After a BlackBerry service outage that lasted more than three days, RIM is trying to make amends with users by offering them a selection of premium apps for free, as well as one month of free technical support.

There are currently 12 apps on offer, including SIMS 3, Bejeweled, Texas Hold'em Poker 2, Bubble Bash and Shazam Encore, and RIM claims more will be added at a later date. The value of all the 12 apps put together is approximately $100.

Enterprise customers will be offered one month of free technical support; current customers will get a one month extension on their existing contract, while customers who currently don't have a technical support contract will get a one month trial of the service.

The BlackBerry service outage, which lasted for the better part of last week, was one of the worst such outages in the history of the company, leaving millions of customers worldwide without access to various apps and services such as email.

RIM CEO Mike Lazaridis publicly apologized after the outage, and now RIM is trying to make the entire experience less painful with some apps and free support. It's a nice gesture, but we're not entirely sure that users who were unable to access their email for several days will be satisfied with a bunch of free apps, half of which are games.

What do you think? Has RIM done enough to make amends with its users? Please, share your opinions in the comments.
