This one is curious to say the least. Just yesterday, Foursquare updated their BlackBerry app to version 1.5. The update brought the ability to add tips to locations you check in at, AND the ability to add friends via mobile. I’m sure the update was well accepted, but there was definitely some grumbling that Storm support was not released.

Well, wait a day and things change.

Not even 24 hours later, Foursquare released version 1.5.5 for BlackBerry, with Storm support! Key feature updates include:

  • touchscreen support for the Storm series
  • faster and more accurate location lookups
  • improved performance
  • new user sign up via mobile
  • ability to see nearby tips and tip details
  • ability to add and find friends

Storm users (and indeed all BlackBerry users) can grab Foursquare version 1.5.5 via foursquare.com/blackberry. Check in, earn badges, collect points, do whatever it is you do on Foursquare. Enjoy.
