MySpace Blackberry App Sees 400,000 Downloads in First Week

In a relatively surprising turn of events, MySpace experienced over 400,000 downloads of their application among Blackberry’s in the first week. According to MySpae this is the most downloads in the first week for both RIM and MySpace. Over 15 million messages were sent and received and over 2 million statuses and moods were updated.

Honestly, I’m extremely surprised to see such a large demand for the application by Blackberry users. Blackberry users are traditionally though of as professionals who would theoretically not be an active MySpace user base.
