I ALREADY TRIED DOWNLOADING THEMES FOR R300I FROM DIFFERENT SITES. MY R300I WAS UNABLE TO ACCEPT THEMES BECAUSE EVERY TIME I DOWNLOAD FROM the COMPUTER & USE IT, IT SAYS the THEME IS CORRUPT, SO RIGHT NOW I am JUST STUCK TO the FOUR THEMES INSTALLED IN MY PHONE, I EVEN TRY TO MAKE A THEME USING Sony Ericsson THEME CREATOR & STILL FAILED TO USE IT. I ALSO TRIED UPDATING MY R300I SOFTWARE BUT IT DIDN'T HELP. WHAT CAN I DO?
