    BB & premium apps should not be in the same sentence

    • Applesucksfatties

      yeah.. because the hundreds of fart apps and buggy free apps in App world are all “premium”…

      • Doesntmatter

        No because of RIM

        my friend’s step-aunt makes 70$/hour on the computer. She has been unemployed for 5 months but last month her pay was 7740$ just working on the computer for a few hours. Read about it on this web site MakeCash1.com

      • Applesucksfatties

        @Jessie87567:disqus – what a coincidence!! BringIt’s mom also makes seventy an hour.. but she just uses the computer to “set up appointments”.  Her real work is done “in the field” (aka.  the local no-tell motel). 

      • Plazmic Flame

        The reason why this is all a joke is because the amount of memory to install apps is garbage. You’ll probably be able to install 4, MAX.

      • Applesucksfatties

        @Plazmic:disqus - maybe with the old BBs but not with the BB7 devices…. and BB apps use far less memory than those in iTunes…

      • RIMFAIL

        Get with the times as*munch, BB Apps are total dogsh*t compared to Android/Apple/WM7. No one wants to make apps for a ‘has been’ platform.

        RIM is years behind the competition.

      • Applesucksfatties

        So what GREAT apps do you have on your iToy that RIM doesn’t have?   

        If find it funny that you say RIM is years behind the competition.. since Apple just got OTA updates and a native messaging app… 

        Good job Apple tool!!

        70million people have those crappy BB’s?  That’s a big number Applesucksfatties, your boyfriend QXN give you that data?  It will be 6 months before Apple has more devices in use than your BB losers.  RIM is going DOWN!

    Sorry you couldn’t respond to your boss in time and you were fired…here’s Angry Birds for free…your welcome.

    • Applesucksfatties

      my guess is 1. the boss has a BlackBerry too.   2.  Do people not have desktop or web email clients?   I can get my email both on my desktop and via webmail…    Not sure why this was even an issue.. 

      • RIMFAIL

        Hey moron, did you ever think some companies have employees who don’t sit at a desk? Yeah what a concept.

        Yes some companies don’t issue laptops anymore.

        More than likley they wouldn’t be on BB.

        So how are they going to respond to emails?

      • Applesucksfatties

        Hey Fail douche…
        BB service was down for a day…  once in the last 2-3 years… cry me a f*cking river. 

         

      • RIMFAIL

        Your just mad. Your perfect little failing company takes another hit. This won’t be the last time either.

      • Applesucksfatties

        sure… because RIMs existence.. or non-existence has an impact on you how?  Exactly, just another trolling loser that has nothing better to do.  Take your butt buddy BringIt and get lost..

        Hey moron did you know only BIS was down not BES. stop fingering yourself in the azz bro

      • RIMFAIL

        RIM’s existence helped other devices pass by RIM.  Good job again RIM, good game plan.

    That’s real nice. Here have a free .99 app to make you feel better.

      Do you want, a million dollars?

      Give it a rest.

    • Applesucksfatties

       Monthly service fee = Thirty dollars

      # of days in month = thirty

      Days down = one

      How would you like your dollar credit?

      • GZ

        You don’t get it. It’s not about how much the service cost (which is more corporate wide). It’s about lost productivity in the business world. My boss relies exclusively on his BB corporate email and this caused some serious issues when he was travelling. I couldn’t get the proper email replies to move on certain things. Free CRAPPS cannot make up for the downtime. PERIOD!!!

      • Applesucksfatties

        I’m not saying it wasn’t an inconvenience (some were impacted more than others) but it isn’t like BlackBerry service goes down weekly.   I think 1 day in the past 2-3 years isn’t a showstopper….

      • getreal

        Your boss (and you) couldnt use the phone to you know, make a phone call, to move on those certain things?

      • Applesucksfatties

        @357a20e8c56e69d6f9734d23ef9517e8:disqus – what?  the phone?  OMG, that is so 2005.. it is just easier to say that it couldn’t be done and then bitch about RIM..

    • Rudy

      Those aren’t 0.99 apps…if you ever looked at the latest numbers…if you got money you own a Blackberry, hence why the average Blackberry developer makes a lot more money off their apps then Apple and Google developers.

    LOL what a kick in the junk. Those apps are a joke. No one wants to type on a physical keyboard. RIM will be dead in two years  true story™©®

    I never expect anything to be handed over to me so thank you Blackberry!!  I don’t know why we have so many haters on here.  Things like this will happen more as the years become nothing but technology.  I don’t depend on man and machine where something like this could impact my day.  I love my bb calendar, but I know anything can happen so I still use my weekly planner to write down things as well.

