Research In Motion (TSX:RIM) says it will offer its Blackberry
subscribers a selection of premium apps worth a total of $100 for free. The Waterloo, Ont.-based company says the offer is to show appreciation
for customers' patience during the recent service disruptions. Outages for RIM email, texting and Internet services began last Monday
in Europe and spread to the Middle East, Africa and North and South America for varying lengths of time before services were fully restored
on Thursday. The apps will be made available over the coming weeks on BlackBerry App World and will continue to be available until Dec. 31. RIM also says its enterprise customers will be offered one month of free technical support. In a statement early Monday, RIM co-CEO Mike Lazaridis said the company
is grateful to its loyal BlackBerry customers for their patience. "We have apologized to our customers and we will work tirelessly to
restore their confidence. We are taking immediate and aggressive steps
to help prevent something like this from happening again."
