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.

I am getting a bit sick of BB developers who think the world consists of USA and Canada only. What about us UK users ????
Well they forget about you because we forget about you. You guys are like france but more of a kiss ass really. Pretty insignificant really. So anyway quit your blubbering. Don’t forget to brush your teeth limey, and god save the queen!!
HA HA TO UK SUCKS

and sits at home alone every night wanking to shemale porn cause your secretly gay

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!
im geting a blackberry and im proud of it
i loves BB poynt cause its very fun ot keeps you working alot who else loves bb poynt?
Every time I say search a place or put a zip code in it says gps not working please help
