Foursquare have just officially released version 1.8.2 of their BlackBerry app. The app is an incredible piece of BlackBerry developer craftsmanship that other companies should look towards for inspiration on their own applications. One of the most impressive things about the Foursquare app is that it barely, if at all, uses the BlackBerry menu, and instead has its own menu structure. The app therefore has a much more rich navigating experience, and this goes a long way to making a better user experience.
