Grindr is the hottest all-male hookup app and social network and they’ve recently announced that going forward, they will only be supporting Grindr Xtra, the premium service. Apparently there is “simply not enough ad inventory to have an ad-supported version of Grindr for BlackBerry.” The latest build of Grindr for BlackBerry contains a trial of Grindr Xtra and the Grindr Xtra Store.
To install, follow these steps:
1. You MUST delete all previous of Grindr from your device. (From your BlackBerry’s home screen head to Options>Advanced Options>Applications and delete Grindr)
2. Once Grindr is deleted you must reboot! (if you are not prompted to reboot press alt+right shift+delete)
3. Once your BlackBerry has rebooted open this URL in your BlackBerry browser:
http://grindr.com/beta/grindrbetaxtra
4. When the pop-up appears to install Grindr check the box to edit permissions before installing.
5. Set ALL permissions to allow and then install Grindr

UPDATE: Grindr is Going Grindr Xtra only.
Grindr has been around on the iPhone for some time now and they’ve opened up the BlackBerry app for 5,000 beta testers. The app is really cool in that it uses GPS to find others in the community and lets you connect with them like any good IM client. You can view profile information and choose to meet the person, or pass and move on to the next person. The UI for this app is interesting as it’s a screen filled with profile pics with a unique notification system letting you know the current status of each member. Overall, the app is just like Loopt Mix, but for the gay, bi and curious male community.
