Google Latitude is a new feature that can pinpoint your friends locations.  Great tool for all you stalkers out there!  To download Google Maps 3.0 w/ Latitude, just visit google.com/gmm from your BlackBerry’s web browser!

Poynt is an application that I tried out on my Blackberry Bold.  It integrates the GPS to find your location.  From there, you can search for anything and it will show directions, phone numbers, etc.  I like it because of the movie feature.  You can search for movie theatre’s, top 10 movies, and show times.  Don’t know what the movie is about?  It will give you a description of it and can even show you the trailer for the movie!  Now that’s sick!
