Due to the recent outage of last week, RIM is offering over a $100 worth of free apps, starting Oct 19th for four weeks, here is a list of the apps already set to be free, with more to be added:

• SIMS 3 - Electronic Arts
• Bejeweled - Electronic Arts
• N.O.V.A. - Gameloft
• Texas Hold’em Poker 2 - Gameloft
• Bubble Bash 2 - Gameloft
• Photo Editor Ultimate - Ice Cold Apps
• DriveSafe.ly Pro - iSpeech.org
• iSpeech Translator Pro - iSpeech.org
• Drive Safe.ly Enterprise - iSpeech.org
• Nobex Radio™ Premium - Nobex
• Shazam Encore - Shazam
• Vlingo Plus: Virtual Assistant - Vlingo

This probably won't satisfy most users, there will be complaints still, but the outage didn't last that long and is the first one I have experienced. I have a blackberry because of BBM, I love that app. I may pick up one or two of the free apps, like the translator one and maybe the photo editor one.
 
I have the first bold released, and most new apps won't download for me.  I need a new phone but keep delaying to avoid signing a new contract with Rogers.
 
Someone is a "I work with every device every single day and the Blackberry and Windows Phones are like the retarded cousins of Iphone and Android."

Blackberry's only relevancy is if you have multiple corporate email accounts, but hey to each their own.

Being someone who also works with nearly all platforms on a daily basis, I'd have to say that you're completely and totally off base. You're obviously biased, and have never used a BB on a daily basis.

Well you're wrong on every count here.  Well played.

My question is how many of them can be run on my 3 year old BB? Likely none which renders the gesture meaningless. Not every one runs out and gets a new phone every year.
 
So the only two available as free right now is: Drive Safe.ly and Bubble Bash 2.

I downloaded the drive safe.ly one last night to try it out and it was hilarious getting my friends to text and hearing the messages, but the novelty wears off fast and I doubt I'd use the app when driving as to reply to a text I couldnt get it to work, it would only read the messages.

I thought all the free apps would be avaiable but only 2 so far.
