More goodness today on the BlackBerry 9800 Slider. This time in a near four minute video showing off the device with an AT&T splash screen. While some navigating looks a bit rough, we do get a much better look at BlackBerry 6 than we have recently, so you don't want to miss it. For those who don't know what BlackBerry 6 is all about, it will feature some key enhancements:
We also get a decent look at the native Youtube integration with the OS itself in this video. You don't have to take my word for it - check out the video above and see how it compares to the BlackBerry 6 preview video shown off at WES. Be sure to drop a comment with your thoughts.

Remember that little gold plus sign icon called "BlackBerry HELP!" on your BB that sends you to a terribly outdated site that hardly ever gets new content? Well surprise surprise, its been updated. Not too much, but it looks like the ringtones section has has some significant upgrades. Lots of categories, and they're actually pretty cool. I can't tell you how many times I've been cruising Walmart (yes, I go there...sometimes) when I hear the default 'crystal' notifier 3 times from some poor BB owner who doesn't know any better. Your notifications can say so much about you! Gotta personalize people! Find some tones that you love and put em to work. See an earlier post on how to do this: Ringtones and Notifications. This was written before OS 5.0 was released which makes things a lot easier.
There have been an outstanding 6 new wallpapers added! Its really just 2 with different text and zoomed, but they're not bad I guess. 
As for themes, I don't know why they bother. The themes link just takes you to another link to Bplay. I guess there are plenty of themes on App World right now. I just don't see the point of keeping this link active. The only reason I can see is pretty obvious I guess: $$$. Bplay has got some deal going with RIM. There is also a link to Bplay for premium ringtones. Ringtones should never be paid for in my opinion; especially on a BlackBerry where you can make any song or sound ANY notification. 
One of the surprising options I found is to set your BB to vibrate and notify you when you have traveled a specified distance. This could be extremely useful for runners and bikers. You can even set it to alert you at every mile. I think that's pretty sweet.
Give it a try! Its free. More info and download links below.

My new theme of choice is called BlackBerry Pro Version 5. Its clean and simple and there are a lot of icons on the main screen without clutter. Counting the weather slot, there are 16 icons on the main screen. The 7 large ones are customizable and the small ones on the bottom are not. Update: Natemz has updated his masterpiece to version 5.1 which makes all icons customizable. The weather slot in the top right corner always displays the temp and conditions (I use weathereye). To use the weather slot, just move your weathereye icon to the first position.