    Who wants shitty apps for free? And besides, RImjobbing morons says all apps are worthless fart bird apps. We don’t need no stinking apps they say.

      The service does not work, but here’s some shitty free apps you can’t even use!  Yeah, that should solve the problem.

        actually, they are some pretty great apps. do your research before you post.

      • Bringit

        Typical response from the weak loser that you are.  You can not defend the total mess that is RIM anymore, so you resort to childish name calling.  Almost like a company majorly f-king up, and then offering a few free apps like a band aid.  You are truly the weakest douche in here.

      • Applesucksfatties

        Yeah.. BringIt tough guy…   Speaking of childish name calling, you gonna resort to trying to anal rape me in the woods again?  GET LOST LOSER.  NOBODY WANTS YOU YEAR.  GO BEAT OFF TO YOUR NEW iTURD!

    • RIMFAIL

      From RIM:

      Dear BlackBerry users,

      We really suck. We really fu*ked up, our sh*t doesn’t work. Our plan is to re-abortionize the same phone over and over in 2011-2012. Yes keep paying an extra 10.00 a mo for BES. Sure it’s free on every other platform, but we’ll give you some out dated app for free. In closing please upgrade your phones, they will continue to suck, we might build a 4G phone someday.

      RIM

      • Applesucksfatties

        Yeah buddy.. because the i4S… er i3GS+ version 2 isn’t a reabortionized POS that Apple keeps releasing.  The worst part is that they have one form factor that they release once a year…   How hard is it to put something better than a greeting card maker and Siri (the personal assistant for those people that are too stupid to check outside if determine if they need to bring an umbrella).

      • RIMFAIL

        Apple doesn’t need to reinvent perfection do they?

        I haven’t seen a decent upgrade from those RIM blowhards in 2 years.

      • RIMFAIL

        Hey d*cksucker, have you seen the camera on the 4S?  Let’s see your RIMMers come up with anything close.  Oh wait, your probably still downloading your 100.00 of free apps.

        That must really suck only downloading ONE APP at a time.  Wow the innovation at RIM just blows me away, makes me want a BB device.  Can’t wait to get 100.00 of free sh*tty apps!

      • RIMFAIL

        Applesucksfatties- I would hate to see a head to head BB vs 4S tests.  The 4S would whoop the sh*t out of your BB in every performance test.  Well that is if the BB didn’t require a battery pull mid-test.

        Shoot, then it would be another 9 minutes to start the device.

        Oh well, at least 72 hrs out outage to 70,000,000 will get them 100.00 in free sh*tty apps.

      • Applesucksfatties

        @dd48c51a29813ce970951e95ab83eea8:disqus  – Ooh.. battery pull. You got me there.  How is it working out for you trying to replace your iPhone battery?    How was OTA updates working out for you prior to last week.. oh wait, you didn’t have them.   And at least get your facts straight… there were 20-30 million that had 2-3 outage.. the bulk of the users in the US and Canada experienced less than a day of issues.  Funny how you bring this up when Apple’s servers crashed a couple days ago like a drunken driver on a 3 day bender. 

      • RIMFAIL

        Apple’s servers were overwhelmed because of the amount of activation dumbf*ck. Not because of hardware failure!

        Apple had a problem that FAILURE IN MOTION will never have.

        I suppose they could have failure of massive inactivations at FIM. That’s more likely.

      • Applesucksfatties

        @fef3651a686e4861e21b8b58e9124256:disqus – So the hardware failure too very little time to fix.. it was all of the data that backed up that caused the delay in getting back to normal working order.   Aside from the minor hardware issue, how is that any different than Apples servers crashing?   Either way, the customer isn’t getting what they want….whether it be the email that they sent or the new OS upgrade (I use the term upgrade very loosely).   Being a total Apple f*ck, you can sugar coat it all you want… but facts are facts

      • RIMFAIL

        Your right, facts are facts.. And the bottom line stays the same.. Apple and Google and kicking the snot out of RIM..soon there will be no more RIM!

      • Applesucksfatties

        @fef3651a686e4861e21b8b58e9124256:disqus – well, if that happens.. congratuf*ckinglations..     Guess what, you’ll still be a limp dicked loser that lives in his trailer and thinks his iTurd is the greatest thing since sliced bread.   Like it or not, competition in the market pushes innovation (well.. it pushes others to innovate and Apple to copy)…

    What a joke. I am already regretting having bought my Bold 9930.  IMAP sync is still not two-way, despite the recent upgrades, and to make up for a services outage they offer a bunch of apps that I do not need. After 10+ years at a Blackberry customer I think it is time to move on.

