Foursquare Updated to Version 1.7 for BlackBerry

To no doubt coincide with SXSW (which officially kicks off tomorrow), Foursquare has gone ahead and updated their BlackBerry app to version 1.7. Let the battle between Gowalla and Foursquare continue on the SXSW show floor. Of course, no details or changelog have been made available for this update as of yet, but from what I can tell it looks like simple ‘window dressing’ so far. UI tweaks and updates, nothing too major.

An important note about this update however for Storm users… 1.7 does not appear to be compatible with the Storm yet (API issues abound). So, if you’re all eager to download and install, you’d best be waiting a little bit until we hear of support for your device.

If you’re locked, loaded and ready to install, simply point your Berry’s browser to http://foursquare.com/blackberry/beta for installation OTA.

    Hi James, I’m foursquare’s bb developer. Thanks for the aswesome post.

    Regarding the Storm issue, that has since been resolved. I would recommend re-downloading from foursquare.com/blackberry/beta.
