Blackberry have been busy in the last couple of months getting BBM Music ready for launch in the UK. That even led to them changing their music provider, but now its finally available on our shores.

It gets even better because Blackberry have announced that Blackberry owners can get a 6 month free trial of the new music service. All you have to do to take advantage of the free trial is download BBM this month , install it and register an account.

BBM Music is a unique take on music streaming because it has social networking at its very core. Each user on the service can select 50 tracks which are added to their library, which may seem underwhelming, but whenever they add a friend they get access to all of their music as well !

Not only is it a brilliant way to achieve unlimited music, but its also a fantastic way to find new music and to share your tastes with your friends. 3G is a huge fan of the idea and thinks if anymore than 50 songs were supported the application might lose its beauty. You can change the music in your own library each month, but only 10 at a time.

Blackberry have also released a new version of BBM Music , which includes the capability to add friends from Facebook and Twitter, As well as easily being able to post what you are listening to onto your social networking profile. Blackberry also added "Gift Requests" to the new version of BBM which enable you to request a friend to buy you a subscription.

BBM Music normally costs £4.99 a month but you can take advantage of the free trial by clicking here.
