Poynt For BlackBerry: Free All-In-One Local Search

June 16, 2008 by Robb Dunewood 15 Comments

RIMarkable reader Curtis just sent us an email this morning telling us about a free BlackBerry application that gives you pretty good local search capabilities that rival Beyond 411, one of my top free BlackBerry downloads of all time.

He said, “There is a application that you might want to mention to your readers that I just picked up on. It is called Poynt for BlackBerry and is a free local search utility that rivals Beyond 411. Poynt pretty much gives you the same information but is a lot prettier.”

One thing that I know RIMarkable readers like are free BlackBerry applications so I figure that I would spread the word. I’ve only been playing with Poynt for about 45 seconds so I can’t give it a full review just yet. I can confirm, however, it is nice looking.

You can check it out by downloading it OTA directly to your BlackBerry. Just visit m.mypoynt.com via your devices BlackBerry browser. Let us know what you think in the comments.

    Anthony, maybe because developers are here developing for here and not familiar with how or why to develop for the UK,,,,”Same as France”? not sure what that means.Some hide behind email accounts and firewalls and say stupid things. We’re not all knucklheads here stateside.

    Just downloaded this software to my blackberry. I can not seem to use the gps option because my phone keeps saying GPS searching and nothing happens. Can anyone give any advice on how to fix this?

    If you are in a building the GPS option will not work. However you can either use the phone network to pinpoint your location or type your location directly into poynt. Additionally Poynt work in the U.K. now!
