Desperately Seeking Facebook Places On The Blackberry

I’ve been hankering for Places on the Blackberry ever since I heard Facebook’s geolocation service became available on this platform. Some models of the phone come with global positioning systems and wireless Internet access that you pay a bit extra for so you can, among other things, get Facebook Places.

I had to add a GPS subscription, for $9.99 a month in order to get Places working — my carrier, Verizon, calls its geolocation platform the Navigator.
