This offer will last until the end of 2011. RIM is also offering 1 month of free technical support for enterprise users. Co-CEO Mike Lazaridis stated: "We are grateful to our loyal BlackBerry customers for their patience," added Lazaridis. "We have apologized to our customers and we will work tirelessly to restore their confidence.� We are taking immediate and aggressive steps to help prevent something like this from happening again."
