About three weeks ago I wrote a post about 5 must have free BlackBerry downloads and, as the first commenter pointed out, I left off the list arguably the best free BlackBerry download ever, Berry411. How I left Berry411 off the list I will never know, however, it absolutely deserves to be on any list of free BlackBerry downloads. In fact, it deserves it’s own post, thus, you are reading what you are reading.
Berry411’s author, Phil Bogle, has a description of Berry411 on his site:
Berry 411 provides free and convenient mobile search on your Blackberry. Its cheaper and more effective than calling 411 and lets your search for to a broader range of information.
This modest description doesn’t do the application justice. Berry411 is everything, less the satellite photos, that Google Maps for BlackBerry should be.
If you have a BlackBerry you may as well just download Berry411. It won’t cost you anything and in my opinion, Berry411 is the best free BlackBerry download out there.
This is Phil Bogle, author of Berry411. Thank you for the favorable review. I should mention that a new version of Berry411 (v3.1) has just been released that your readers might find useful. It features an autocompletion dictionary based on the 1000 most common queries, which greatly reduces the amount of typing required in most cases.
how do i download this app into my new bb 9930 bold,,its not in the app list
I am getting a blackberry 8703e. will Berry411 work with the gps on it. I am looking to use the gps navigation on this unit without having to pay $10 a month for telenav. Doe anyone have any sugestions?
This application is extremely frustrating. It can never find anything near my location. Perhaps it does not work well in Canada? It does not provide move times etc as advertised and bringing up a map for a location is not possible. Also after it finds 0 applicable locations search google is an option which finds items applicable to the wrong to the wrong location

Will Beyond 411 work with the new Verizon Black Berry 9530 Storm? I currently use 411 with my BB8830 and never wish to be without 411.
Thank you,
Michael
Hi im from Panama, Central America, Does it works down here?
I am with Verizon Wireless for my cellular phone services. I enjoy using my BlackBerry9630 Tour. I am writing to request that Beyond 411 be updated, so GPS works and that this valuable application work with the Tour. In the past I have used Beyond 411 on my BlackBerry Curve with Verizon. 411 has always been one of my most valued applications on my Berry. I look forward to 411 being updated, so I can OTA load and install 411 on my verizon Tour.
Thank you for your consideration in this matter,
Michael Arroyo
