Little Introduction
I'm a full time student in computer programming. I study more precisely in web development and web design. Being busy at school and work cost me to have a phone of my choice to keep me updated with my schedule, contacts and communications with friends and family. Looking at the Blackberry Pearl was the number 1 choice to make my everyday life easier. I knew at the time that the iPhone was not coming in Canada for a long time. So I've searched for a nice iPhone theme for my 8100 but couldn't find a very nice one free. I gave up. After month of using the phone, I wanted to create my own and share it with the community to help more theme creaters to release their themes free. After 4 days non-stop working on the theme, I finally managed to release a first version for the Blackberry Pearl 8100 with OS v.4.2.1. As time goes on and support for this project. Thanks for taking interest in this.
