Getting Your New BlackBerry Theme Onto Your BlackBerry

1) Copy from your PC

First download the new theme to your PC and unzip it if necessary. Plug your Blackberry to your computer, open your Desktop Manager software and select Application Loader. Choose ‘Open’, then ‘Add’. When the dialog box opens up, find the “alx” file associated with the theme you have just downloaded, select it, and click OK.

2) Over The Air (OTA)

To download a theme to your BlackBerry Over-The-Air, simply open the Browser application on your BlackBerry and go to the URL specified by the theme provider. Your BlackBerry will automatically download the theme and install it on your device.
