What better way to warm your cold and frosty, weather-beaten bodies than the news that the brand new, improved and feature-packed Qype app is now available from the BlackBerry App World™ store. This latest version continues to give you the lowdown wherever you are (with 20 main categories, such as restaurants, hotels, shops, and bars, across 159,000 cities and towns all over the world!) and to review your favourite places (or the ones that need to be straightened out somewhat to). You can also now check-in to venues, post your location directly on your Twitter and Facebook pages and hook-up with any friends in your neighbourhood!

Here are some of the highlights: -

- Save money by finding nearby businesses with special offers.

- Write or edit your own reviews and add photos straight from your phone.

- Find and connect with your friends from Facebook, Twitter and Gmail on Qype so you can share your reviews and latest favourite finds with them.

- Check-in to become Champion of your favourite places, and send updates to Twitter and Facebook to let the world know what you’ve been up to.

- Keep track of where your friends have been and their recommendations, reviews and photos in your Activity Feed.

Our smart as Einstein app will also learn all about your preferences and then make recommendations based on your tastes. And finally, if you’re in London, the all-new check in feature means that you’re all ready and able to enter our Qype Christmas Treasure Hunt and the possibility of winning an iPad (plus loads of other nifty prizes).
