfect theme to really showcase what image you want to project. Luckily if you find yourself in this situation, RIM has provided you, free of charge, the tools you need to create your own themes.

In this article, we are going to show you what tools RIM is providing and what additional software and resources you may find useful in creating themes. How you can get your finished themes published to share with the rest of the BlackBerry community will be covered in a future article.
