With all the hype of the new BlackBerry Storm2 people are forgetting about the original Storm that, while not perfect, was the first touchscreen BlackBerry device and showed RIM’s shift of focus. Here are nine free themes (some available in different versions) for the BlackBerry Storm 9500 and 9530 that really stuck out to me. Only a few of these themes have ZIP files for desktop installation so if you need those or want to leave feedback for the themes you can do so at their respective theme/store page. Otherwise just click the links below to download the themes directly to your BlackBerry Storm.

• How To:
  • Install applications and themes via OTA with or without using data
  • Install Applications and Themes via Desktop Manager

Note: The Rezon themes say they are compatible with touchscreen BlackBerry devices running OS 5.0.
