Good news for you Foursquare users out there. Foursquare for BlackBerry was just updated, now supporting photos. You are now able to check-in to a venue and add a photo, as well as submit a photo to the venue you are checking in to. They also announced that they will be adding the ability to comment on check-ins via BlackBerry. This feature should be available within the next week or so. Thanks @MrCippy !!

Foursquare for BlackBerry updated - Now with photos
Downloaded the new app, but it won't let me login. Keeps kicking back to the login screen. I've edited the permissions, rebooted, etc. No luck.
BB 9700
OS 6.0.0.424
I have the same problem. Knowing foursquare, there will probably be an update soon to fix the issue but it's back to version 1.9.12 for me.
Hmm strange.. 9800 here. Same thing happened to me. I just created a new password, then logged in & had no prob. Finally nice to be able to upload pics, I have gowalla and it's great so maybe I'll enjoy foursquare more!
Because I've gotten the link off of here, blackberry app world and @foursquare from twitter and its still giving me version 1.9.12 meaning no uploading pics. So I'm taking it they'll repost the new update again later this week or next week?
Hmm, while loading the update, my 9800 crashed, and is now stuck in a boot loop. Wonderful.
Seems to work fine for me on my 8530 running .1030 Although, this thing always seems to run apps just fine that others have problems with.
Just upgraded to this build on my Torch. It works fine for me. Love photos!
I now have the new build too it finally showed up. Ready to test it out!
and now it's also in languange... my version is italian now, same device language.. with previous version was in english only
i just upgrade it from app world and it said trouble with your connection and this link too ,i am running on os6 9300 :( i had try edit permissin, battery pulling , still dinnt work for me
It was strange, when I pulled up the download screen it had the 1.9.12, which I already had. I downloaded it anyways, and did an overwrite of the existing app, and after the reset Foursquare was nowhere to be found. When I went back to the link to download, it then had the 1.9.55, which I downloaded, and it seems to be working fine.
Seems to be missing the "Send to Twitter' "Send to Facebook" checkboxes. Instead you only have the option to add a picture, or just the "Tell my friends" option.
Instead of posting every check-in, I like to control that function, so I went back to 1.9.12 for now. Hopefully it's a simple oversight.
Downloaded on my S2 and seems to be working good. Nice addition of being able to add pictures.
i am 9700 with O6 and i updated my foursquare... i notice that checking in is very slow or not even getting in....
Just updated my foursquare on my 8310 OS 4.5.0 and it froze my phone. Even tried to delete the older version and start new. Still didn't work. Had to go back to an older version of foursquare 1.9.5. Missing the 1.9.12 version. Anyone know how I can get the 1.9.12 version?
Just updated to the new version of Foursquare and everything went smooth with no problems at all...
BlackBerry Bold 9700
OS 6.0.0.448
Went back to 1.9.12 this morn. New version missing feature that allows u to choose if to receive notifications via app or email; say's "logged on" while logging in instead of "logging in"; just kept saying "Checkin in" when had actually checked in thus causing me to check in more than once. Never show's that you have... too buggy.
On 8520 OS ver. 1036
Rubbishupdate!
Just downloaded it yesterday and today. It seems like there were 2 updates between yesterday and today! I downloaded 1.9.60 yesterday and 1.9.62 today!
Uploaded a photo successfully, but I don't know where I can view the photos (I have uploaded or others)! Is it just one way traffic to the foursquare servers? I'm on a 9780 - OS 6.0.0.359.
Do let me know if you figure out a way to view the photos on my device and OS.
