* UPDATE I’ve created the dedicated page. It can be viewed at blackberryrocks.com/bitly-links *

I’ve been using bit.ly for quite some time, for everything I do on the web. Bit.ly is, in my opinion, the best URL shortening site. Not to mention that there is a free application for BlackBerry called bit.lify, which I’m hoping will be updated with more features in the future.

Today I decided to go crazy with bit.ly and bit.lified all the good stuff here on BlackBerry Rocks! You will now be able to save shorter links instead of the long ones, and they are very easy to remember.

Here are some examples:

• How To: Backup And Restore Your BlackBerry -> bit.ly/backuprest
• Pearl 8100 Series Themes & Wallpapers -> bit.ly/8100themes
• Curve 8900 Apps & Games -> bit.ly/8900apps
• Latest BlackBerry Operating Systems -> bit.ly/bbOS

All you have to do is replace the series number with your series number. I’ve put together a list of all the available bit.ly links for my site after the jump.

I will also be making a page dedicated to listing all my bit.lified links soon. Let me know what you think!

HD FutureX by Hedone Design, is an innovative theme that tackles how to get more than 10 buttons on the home screen while still being wallpaper friendly. At first glance, you’ll see wallpaper displaying a blue sky and wheat-colored field.  Hidden in the lower part of the screen are three boxes that each contain a hidden dock holding customizable icons.  Hedone describes these as “15 in 3″ buttons.  All of you need to know that this “natureful” theme is also quite functional and should be a welcome addition to any BlackBerry.

The FutureX theme is normally priced at $6.99. Deal of Day price is just $3.49!
