the files you downloaded should have been .jad files. simply go to options, scroll down to themes, and find the one you just downloaded. if you tried to download a .zip file onto your phone that wont work. if it is a zip you have to download it to your pc and upload to your phone through desktop manager which converts it for you

bigwilly if u dont have a memcard in the phone u will need to use media manager and move it on to the phone and then explorer the phone via media on the blackberry and explorer and looking for it,

or u can copy the jad link and email it to your bb or u can use the otaloader i will post to just copy the link in there hit download and it will extract the jad into cod/alx so u can use the desktop software to install it

thanks for your help but for some reason, its still giving me the same error message. "901 Invalid COD File no found". Any idea? I copied the .jad file straight to my media card through the mass storage option and then tried to run it from my phone.
