The free WHERE application has been launched for the BlackBerry Tour 9630!

WHERE on the BlackBerry Tour functions very similarly to our versions for the BlackBerry Storm & BlackBerry Bold. WHERE on the Tour features an at-a-glance homescreen layout, for easy access to your favorite local information. WHERE comes pre-packed with some of our most popular GPS based widgets including, News, Weather, Gas Station Locator, Yelp & Eventful, plus many more. WHERE’s newest social networking venue, the WHERE Wall is also available on the BlackBerry Tour.

I just want to point out that WHERE’s Gas Prices has helped me find cheap gas on more than one occasion. This and the other features are very useful.

WHERE has been updated to v1.3.0.1 for the BlackBerry Curve 8900, Bold and Storm!
