Flowberry theme

Here’s the theme for all the Mac fans out there using a BlackBerry smartphone. If your company can’t or don’t want to buy you an iPhone, you can still enjoy the “Apple experience” on your CrackBerry, while extending your push-email addiction at the same time.

The theme is called Flowberry and it features a pseudo Cover Flow, making a BlackBerry device look as Apple-ish as possible. The problem, though, is that the home screen icons are locked in. That may not be the issue in case you only need a fast access to the basic stuff. Unchangeable home screen icons are: Messages, Calendar, Address Book, Media, SMS/MMS, BlackBerry Messenger, MemoPad, and Keyboard Lock. If that’s good enough for you hop over to Bplay’s website (the folks behind the theme) and grab Flowberry for $6.99. All BlackBerry models are reportedly supported, though animation performance is optimal with software 4.3 or higher.

A short demo of the theme in action follows after the jump.
