31 Days of BlackBerry App Love - DAY 10

Posted by Naomi "DigitalFanGirl" On January - 10 - 2009

Day 10: Beyond411 {formerly Berry411} - $FREE

Beyond411 is a classic BlackBerry app that I discovered a few years ago when I had my BlackBerry 8700. It is a great app to have on your BlackBerry and although it’s a classic; it’s still a must-have app.

Key Features:

    Beyond411 provides instant access to Yahoo yellow pages, maps, and driving directions. Some of its unique features are:

    • Speed: Beyond411 launches and searches faster than other search tools, and reduces the number of keystrokes and clicks required to get things done.
    • GPS support: Beyond411 can do searches and give driving directions based on your current location on compatible phones and carriers. (Please note that GPS in Beyond411 only works in the US and is not available on Verizon– Verizon has disabled GPS access for their users.)
    • Blackberry address book integration: Add results directly to your address book, email search results as a vcard.
    • Interactive search suggestions save typing and include links to relevant yellow page searches, 1-800 numbers, mobile optimized web pages, podcasts, and reviews.
    • Local prices search using Yokel shopping search.
    • Web search using Yahoo.
    • Local sports, weather, and news.
    • Search Plugins allow you to add and share new kinds of searches.

      To install Beyond411 over the air, visit thebogles.com/b411.jad. from your BlackBerry browser.
