    well I have been using google mobile for all of my searches and now there is a really cool feature where you can use your voice to do searches! how hot is that and i havent found any other new things about it yet accept it is supposed to search by location as well! the layout is prettier than the old and the icon has more of a button look! if you have been using it all this time then i guess you only have to do what i did and that was just go to use it and it asked if i wanted to update it or not and i chose yes! it was that easy for me and i would think that it would be that easy for you too! had to reboot after installation but it was worth turning off my theme for a minute! i am going to bed now but wanted you all to know about it if you used it often! i was also on my wifi so it didnt take long!

    I like googles new icons for blackberry but they still have not updated the gmail icon. It is still the small grainy icon from the big update a while back! Oh well

    not really a new feature, it's been like that for almost a month.

    real slick program though, even though it's twice as big as the older app... voice commands are nice.

    Last night I downloaded and installed this application and tried doing a voice command search. What I searched for was "Chuckie Cheese" and the results showed "hot nude teen" in the search field. That kind of pissed me off as I was showing my wife. Just thought I'd mention that.

    Update: Guess my pronunciation sucked the first time I tried it. Weird, I've always thought that I've spoke pretty clearly LOL.

    Nope - I just tried it and it came up Chuckie Cheese...I think you really have to enunciate your words carefully. Just an opinion.

    Nope. I downloaded it when first available about a month ago and the location never has worked for the 8350i. I've been pounding them for a fix ever since but to no avail. Maybe if some of you jump in there to complain it would make them pick up the phone and call the maps dept. They, after all, figured it out eventually. 8*)

    Well now that makes me want to try it again. Could be they fixed it without any fanfare.... wouldn't be the first time. Anyone else getting the location with the newest version?

    OK, mine says the same. Not sure why. It would even make search easier if it knows where you are. What I do is say something like "pizza Sayreville NJ" and it finds it ok. I have even said a phone number and it looks up the person

    location pops up when certain keywords are put in the search field! I typed "delivery" and before it gave me results it asked me to type in my zip code! pretty nifty but i guess we were looking for it to already know where we were, that might invade privacy!

    Well, that's where setting your gps permissions would come in. I want it to do the homework for me. How many times in your travels do you know the zipcode you're in? And searching by city is not always the closest.
