Poynt is a great app that you can use daily. When we took a look at the app at WES 2009, we saw a ton of cool features, many of which have not yet launched but should be unofficially coming this summer (just a guess). Currently, you can search local businesses, people and movie theaters. Soon, you’ll have access to a complete restaurant search and booking service powered by Open Table.
Other features include:
GPS functionality has been optimized to provide faster accurate locates.
Cell-site locates allow Poynt to quickly access a user’s general location while awaiting a GPS lock.
Poynt is fully integrated with both BlackBerry Maps and Google Maps.
Poynt integrates with Gokivo Navigator to provide turn-by-turn voice navigation.
Users can add frequently accessed listings to their BlackBerry Contact List, providing convenience for future lookups.
Poynt is a free app and it’s available by hitting m.mypoynt.com from your BlackBerry browser.

It’s not just developers who can earn cash from mobile apps, the pleebs can too! O2 in the UK has unveiled an app store that lets mobile phone users earn money by testing apps for their handsets and providing feedback to the developers. So all that time you spend in the blogosphere, testing Betas and giving back to the community can finally pay off. The site is live for customers and O2 has been asking for developers to contribute since back in December. Check out Mob4Hire for an idea of how the payment system will work.

Even though Orange is thinking about pulling the BlackBerry Bold from its device lineup, the carrier is still fully committed to BlackBerry, though at a decidedly more low cost scale. Our pal Ronen from BerryReview has noticed that Orange UK has posted the BlackBerry Pearl 8120 in Titanium and Indigo as ‘coming soon’ with a pay-as-you-go option. As you probably remember, RIM ceo-Jim Balsillie indicated during the fiscal Q3 2009 conference call that pre-paid BlackBerry options would be a growing trend worldwide.
Pricing information is unavailable at this time, but you can hit the link below to sign up for email notifications from Orange.
