Free Poynt App For BlackBerry Updated To Version 1.8.1 With BBM Integration & BlackBerry 7 Support

By Mauricio

The ever popular and extremely useful Poynt application for BlackBerry smartphones was recently updated to version 1.8.1. According to the changelog this update allows users to share search results in BlackBerry Messenger (BBM6) and supports the new BlackBerry 7 OS. Features of the app include:

• Find phone numbers, browse websites and map directions with one click
• Reverse look-up missed calls from the BlackBerry® Call log
• Plan a night out without exiting the application – find restaurants, read reviews and make dinner reservations (US/CA/UK only) then watch trailers, view showtimes and buy movie tickets (US/CA only) for a theatre near you or find a local event by venue, performer or nearby
• BlackBerry® Messages notification of movie ticket receipts (US/CA only)
• Add listings to your BlackBerry® Address Book, add movies, restaurants and events to your BlackBerry® Calendar, share listings with friends via email on your BlackBerry®
• Integrated weather display changes based on the conditions around you, click to view 5-day forecast
• Complete a search, then map a route using BlackBerry® Maps
• Poynt is free and available in Canada, the United States, Germany, the United Kingdom, France, Italy, Spain and is now available in Australia

Poynt is an app that every BlackBerry users should have not just because it’s free but because of everything it offers. I always use the example “it helps me find pizza in an unfamiliar area” but it can do a lot more than that. For more info and to get the app go to poynt.com or check it out in App World here.
