Many BlackBerry users install personalized ring tones or wallpapers on their handsets. If you own a BlackBerry 8100 (better known as a BlackBerry Pearl), you can personalize your handset even further by downloading a free program called Color Pearl. This BlackBerry application will allow you to change the LED color when your handset flashes you. Instead of the green, red or yellow lights that indicate your BlackBerry Pearl status, you have the option to choose your favorite color or one that goes with your personality.
