Free BlackBerry Storm App of the Day Poynt - Gets 2 The Point

By Contributor Wireless and Mobile News on February 15, 2009 9:15 AM

The Poynt local search application is now available for the BlackBerry Storm smartphone . The app can be easily accessed from the BlackBerry Storm smartphone's touchscreen, to help find places and also get information about them. It's a handy app for finding movies along with information about those movies. And, they will have restaurant information in the future.

We named it our "Free BlackBerry Storm App of the Day" because it puts maps, listings and information together on the BlackBerry Storm screen without a lot of fuss.

Poynt for the BlackBerry, won the Personal Productivity and Lifestyle category as well as one of three Best of Show Grand Prizes in the BlackBerry Partners Fund, last year.

Poynt has business listings and movie information integrated with the GPS. You can see results listed by distance from your location. The app gives you the ability to add to the address book or calendar, call directly, and browse websites with the click of a button as well as get directions from anywhere, to anywhere in North America.

Once you enter search terms, then you can find businesses and movies near your location. You can get phone and address information as well as more features such as movie reviews and trailers, and purchasing movie tickets.

Poynt for the BlackBerry Storm smartphone includes these features:

Cellsite locates - Cellsite locates allow Poynt to quickly access a user's general location while awaiting a GPS lock.
GPS - the GPS functionality has been optimized to provide faster accurate locates. Poynt for the BlackBerry Storm smartphone also provides GPS access to users on the Verizon network.
Enhanced User Interface - Poynt's UI was developed specifically for the BlackBerry Storm to provide users with a true touch-screen experience.
Mapping Integration - Poynt is fully integrated with both BlackBerry Maps and Google Maps, with turn-by-turn directions provided through Google Maps.
Address Book Integration - Users can add frequently accessed listings to their BlackBerry Address Book, providing convenience for future lookups.
Share Search Results - Integration with BlackBerry Email allows users to easily share listings with friends and colleagues.
Movie Module - Users can plan their night at the movies by seeing what is playing near them, watching trailers, viewing showtimes, reading reviews, cast and synopsis, and purchasing tickets.
