How To Change the Color of Your Blackberry Pearl

September 2nd, 2007 | Published in Tech

I just found this amazing, yet simple, application for my Blackberry Pearl. The app is called “ColorPearl” and it allows you to change the color of the pearl’s light on your Blackberry Pearl mobile phone. (Note from the website: The BlackBerry 8800 and Curve/8300 do not have the colored LEDs behind the trackball, so there is no way to make ColorPearl work on them.)

To use ColorPearl on your Blackberry Pearl, go to www.geekandproud.net/blackberry-software on your phone and scroll down to the ColorPearl application.
Click on the link that says “OTA install” and you will be prompted to download the application to your phone.
Select “Download” and wait for the download to complete.
Then go into the Options from the Blackberry Pearl’s main menu & you will see a new option in there for “ColorPearl.”
Select that option and you will then be able to pick the color you want your Pearl’s pearl to be. You can even make up your own color by typing in a custom RRGGBB combination!
Remember to “Save” your changes when you exit from your “Options” menu.

That’s it - your Blackberry Pearl’s Pearl will be a beautiful color now!

The software is a free download but the author would like a donation, and I’d say he deserves one.
