Mobile Themes

Mobile phones are a must-have accessory for the modern generation and there are many types available on the market. Purchasing a mobile phone can be a costly experience so it is good to know that you can save some cash if you decide to customise your mobile. A method of exercising thriftiness is to opt for a free theme for your chosen mobile.

A free theme is basically a specific design for your mobile phone screen. Free themes come in many schemes, styles, designs, colours, patterns and with characters. Many mobiles also have the ability to change icons, screensavers and battery indicators to gel with the free theme you have chosen. It is best to check that your phone is compatible with the free theme facility as some makes are not designed to have this option. It is commonplace for newer models of mobile to be able to facilitate free themes. The types of phones that will let you download a free theme for your phone include models from Nokia and Sony Ericsson.

The internet is awash with websites dedicated to mobile themes which are free of charge; and the bonus is that they can be downloaded either to your computer or direct to your mobile. It is recommended that you find all of the available mobile themes to find the corresponding ones for your phone due to the difference in operation systems for different mobiles. For instance, a free theme specifically designed for a Nokia 6600 will not work on a Nokia E65. You will find that many websites categorise their mobile themes so that you can identify the themes for each mobile phone model quite easily.

Some of the most common phone themes can be found for include the Nokia and Sony Ericsson models. Ranges including the Nokia S60 handsets will accommodate mobile themes. One of the favourites in this range is the Nokia N70. A search for Nokia themes for the series 60 mobiles will produce a lot of results; this series commonly has themes which are 176 x 208 resolution and that are easily converted.

Probably one of the most popular phones you can choose is the Nokia S60 3rd Edition. This series uses Symbian software which makes it one of the most up-to-date phones available on the current market. Generally the Nokia S60 3rd Edition range of mobiles has a screen size of 240 x 320. These models have a large community on the internet and so finding free themes for these phones is an simple task. Nokia’s latest offering is the Nokia S60 5th Edition series which was developed from the ground up, has a growing selection of Nokia themes all created by some very talented artists. For the moment you can get Nokia themes for the Nokia 5800 and the Nokia N97.

Of the available models on the market, the Sony Ericsson v4.7 phone range is a common choice. The free themes you will find for these Sony Ericsson models usually have a screen size of 240 x 320. The Sony Ericsson themes for these phones have three navigation keys instead of the two like on previous models; this means that certain themes for previous models will not work as well or even at all on a Sony Ericsson v4.7 model.