    • Applesucksfatties

      1 day of downtime….  what do you expect them to do?  Give you a Mercedes or a luxury vacation?  

      • RIMFAIL

        Did you read what he said? I guess not- he said IMAP sync isn’t supported after 10 flippen years.

        Another smooth move by RIM. Last innovation RIM created was 1999 when they creates push email.

      • Applesucksfatties

        As compared to Apple innovation in the greeting card make…. GO CUPERTINO!!!

      • RIMFAIL

        Unlike the clueless wonders at RIM, iOS has supported IMAP for years. Along with Android and WM7. The close minded approach RIM has taken will be their fall.

        I suppose you can’t get IMAP on a PlayBook either? Oh wait- no native email on PlayBook. Smooth move again RIM.

      • Applesucksfatties

        Native email will be out soon.. douche…..

        Maybe I can ask Vilingo when your limp dick ass is going to get a life and stop wasting my time on iBGR….or how many Apple execs you are going to “service” this weekend.. or better yet, when your trailer is going to get caught up in a tornado and not only leave you unemployed.. but also homeless.

      • RIMFAIL

        They don’t have Vlingo in my device.. So maybe you can ask Vlingo to preform these for your dumba*s!

      • Applesucksfatties

        @fef3651a686e4861e21b8b58e9124256:disqus – I’ll check on all of those things for you because 1. I’m tired of you wasting my time out here.  2.  you really need to know how many Apple execs you are going to service this weekend so you can buy an adequate amount of chap stick.  3.  I want you to be prepared when a tornado hits your trailer.  You can make sure Jabba is home so the tornado wont be able to pick the trailer up…..

      • RIMFAIL

        Well then ask Vlingo is BBX is going to be another flop. See what Vlingon has to say tough guy.

  • Garyvw

    Will these apps be free for playbooks?

    • Applesucksfatties

      I hope so…. That along with OS 2.0 being release (hopefully this week)… will be great.

      • RIMFAIL

        Your Android emulator will produce better apps than BB App World. Oh wait only 12% of the Android Apps work on the PlayBook. Smooth move RIM.

      • Applesucksfatties

        Good job tool… Great apps are already on the PlayBook.. ever hear of Poynt, uTrack, Evernote, QFolio, GroovyNotes, Score Mobile?

      • RIMFAIL

        Yeah what’s great about an app that requires a Fu*king bridge to access the web. Fu*king ingenious if you ask me.

        My name says it all.

      • Applesucksfatties

        @fef3651a686e4861e21b8b58e9124256:disqus – your name should be iSUCKAPPLEC*CK….  that would say it all.

        Are you jealous of the bridge function.. I mean, why pay for two data plans?   And being both a BlackBerry and a PlayBook owner, I really could care less if it had native email/calendar/PIM..  why would I need to access them in two different spots?    Don’t be mad, look on the bright side, at least you can send greeting cards…   you are so better off than my 80 year old grandma who just buys one at Target and puts it in the mail.  

      • RIMFAIL

        Jealous of a BRIDGE function?  Are you serious?  Who the F wants a lame a*s bridge function.  It won’t be long until AT&T puts the kibosh on that.  AT&T hates free tether and is going after MyWi users.

        The bridge is a bunch of crap.  It’s quite obvious no one wants a PlayBook.

      • Applesucksfatties

        @dd48c51a29813ce970951e95ab83eea8:disqus – AT&T already tried putting the kibosh on it…  but we have OTA updates that allow us to side load the non-ATT bridege file..  Sorry sucka..  And of course you don’t care about it.. because your crApple ipad doesn’t have it.  

        And the only thing that is quite obvious here is that you are a loser troll with nothing better to do.. 

      • RIMFAIL

        All the apps Fatties likes suck compared to the ‘$77′ of free sh*tty apps RIM giving away. Maybe they should change their name to FIM.. FAILURE IN MOTION.

      • Applesucksfatties

        You better get off iBGR and go find your kneepads.  I hear some Apple execs are on their way over to your house…. you’ll want to be prepared to start sucking right away so you better run along.  Don’t keep your idols waiting….

      • RIMFAIL

        Fatties is a busy guy now that he’s got Vlingo. Fatties finally has someone to boss around.

        Having fun with your SIMS 3 Fatties? I bet your fata*s wife likes your Photo Editor to remove her chins.

