Happy Halloween From BerryReview! Don’t Forget To Create a Zombie Avatar

Its hard to believe another year has passed by. The BerryReview team want to wish all of our readers a happy and safe Halloween weekend. Things have been pretty hairy up here in the northeast with a freak snow storm but hopefully that won’t ruin the festivities. Just as a reminder from last year you can have quite a bit of fun if you create your own zombie avatar for BBM and other profiles out of any picture of your face. You can do it free at www.makemeZombie.com.

Let us know if you have any other special way you celebrate Halloween with your BlackBerry! Extra credit if it involves a fun Halloween prank or costume!
