One of the latest software solutions for BlackBerry smartphones to get updated was Foursquare. Recently released in version 1.9.0, the mobile application is now available for download from the company's website, and packs a nice range of appealing features, such as a photo upload option, which is meant to offer users the possibility to change/upload a profile photo straight from their BlackBerry devices.

A great deal of other options and capabilities are also included in the new release, such as improved battery life, and enhancements that should be followed by similar improvements in the near future. Moreover, it seems that the new Foursquare for BlackBerry 1.9 comes to handsets with improved location support, which is meant to offer better location support when checking in, the company states.

Other features of the latest release of this BlackBerry application include: - Sort Check-ins – Quickly sort your nearby check-ins by time (most recent check-in) or by distance (closest check-in). - See Specials Nearby – Now you can see what venues feature specials when searching for what’s nearby. - BlackBerry Maps Integration – From a venue details page, click on the Google map tile and automatically get launched into BlackBerry maps. - Small Tweaks & Fixes – foursquare is always listening to user feedback and making small fixes & tweaks along the way.

In case there are some who haven't met Foursquare until now, we should note that the software solution can easily prove one of the nicest options when it comes to discovering new restaurants, or connecting with friends so as to easily share photos with of visited places with them. Of course, the application can be used for finding other locations as well, including clubs or the like. The service has started to be adopted by many mobile phone users, and the owners of BlackBerry devices from Research In Motion are among them.

Foursquare for BlackBerry version 1.9.0 is available for download from Softpedia too, via this link.