      • Applesucksfatties

        @fef3651a686e4861e21b8b58e9124256:disqus  here are what your numerous posts this past week consist of…  Apps, Brick, and Wife   
        Your posts = BORING      I don’t use Vlingo,  don’t play Sims or
        Bejeweled.   I like the twenty dollar DriveSafe app that RIM is giving away… 
        I recommend that you NOT use it so you get into a crash while reading
        text messages from Jabba asking you to get a couple pizzas for her on
        your way back to the trailer court.

      • RIMFAIL

        Yup back to the trailer park estates.

        Maybe you can use Photo Editor Pro and your Canon Tiger Ti model. It will make the Picts come out professional quality.

  • Farmacoterapy

    Great Really happy about it. And to all those haters get a life and try to use a blackberry before bashing. Did you ever compare poynt on blackberry and poynt on IOS. BBOS allow far more integration and it is really a super app. Until IOS allows for such integration and cross-app talks I am sticking to an OS that allow me to do so much efficiently with shortcuts and few clicks (I have an IPad and a playbook ) and now on Bold 9900. 

    Don’t talk about hings you don’t know about and yes if you had a crappy curve back two years don’t compare it to today OS 7 awesome devices.

  • http://www.flayme.com/troll/ nAnatroll

    RIM you’ve got some fail on your face let me wipe that off for you

    • Applesucksfatties

      I’m curious how Eric Schmidt’s BlackBerry is working out for him..   funny how the master of your precious Android system uses a BlackBerry..   That is the ultimate slap in the face.. like the CEO of Coke drinking a Pepsi.

      • http://www.flayme.com/troll/ nAnatroll

        hiss googleness does not use a blackberry for a everyday device dude. He was pictured using as a novelty phone. BB are teh fail, so sell yours and get a ANDROID.

        ANDROID FTW

      • Applesucksfatties

        Sure buddy.. have another.   It has been widely publicized that Schmidt is never without his BlackBerry.. which doesn’t say a lot about Android.  

      • http://www.flayme.com/troll/ nAnatroll

        i will entertain the possibility, links first.

      • Applesucksfatties

        If I could actually post links on this crappy Disqus board, I might.. however, no need to.  Just Google Eric Schmidt BlackBerry.. and I’m sure you’ll find many articles…

      • RIMFAIL

        Good thing we can’t post links here. We don’t want to see your wife’s obese FaceBook, or FatBook page.

      • Applesucksfatties

        Good thing you don’t have any original material…    Even if my wife had a Facebook page, I wouldn’t post it for dipshits like you to ogle at.   I’m sure Mrs. DOUCHEFAIL would get pissed that you weren’t eyeing up her fugly ass….   

      • RIMFAIL

        Yeah a panarama photo would be necessary to view her wide side. Maybe you can edit that Fat Photo with Photo Editor Ultimate. That will be on Lazaridis, he likes to give away free sh*tty apps.

      • Applesucksfatties

        YAAAAWN.   What is it like to be both BORING and ANNOYING?

      • RIMFAIL

        Again you can edit her fat-a*s with your free photo editor. You can thank Lazaridis for that one.

        Have fun in your family vacation loser.

      • Applesucksfatties

        @fef3651a686e4861e21b8b58e9124256:disqus – family vacation?  Editing photos?  Man, you really need to take your meds.. either that, or check yourself back in to the mental hospital that you escaped from.   How is your Obsession of RIM by DOUCHEFAIL treating you today?   I see you are still rockin it.  

      • RIMFAIL

        Wish I got ‘$77′ of free sh*tty apps! It one hell of a deal. Better have wifi near or you might loose service again!

      • Applesucksfatties

        Hey dumbf*ck….did I loose service..or lose it?  Maybe you should worry less about the apps RIM is giving away and worry more about finding a spell check app in iTunes.

      • RIMFAIL

        Damn it must having a fata*s ugly wife to wake up to. I bet that b*tch sure is hairy after all these years

      • Applesucksfatties

        @fef3651a686e4861e21b8b58e9124256:disqus  – nothing to come back with so you rip on my wife.   You are truly a pathetic loser.   Why don’t you get off the internet, well Mrs. Jabba DOUCHEFAIL out of the trailer and take her to a nice place for dinner tonight..  I’m not talking about the usual case of White Castle sliders or the triple whopper from Burger King that you usually get her..   take her down to the Cracker Barrel… or Old Country Buffet..  splurge alittle and treat Jabba right.   Lord knows she is a saint for marrying your dumb ass.

