Cyborg is a very nice theme from Cocky Culture that was recently updated to support non-touchscreen devices. The theme features custom icons, homescreen layout, and really brings a unique look to your BlackBerry smartphone. My favorite customization in the theme is the actual cyborg head. The mouth moves as you scan through your icons, and the eyes dim and fade as your battery drains. Overall its a really cool, completely custom theme that is sure to make your BlackBerry stand out.

You can pick up Cyborg on sale at the CrackBerry App Store for $1.99. It is available for the 8500, 8900, 9100, 9300, 9500, 9600 and 9700 series devices.

Ryan did an in depth review of mProductive by Basis Design last week. I think the general consensus from the comments was it looks like a nice app and possibly a good time saver, but it’s a bit on the expensive side, even with a trial available. Well, folks, this is your lucky day. If you’re interested in mProductive for your BlackBerry, read on!

To recap, mProductive is advertised as the "ultimate BlackBerry to do list and time management application". The app manages your next actions, priorities and projects all through a single interface to your BlackBerry Task List, Calendar, Memo pad, emails, calls and sms. Also I’d like to point out that mProductive was awarded a Regional Selection in the 2010 BlackBerry Partners Fund Super Apps Developer Challenge. While mProductive is available for a wide variety of devices, there is no Torch support at this time. (Don’t shoot the messenger, it’s likely in a future update folks.)

• For more info or to download the trial of mProductive >>
• To read Ryan’s review of mProductive in the CrackBery blogs>>

Contest: To celebrate the release of mProductive on CrackBerry we have been given 25 copies to give away. Just leave a comment letting us know what you like most about mProductive or how you’re planning to use it and you’ll be automatically entered in the drawing to win one of 25 free copies. One entry per person please; contest ends this Sunday at Midnight PST.
