An awesome sale is headed to T-Mobile!  TmoNews grabbed a screenshot showing that T-Mobile has a special offer coming on February 11th where new and current customers can get some popular smartphones free.  While browsing through the devices pictured, I noticed the BlackBerry Bold 9900 and BlackBerry Curve 9360 are both listed.  So if you were looking for that upgrade soon, it might be worth waiting until February 11th, the Bold 9900 obviously being the better choice.

Here’s a quickie for those shopping for some games to play on their BlackBerry smartphones.  Hasbro has a few of their famous titles on sale for 99 cents in BlackBerry App World.  The on sale games include three variations on Monopoly, Scrabble, Yahtzee, Risk, Connect 4 Battleship and more!

The Jared Company let us know they put out their popular application called Message Prevue on sale for only 99 cents.  Message Prevue provides a way to view incoming messages without exiting the screen you are already on.  We can look at this like notifications on the iPhone where a pop up comes up rather than having to exit out completely and open up messages.  Features of Message Prevue include:

• When you receive an BBM, email or SMS, a small pop-up appears on your screen showing name of sender and subject line. Nothing to open, nothing to boot, nothing to lose. You remain connected.
• The information won’t clutter your screen because the pop up slowly fades after you’ve seen who’s reaching out. Read and *poof*. Gone.
• You never have to access your email folder to see who’s contacted you. Senders and subjects of incoming texts are right in front of you. Sweet.

The price doesn’t sound so worthy at $4.99 but when the app is marked originally for $9.99, it’s good savings.  Monopoly updated the other day to version 1.0.63 and along with that came a sale on the game which strangely appeared in App World from the BlackBerry PlayBook and not on the web store.  Not sure how long the sale is going on for, so grab a copy while supplies last!

We’ve seen great hockey applications for BlackBerry devices already.  RIM has a new campaign going off for the NHL which includes a promotion for five select players.

These select five players will be showing a “behind the scenes” of their lives (not on the ice).  You can check out the full video promo here.  Read more on the NHLPA Players’ PlayBook here.

Modern Combat 2 Black Pegasus HD for BlackBerry PlayBook had not gone on sale since launch, and some of you were probably waiting for the price to drop a bit before grabbing a copy.  It looks like the game is only sale now (for a limited time we assume) for only 99 cents.  Yes, that’s 6 bucks off.  Gameloft often does sales on their games, but again we never saw it on Modern Combat 2 before.  Click the link below to check out screenshots of the game or to purchase a copy while supplies last.

Originally the sales were supposed to go on through February 4th, for those who recall.  This sale comes directly from RIM in the Shop BlackBerry Store where all three BlackBerry PlayBook models are $299 across the board.  The sale is now ending January 28, a few days earlier than expected for unknown reasons.  Any way, if you were planning on waiting until the end to pick one up, you should know the new date for the last day.

Something I’ve been needing for the BlackBerry PlayBook was a solid remote desktop application which was smooth in operating and didn’t lag so much like most applications do.  I found Splashtop Remote Desktop HD for the BlackBerry PlayBook which provided just that.  Setup for it was a breeze and functionality was great.  Also, it’s compatible with both PC and Mac so it’s good for everyone (just about).  Splashtop Remote Desktop HD is also on sale for a limited time for only $4.99 as the regular price will be $19.99 once the promotion is over.  Click the link below for more information or to grab a copy.

We got the word from the developers that they will be putting out the newly released ProInsights for BlackBerry PlayBook 50% this weekend only, by request of many users interested in the application.  The original price is $9.99, which yes is a bit much to dish out for an application.  As a result by demand, you can grab a copy this weekend only for $4.99.

For those who missed out post yesterday, ProSights is an application for the BlackBerry PlayBook which brings your LinkedIn account to a whole new level with an awesome user interface.  It makes navigating and browsing LinkedIn fun and easier.
