more than half these app were free anyhow so i don’t see the point of arguing for LIME or DIGI. either way we’re still getting ripped off.
Friends, read through the details. Is it incorrect to state that LIME customers will benefit from RIM’s offer? It is reasonable to assume that Digi has similar option to share details with respect to its customers.
Uhm DNO this doesn’t only apply to lime, digicel users are part of the bb world too
seriously do you guys take any time to read? It’s a PRESS RELEASE from LIME. Pay Attention!
What DNO care about who is a LIME or DIGICEL user?
can you read it says ” Lime blackberry customers” it implies that they will be the only one to get the deal, but they will not be, bcause dear RIM is international. You read and decipher.
Com on man. This reminds me of the days when Marpin Tv was frighting to set us free from Cable & Wireless, today it’s (LIME),they kept the internet away from us and said we’re not ready, and those of us who had access, they charge us by the minute for its usage. Today every apps comes with a features such as; top, free, new. The user choose whether they want the features for a price, however, most apps are free. What’s this crap about free downloads? Blackberry is dead stop monopolizing the poor people of Dominica.
am very sure this was only sent out by lime as they got it and as DNO see it come from dem dey say Lime Utter Disrespect Dno they were Just Being courteous
I don’t care what they are offering>>>>
Blackberry is signing agreements with certain governments to make RIM communications data available for scrutiny, I am so disgusted by this move by RIM, I paid almost $1000 for a phone just to have the government invade my privacy……BLACKBERRY FOR SALE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
there’s nothing I despise more than a traitor
“We will ask it to open access to people, who are allegedly involved in crimes. If RIM agrees, we will sign an agreement,” Information and Communications Minister Tifatul Sembiring said, as quoted by Antara news agency on Thursday.
He added that the company had already fulfilled five out of six demands by the Indonesian government. “It has opened branches in Indonesia; offers after servicing; blocks negative content; recruits Indonesian workers; and cooperates with local content developers so as to use local software and components,” said Tifatul.
The only demand that has not yet been fulfilled is for the company to open a data center in Indonesia. According to Tifatul, the company has yet to give an explanation regarding its delay, adding that RIM could be punished if it refused to open the center.
To date, there has been no legal basis for wiretapping Blackberry users, unlike other operators.
Dnt apply to me………gove me a 2 months ee bb service instead.
seriously DNO ? what about digicel customers ? were part of the bb world too
This is really misleading of LIME!!!! Its not only LIMe customers that are getting the free apps. Stop lying to people!!!!! OMG>>
