LinkedIn for BlackBerry, a poster child, for my BlackBerry applications I’m tired of waiting on post, is now available for the BlackBerry Tour, Curve, and Bold. I can’t believe there is no LinkedIn support for the BlackBerry Storm, but, then again, yes I can.
LinkedIn for BlackBerry is a continuation of our efforts to help you leverage the power of your professional network anywhere, anytime. Now, you can walk into any interview, any customer engagement or client meeting with the ability to look up the details on over 60 million professionals worldwide, in real-time.
LinkedIn for BlackBerry includes a full, rich feature set designed to bring the most useful features of LinkedIn to your business smartphone. The application features six modules, each with a user experience designed from the ground up for BlackBerry devices:
- Network Updates. View and share crucial business intelligence and updates with your network. Perfect for those spare moments between meetings.
- Search. Search across over 60 million global professionals, and get the answer back in seconds. We’ve implemented a unified search across both your direct connections and the entire LinkedIn network.
- Connections. LinkedIn is your address book in the cloud. Get quick access to any of your connections to get their up-to-date profile information, and the ability to send them a message immediately.
- Invitations. Why wait to get back to your desk? Accept outstanding invitations immediately.
- Messages. Messaging is one of the reasons that BlackBerry owners love their devices, and we’ve worked hard to integrate your LinkedIn Inbox.
- Reconnect. You can’t leverage your network if you don’t build it. This module brings suggestions for new connections to you anytime. Now you can build your network from anywhere, in seconds.

Very poor considering this is meant to be a RIM ‘Superapp’. I have been waiting for it to come out ,and it just looks rushed. How can they make an app the looks and feels worse than the facebook app! At least facebook closes and does not drain the battery. The Twitter for Blackberry app is much better having played with the leaked version.
very poor….
