Well I locked myself out of the options area on my phone, pulled a wild card and decided to reinstall the entire operating system of my phone and see what that does.
Well it turns out that the new themes that are free on the net, work now.
The firware on Tmobile’s website is ancient compared to what’s on blackberry’s website.
This Forum Post was my lifesaver.

In summary you download the new firmware and get the new desktop manager, run the install for the firmware and install the desktop manager, do not run the dtm till you get to the folder where you delete “vendor.xml”
in that same folder you will see “Loader.exe” once you delete the vendor file, run the loader.
It will tell you that you have a more current version on your pc than on your phone. Go through the full install.
After the 40 minutes or so of loading and installing close loader when it says it’s done. Now run the DTM do the install/update in that list you will see a whole lot of stuff, if it’s really techy and you don’t know what it is, install it, you need it, or your phone will be stuck in a boot and crash loop. Actually that’s what i did. I installed everything except for languages I can’t speak.

I actually went a whole day of the phone crashing and rebooting while at work before I tried that final step. So at least test out your phone first before that final step.
now my phone shuts down and reboots faster than it ever had. Programs load faster than ever.
One strange thing happened, was there was an image in my memory card that was corrupt, so every time I tried to change my desktop background, the phone would crash again.
Plugged in my cable deleted teh file and all is good again.
