Next week Poynt will enable a new auto-update feature, but for now they made an announcement that Poynt version 1.0.1.59 is available for all 8000 series devices, as well as the BlackBerry Bold and BlackBerry Storm.

Changes and improvements:

STORM:

  • Fixed no results found errors popping up when a cell-site location was found.
  • Improved touch list performance.
  • Search speed and data improvements.
  • Improved saved locations mechanism
  • Allowed search radius as small as 5 km

BOLD/JAVELIN/CURVE/PEARL/FLIP:

  • Improved UI, re-written from the ground up to increase performance.
  • Inertial scrolling on result lists to enhance visual feedback.
  • Fixed BB Maps crashing issues.
  • Cell-Site GPS – Fast and reasonably accurate initial locates while your GPS chipset is warming up and scanning the sky for true satellite GPS locks.
  • Improved GPS speeds. Note to Verizon Customers: Full GPS is still unavailable for these devices, but the new Cell-Site GPS feature is available. It is automatic, so no additional configuration is required.

attblackberrys flipcurve BlackBerry Curve 8900 coming to AT&T sometime in February, Pearl Flip 8210 in March?

So it looks like AT&T might be getting both the BlackBerry Curve 8900 and the Pearl Flip 8210 in February and March respectively.

BG is usually on point with his tips and rumors, so cross your fingers AT&T users!

Rumored pricing:

  • Curve 8900 – $199 or lower
  • Pearl Flip 8210 – $99 or lower

Nice! BG also had this to share:

P.S. The date also seems right because it does lineup with AT&T phasing out those EDGE devices. These could very well be the last of the Mohicans. Yeah, we totally said that.
