The ‘Thank You Gift’ category in BlackBerry App World is no more- unless you’re in Singapore.  If you have a BlackBerry Curve 9380 and Torch 9860 in Singapore, then you’re eligible for some free applications.  Not exactly sure why these two devices are the only ones getting the free applications.  Is there an issue with the firmware or devices that we are unaware of?  Either way, here’s a list of those free apps you can grab for a limited time in the region:

• Fruits and Ninja
• InstaPhoto
• MP3 Ringtone Creator
• Screen Muncher
• Toss It!

Up until December 31st, all BlackBerry customers were able to download free applications in BlackBerry App World which RIM promoted for free as a thank you gift for staying a customer.  This resulted after a major BIS outage which received negative publicity and even ended with RIM’s co-CEO apologizing on camera.  In time of course, services were restored and we were all able to BBM and email just fine.

The free applications under the “Thank You Gift” category from RIM is about to come to an end.  Over the last few months since DevCon 2011, we’ve been seeing applications appear on there for us to download.  All the apps are available until the end of this month for free download where January 1st they will all be premium again.  Click the link below to get rerouted to the “Thank You Gift” category and start downloading away.

The free outage applications continue.  Keep in mind all applications are free until the end of this month.  Over the weekend we see N.O.V.A. and Texas Hold’en Poker 2 free in the “Thank You Gift” category of BlackBerry App World. Now for the downside, both games are not compatible with OS 7.  A bummer for some, but many will still get to enjoy it on their OS 6 or older devices.  Click the links below to download or search for them in BlackBerry App World.

Last week SimCity and The Sims 3 for BlackBerry were RIM’s latest “Thank You Gift” applications, meaning they’re available to download free until the end of December.  Personally I couldn’t get the games downloaded on my Bold 9900 at all, we received a few comments and emails from users who had the same issue as well (all of which were using OS 7 devices).  Even when searching within BlackBerry App World, they wouldn’t show up at all.  When clicking a direct link for the game download it would show that the device is not supported.  I checked back in the “Thank You Gift” category of BlackBerry App World only to find that both games are now available there with no issues downloading.  So head over to App World and grab yours or click the links below to get there directly.
