Berry 411 - Mobile Search For BlackBerry - tips,tricks,hacks

Berry 411 is perhaps the best piece of free software available for the BlackBerry, and for good reason. It boasts phone book lookups, sports scores, movie times, and more. Phil Bogle, the author of Berry 411, keeps piling on the features all the time.

The most recent version (3.30) adds phone numbers that you've input to your address book from within the program to the Berry 411 history for easy retrieval the next time you need to use it. Previous versions added autocomplete for searches, more plugins, and integration with the BlackBerry Address Book.

You launch the app from a purple "411" icon after installation, upon which you setup your home, work, and “other” addresses to customize your search results.

With Berry 411, you can perform Yellow Page, White Page, Google, Movie, Weather and Shopping (Froogle) searches. The plugins add a great deal more to the application’s search capabilities, including reverse phone lookup, driving directions, sports, stocks, flight tracking, and the Internet Movie Database. And that's only the tip of the iceberg.

The latest version of Berry 411 can be downloaded over the air (OTA) here or to the desktop here from SmartPhoneToday's Free Download's section.
