upgraded on Storm. Now the Cell-Site Location doesn't seem to work anymore. Not good, hope theres a solution

Just installed the update to a Storm, found my location faster than before even the basement where I work

OK, WTF? Why would they remove the cell site location capabilities? That's just stupid!!! Now you can't use it on non-GPS capable BBs. Dumbass move guys! Put it back in! Not only that, but if you're inside, cell site location before would help you get at least a general location fix so you could look stuff up. Now it's isht!
PUT CELL SITE LOCATION BACK IN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just downloaded. First it finds your cellsite location, then in less than 10 seconds, even when indoors I get a GPS lock.

This is a great app!

This program is even better now works absolutely fantastic! This is definitely the best program for the storm.

Poynt is so cool!
k2kool18#cb Aug 25, 2009 at 12:21 pm
I don't see it on app world. Only see version 1.3.1.29
redwanhuq Aug 25, 2009 at 3:14 pm
Why is App World never up-to-date? It got Pandora's update so late too.
belogical Aug 25, 2009 at 5:12 pm
yeah, it kills me too. i use apps like this every so often, so I want them archived. you can only archive with the blackberry store. if an update comes out, I end up doing it from an OTA link, then have it archived and installed. what a hassle. then, when the update finally makes it to app world, i have to delete and install all over again after 73 reboots. arggggg!

Doesn't work on my Bold. Opens fine, but any search and I get an error for "insufficient coverage". Previous version worked fine on this OS, I don't think my OS is the issue.

Love Poynt! I use it often and it has been a real lifesaver on several occasions. Will check out the upgrade!

This great application just became greater!
Just installed the latest Poynt version and it does seem to acquire the gps location quicker. Local restaurant search is a great feature as well.

is the better than where?
T-BONE82 Aug 25, 2009 at 3:59 pm
one of the best apps around. for the update you need to download from the poynt mobile website (http://m.mypoynt.com). Appworld is not up-to-date with the latest version yet.
Cheers and enjoy.

I think due to this, I'm going to stop installing apps via App World. App World is good for newbs. I don't think I'm a newb anymore.

Thanks Poynt!
Nucleartx Aug 25, 2009 at 9:30 pm
It WORKS with my Sprint Tour!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Full GPS location now!!!
eyecon82 Aug 25, 2009 at 9:37 pm
I hope this fix's the GPS and reverse lookup issue for the sprin
Devil Aug 25, 2009 at 11:11 pm
What I don't like about Poynt is when you use the Movie feature (which I use a lot), it gives you options for trailers and when I click it, it goes to a TELUS website using BB browser and then says "not supported" or something to that effect.
a) Why have that option when the BB browser doesnt support flash?
b) See a.

I'm on Verizon here in the states and I watch movie trailers all the time. Not a device issue. Must be your carrier or some settings related to your carrier?
