Gwabbit To Release Free Version Via BlackBerry App World

Gwabbit is a handy application for those who get a lot of emails and do not want to constantly be adding new contacts to their BlackBerry manually. Gwabbit takes care of that for you by adding your contacts information right to your address book automatically if you do so wish for it to. Some users however, may have been put off by the pricing of the application which is set at $9.99/year.

In response to that on December 8th, Gwabbit will release a free version only available via BlackBerry App World. The free version to be released also has a new feature built into it, we'll leave it up to you guys to decide if you like it or not though. When adding a contact, your device will email the person letting them know they were added to your address book using Gwabbit. Useful? Bothersome? Worth the savings of $9.99? Let us know in the comments folks.

I like the concept of adding contacts automatically, but not the idea of sending emails back to everyone saying that they have been added.

yeh, lame way of advertising. Why not charge $5 one time, i dont get the yearly cost thing, its not going to a server or anything that I can tell.

Dont want emails going to the contacts- no thanks will just copy and paste manually.

it's free, it works well and i'm sure the email thing is an option. If not then don't use the app. Can't wait!

Gwabbit needs to look at re-staffing thier pricing and marketing departments.

this feature is a complete NO GO to me, even for a free app
fortunately there are other ways to add contacts (I use Grab in LinkedIn Outlook toolbar)

I have several email accounts on my BB as long as I can choose which to include this feature I would love to give it a shot!

what better way to confuse and annoy your clients than by having your phone automatically send them spam?

That's too bad, I understand they need it to make sense for them financially as a company but it would make more sense to just give a massive discount. I would never allow a program like that to auto-email my business contacts! On the flipside $9.99 seems exorbitantly expensive for what I would consider a very valuable yet small feature.