      • RIMFAIL

        Fatties is on the trailer park band wagon all of a sudden. It must suck living there.

        Hey Fatties got a question for you, do you remember your first blow job?

        Tell us, what did it taste like?

      • Applesucksfatties

        @fef3651a686e4861e21b8b58e9124256:disqus …oooh you got me again.  Don’t have anything better to come back with so now I live in the trailer park.  Haven’t you had enough yet?  Seriously?

        ps.  Aww.. the first BJ joke.   I’m gonna ask you the same thing on Monday.. once you have had a chance to ‘service’ all of the Apple execs.   

      • RIMFAIL

        Yup I knew you were a homo. Better tell the wife, that whore will want to know sooner than later.

        Give us an update on your SIMS fatties…

      • Applesucksfatties

        @fef3651a686e4861e21b8b58e9124256:disqus internet tough guy calling my wife a whore…. why don’t you say that to my face dipshit…  you’ll find youself drinking through a straw for the next 6-8 weeks.  F*cking immature loser…

    • Anonymous

      I told your mom she had some c*m on her face last night she licked it instead of me wiping  it

  • Rod

    Haha wow, this is their way of making it up to people?  Nothing like providing free apps that don’t even run on most older Blackberries.  Smooth move.

  • Justin_L

    This is logically about the only way I can really see RIM repaying the average customer. Lots of people are saying give a free month of BIS or BES service but this is not easily done since it’s a carrier service. App World is really the only way RIM can do this. Good job, RIM!

  • adams

    Look I love my BB and all and I usually back them up but people can’t not deny that they are in a tough place right now.

  • Anonymous

    BGR throws the bone and the idiots run and bite on it typical RIM post tomorrow will shut this down

  • Anonymous

    You all laugh all you can… I’m a heavy heavy BB user. Yes, the outage was very frustrating. Very. But I do feel this is a nice gesture (and clever move) by RIM. I’m sure the vast majority of BB users will agree.

    As an aside, the outage just proved to me how addicted I am to my BB.

  • Applesucksfatties

    @dd48c51a29813ce970951e95ab83eea8:disqus  – oooh.. you can download more than one app at a time.. YAY!!  Congrats!! And why do I care about the camera on my phone when I have a high end DSLR to take picts?  

    • RIMFAIL

      Why carry more that one device? Oh your used to that anyways with your BB bridge garbage.

      • Applesucksfatties

        Because a camera on a phone will never the great quality that a DSLR has (at least with current technology).   And what does the bridge have to do with anything?   I’m curious to know what do you do with your wifi only iPad?  

      • RIMFAIL

        Yup go ahead, while i have one world class device in my pocket, your filling up your fanny pack with a camera, a brided PlayBrick.. What else you have in there??? Your PDA?

        Dipsh*t

      • Applesucksfatties

        @fef3651a686e4861e21b8b58e9124256:disqus -  oooh dipshit.   You have a “world class device” in your pocket?  Is that one of the many Samsung phones that they shipped more of than the iTurd?  

        On a side note.. why don’t you stop posting on RIM articles on iBGR and go play with your “world class device”.

         

    • RIMFAIL

      Hey f*ckbreathe fatties, RIM lies again. I added up the retail price of these free apps, and it’s ‘$77′ not ‘$100′. So now it’s ‘$77′ in free sh*tty apps.. Great one RIM!

      • Applesucksfatties

        I’m sure like your reading comprehension skills, your math skills are sorely lacking as well.  Plus, you still haven’t answered my questions.   1. Do you own/use a BlackBerrry..   and 2. why are you so hung up on the free apps that RIM gave away?    Don’t bother posting anything else until you provide answers…

      • RIMFAIL

        I think its time to get a BlackBrick, can’t wait to play Bubble Bash 2. That will be so much fun.

      • Applesucksfatties

        @fef3651a686e4861e21b8b58e9124256:disqus – I heard you had a new fragrance on the market… it was called Obsession for RIM by DOUCHEFAIL.   It retails for seventy seven dollars and reeks of failure, unemployement, KY, and Apple exec jiz.   Rumor has it that you coat yourself in this fragrance every day… but nobody really gives a sh*t.

      • RIMFAIL

        Yeah that’s pretty funny. Now go play with your free copy of BeJeweled a**hole!

        The question is.. What’s RIM going to f*ck up this week?

      • Applesucksfatties

        @fef3651a686e4861e21b8b58e9124256:disqus – a**hole?   you mad?

