T-Mobile is trying to make amends with BlackBerry. The carrier is offering a $200 credit to customers who trade in their current BlackBerry devices for new smartphones, and if the customer is trading in for a new BlackBerry, the credit goes up to $250. BlackBerry says the passion it has seen from BlackBerry users has been mind-blowing. The carrier got lots of feedback from BlackBerry users after it made them a no-money down offer on the iPhone 5s. Now it looks like T-Mobile will have to pay BlackBerry users to upgrade.
