Service is MUCH BETTER in New York City and New Jersey. Worlds apart.
However the desktop theme on Cingular is diffiicult for me to get my arms around.
How can I use the desktop icons with Cingular like the way they appeared on Nextel Phone?
Please advise.

what bb do you use? also you can use the new plazmic themes and make ur own

That may be your problem...Blackberry's are only designed for your hands.

If your using the 7100g goto:

Settings->Options->Themes

From there you will see a list. You can alos download more if you click on the wheel and choose "download themes"

i go to setting options and themes on the cingular and there is only one choice, DEFAULT.
I know in the old nextel one there were other options like DOWNLOAD THEMES.
That option in not on Cingular. Anyone know why??
Thanks
BlackCrack- I use the 7100 from Nextel now 7100 from Cingular

By the way, I have an unlimited voice plan for only 150 a month. I can refer someone to it and it is good until the account is cancelled. It cant be beat if you are a Nextel user.
I also have brand new 7520 and lots of extras like the bigger battery, car charger, swivel clip etc.
And, now I also have a brand new 7100i with all the same equipment as above, big battery, car chargers, swivel clip. All in great condition.
Company switched to Cingular and all this stuff is not good to me now.
Please email me at with offers or questions.
Thanks.
