RaT Rating = 93.74%

IVista3 is another great theme created by Zman Designs. This theme is the continuation of the iVista line of themes and is by far the best. It gives your Blackberry the true Vista look with “My Computer” and “Network” icons. It also has gadgets that you can add or remove from the home screen.

The theme is 1.3Mb, which is an average size for a theme. The theme is very detailed so the size isn’t too bad.

The theme runs smooth and runs without delay with everything except for one thing. The one thing that has a little delay when using it is the media gadget. When trying to get to pictures, music, or videos through the gadget it is slightly delayed but it works.

The memory is very stable for the first 24 hours of running the theme. After the first 24 hours the memory leaks slowly.

IV3 doesn’t affect the battery at all. It doesn’t put any extra stress on the battery and will not cause the battery to drain more then usual.

The Graphic User Interface (GUI) is very nicely layed out on this theme. It definetly gives you the Vista look look on your blackberry. Every part of this theme has serious thought put into it and the time for detail is also there.

There is nothing buggy about this theme. Everything works as its suppose to in both portrait and landscape mode.

The storm version is very responsive to the touch screen and everything is very accurate when using the touch screen on all aspects of the theme.

IV3 is going to be priced at $5.00 which is a good value for the amount of time and detail put into the theme.

The theme does exactly what it claims, it gives your Blackberry the look and feel of Windows Vista.

The theme is easy to navigate. All the home screen icons work and are clearly there. There is no hidden spots or unclear icons. There is 12 icons on the home screen that are all customized by the user. There is 2 locations for your network options and access options from the home screen as well.

All the fonts fit the boxes and windows perfectly. All the fonts are also perfect sizes. They are not too small or too big.

This is with both Gadgets open

There are a couple extra functions that stand out to me. One is the “Gadget” option on the home screen. You can show or hide the weather icon and the media panel depending on what u want. Another extra function is the power button in the application menu changes color when you have it selected. When its not selected its green and when you have it selected it turns red. There is also a icon on the homescreen “Today Info” which has your calendar with a hidden today and your message folder.

My first impresstion of this theme of this theme when I loaded it and activated it was “wow”. To point out a couple things that really stand out to me is the home screen colors. The bottom bar is kind of translucent and it takes the color of the picture you set for your background. So this theme is wallpaper friendly. Another wow factor is the amount of time that was put into the color scheme of the theme, everything fits perfect. Also the amount of detail put into the icons. There is not one stock icon and every icon is highly detailed and customly made.
