We're all waiting patiently for our Christmas presents and RIM has eased the wait for its smartphone owners by announcing an early Xmas gift. RIM have made 4 months free Blackberry BBM Music available to all Blackberry smartphone owners.

All you need to do take advantage of the freebie is download the BBM Music application between December 16th and January 4th to get 120 days free access. Those who've already installed the application can get 4 months added to their current subscription.

BBM Music is a unique social-networking take on music streaming. When using the service you get to choose 50 tracks which are available to you online and offline. You can replace 25 of these tracks each month!

However, the real value of Blackberry music is that if you add a friend on BBM Music you also get access to their music and vice-versa. In essence that means you have an unlimited library of music.

3G have always been fans of the service, which normally costs £4.99 a month, because its a nice way to find new music that you may never have come across otherwise.

Those who take advantage of the trial need to stay alert because at the end of the 120 days RIM will automatically begin charging you , unless you cancel the subscription.
