BlackBerry: $100 Worth of FREE Premium Apps for Outage

Starting today (Wednesday, October 19, 2011), Research in Motion (RIM), the maker of the BlackBerry will be giving away $100 worth of premium apps for free to their subscribers! This is in response to the major outages that they had last week. This is BlackBerry’s way to express their appreciation for your patience during the recent service disruptions. RIM’s enterprise customers will also be offered one month of free Technical Support.

The complete selection of premium apps will become available to download at BlackBerry App World over a period of four weeks beginning Wednesday, October 19th. The selections over this period will include the following (with more to come):

• SIMS 3 – Electronic Arts
• Bejeweled – Electronic Arts
