Hedone Design let me know that they have just released a new premium BlackBerry theme that Windows Vista fans will definitely enjoy called VistaLike.

This is the real Win Vista Replica theme for BlackBerry. With sharp and clean graphics and additional buttons. Beside classical icons that you find on HomeScreen this theme provides a bit more. Signal and battery meters are buttons and the same goes for clock and date. That way you don’t have to leave HomeScreen to get to any of frequently used functions or programs.

Features and functions:

• Signal meter / Manage Connections button
• Battery meter / Options button
• 3 user Customizable Icons
• Today Section (Comes in five different options):
  • Zen
  • Today Preview
  • Today Plus
  • Today Calendar
  • Today Messages
• Clock – Date / Clock button
• 4 user Customizable Icons (bottom dock)
• AppScreen button

VistaLike is available for various BlackBerry models in different variations and comes with a free wallpaper expansion pack. Until November 6th you can get the VistaLike theme for $3.49 (50% off), after that it goes up to $6.99. For more info check out VistaLike in the store.

RIMGeeks has released a new version of their handy BlackBerry Swiss Army Knife (BBSAK) Windows desktop application.

New in BBSAK v1.6:

• Brand New Tabbed Layout for better organization
• Animated app expansion
• Multiple COD install now available through the “Install COD(s)” button
• Multiple COD removal now available through the “Remove COD(s)” button (Read system required to remove cods)
• Install JAD files (ALL CODs referenced in JAD file must be in the SAME FOLDER as JAD)
• JAD Maker now included! (Box is drag and drop for windows xp and vista users only)
• New BB Screenshot Preview! – Preview your screenshot before you save it!
• RESTORE APPS BUTTON IS BACK!!! (NOTE** will install all files under “BBSAK BACKUP” in the applications section of your blackberry removing this app will remove ALL apps in the backup!!!!! THE ALX IS STILL CREATED!!! feel free to install that via loader.exe or blackberry desktop manager)

This desktop app has helped me out a few times where I bricked my BlackBerry (not on purpose of course). Luckily I had made a backup of my 3rd party apps with BBSAK so it was easy to install all of them at once instead of one-by-one. Backing up 3rd party apps is not all BBSAK can do and RIMGeeks is continuously working to improve it with new features and fixes.

For more info and to download BBSAK v1.6 visit the RIMGeeks project page.
