6 Websites to create Mobile themes online.

In a previous post, I wrote about Ownskin (The best site to create mobile skins). Like Ownskin, following are some other sites that also offer the functionality of making themes online

1. Zedge – As good as Ownskin (Even better and more popular according to some reviews). Offers “Theme Maker Tool” for almost all mobile models. Other useful services provided are – Screen Saver Maker, Voice and simple ringtone Maker, Wallpaper Maker (Animated or with other effects). There is also a huge collection of user created themes to be freely downloaded at Zedge.

2. Astod – Another excellent site (Not as good as Ownskin and Zedge though). Offers “Nokia Theme Maker” (Only for S40 3rd Ed. and S60 2nd and 3rd Ed. phones) that also makes animated themes. Another interesting service at Astod is “Nokia Theme Changer” – changes Nokia themes automatically according to battery and time of your mobile. Besides, you can also make animated wallpapers with any picture.

3. The Unlocker (Better known for its free mobiles unlocking tools) – Provides an online Nokia theme creator (For S60 3rd Ed. and S40 3rd Ed. phones only). There is also a Ringtone creator.

4. Bwap – It offers a basic Theme creator for Nokia, Sony Ericsson, Siemens and Windows Mobile phones. There is also an “Online Video Convertor”, “YouTube Mobile video Search”, “Free Mobile Wap Radio” and “Mobile TV”.

5. Goggagmobile – It also provides an online “Theme creator” tool (Only for S40, S60 2nd Ed. and Sony Ericsson phones) with limited options and still in beta. There is also a “Wallpaper Maker” option.
Note however that themes for Symbian S60 5th Ed. touch screen phones can only be made at Ownskin and Zedge.
