I thoroughly enjoyed using BBM Music on the Bold 9930 and even though I no longer have my Bold I know there are many readers who are interested in trying out this unique music service. Good news comes from RIM today as they are offering BBM Music for free for four months and if you already have the service you get a free extension of four months.
You need to download and install the BBM Music app on your compatible BlackBerry device between 16 December (today) and 4 January to take advantage of this free offer. BBM Music is a fun way to discover music through your friend’s recommendations and I have to admit I do miss interacting with my BBM friends on the service. I am sure there is a lot of Christmas music being played on BBM Music at the moment and if you have a compatible smartphone there is no reason to at least not give it a try for four months for FREE.
