When MySpace for BlackBerry was launched last week, we said that World of WarCraft wasn’t the only thing being released that night. We had no idea, however, number of downloads of MySace for BlackBerry would be analogous to the number of people buying WoW.
Since the application’s launch on November 13, 2008 there have been more than 400,000 downloads which represents an all-time high for both MySpace and RIM in terms of first week application downloads. Through the MySpace for BlackBerry® smartphones application, users collectively sent and received more than 15 million messages and updated their mood and status over two million times in the first week.

World or WarCraft wasn’t the only thing released at midnight this morning. Research in Motion, at 12:01 a.m., released MySpace for BlackBerry Smartphones.
We’ve been waiting for the MySpace BlackBerry application since mid-September and it has finally made it’s debut. You can download it by over-the-air directly to your BlackBerry by first visiting www.myspace.com/blackberry.
Back in September we heard that RIM was working on a MySpace BlackBerry Application but they’ve been silent about it ever since.
In case you’ve been wondering about it, we still don’t have any release information, however, BGR was able to get quite a few screen shots of what the MySpace BlackBerry App will look like whenever it does come out.
You can check them out here.