      • RIMFAIL

        Hey how’s Bubble Bash 2 dude? I hear good reviews about that first class POS! Looks like Vlingo is awesome too!! Hear BB’s personal assistant really is bad a*s!

    • RIMFAIL

      Have fun with all that sh*t loaded up in your fanny pack. My 4S is easier to use, probably takes better pictures than your Sony.

      Have fun playing BeJewled and NOVA a**hole!!

      • Applesucksfatties

        Actually, I have a Canon Rebel Ti with a few professional quality lenses…  but you go on believing that your little iPhone takes better pictures.  Heck, I believe you too.. considering I see professional photographers on the sidelines of sporting events using iPhones to take pictures..    Oooh.. way to call me a**hole.. internet bad ass TRAILERPARKFAIL in the house..

      • RIMFAIL

        Ohhh big man with a big camera, and yes even big words.

        I suppose you didn’t read about the 4S compared to a high end camera did you tough guy?

        Go back to playing your free copy of beJeweled.

      • Applesucksfatties

        @fef3651a686e4861e21b8b58e9124256:disqus – it may compare to high end camera for the usual 3-10 foot focal range.. and the subject is standing still..  try using it to shoot macro photography… or long range shots.    Maybe an overhead view of that lard ass wife of yours..  iToy camera just wont cut it.   Gonna put some polarizing filters on your iPhone camera.. or put a larger flash on it?  Not likely.   And if your iPhone camera was so great.. .why don’t I see ANY photographers using them to take pictures?     BBBBBut it is so great….. for dullards and Apple fagboys..

      • RIMFAIL

        Back to the trailer park. Must be where you met your wife. Trailer 17, good for you.

        Goes BeJeweled doing anyways??

      • Applesucksfatties

        @fef3651a686e4861e21b8b58e9124256:disqus I don’t know why I waste my time responding to your childish comments.  I feel like I’m having a conversation with a teenager…  Yeah you are right… I met my wife in the trailer park, Bejewled is awesome and RIM is fuc*ed….now will you shut the f*ck up?  Man, you are one obnoxious mother f*cker…

  • RIMFAIL

    I think I’ll start a business so I can get a free month of BES tech support. Yeah that’s worth buying a POS BlackBrick!

    • Applesucksfatties

      I thought you already did have a business selling your new fragrance….Obsession for RIM.  Seriously douchefail…why are you so f*cking annoying?  I could possibly understand your comments if you owned a BlackBerry…but you don’t ….so basically you are just trying to be an annoying asshole troll.  

      • RIMFAIL

        It will even be better when I can sit around and play NOVA all day long on my BlackBrick or PlayBrick!

        Yes! Time to switch to BB!!

    • RIMFAIL

      Too bad homo. If you don’t like what I have to say. I don’t care.

      You seem to like the abuse, maybe too much intimate time with Lazaridis has you brainwashed?

      • Applesucksfatties

        Oooh.. homo..  You seem like a really classy guy using the words “c*nt” and “homo”.   Proves my theory that you more than likely an unemployed high school dropout that lives in a trailer park somewhere…   

        You spend so much time talking sh*t about RIM out here.. I’d like you to fill me in on why?  I don’t much care for Android phones.. but you don’t see me out on Android blogs being an obsessed DOUCHEFAIL like you.

      • RIMFAIL

        Do you honestly thing giving away Bubble Bash 2 is going to save RIM?

        How funny is it that RIM allows iSpeech on their APP WORLD. Let me guess iSpeech going to bail them out?

      • Applesucksfatties

         @fef3651a686e4861e21b8b58e9124256:disqus 
        – what does giving an app away have anything to do with saving RIM? 
        RIM can save itself by getting devices quicker to market and getting
        more high quality apps in its App world.  The free apps were just a
        goodwill gesture to those impacted by the outage.   Most people could
        give a shit less that they couldn’t get an email on their phone for 8-10
        hours and like the fact that they get free high dollar apps.  

      • RIMFAIL

        Yeah giving away BeJeweled and SIMS 3 saved the day for RIM.

        Oh wait, OS7 is going to save them right? Maybe they’ll build a bridge to my Scion next?

      • Applesucksfatties

        @fef3651a686e4861e21b8b58e9124256:disqus no shock here that you drive a Scion…

        Your a pile of crap. Enough said!

        @fef3651a686e4861e21b8b58e9124256:disqus ooh snap.  The high school special ed drop out got me.  Way to post on a week old article…what next?  you gonna go back to a RIM article from 2 years ago and talk shit about me?  Get a life looooooooser.
