For those of you who are looking for this, Yahoo Go! is now available for the 8800.

what exactly do you get with YahooGo?

News, weather, directions, yahoo mail basically. It's been availble for other devices for a while, finally available for the 8800.

Yahoo! Go. The Internet to go.

Wow I just checked a few days ago so this is nice. While some didn't like it for it's speed, I did.

The Yahoo GO web site shows that it is available for the Cingular 8800, but not the Verizon 8830. Before downloading, does anyone think it will or will not work? Isn't the 8830 just a variant of the same family? After all, GSM vs. CDMA shouldn't have any impact on running applications, should it?

OK I answered my own question by attempting to download it OTA. I got a message from Yahoo stating that it will be available for the 8830 shortly.

Did you notice the GPS support for the 8800? Haven't experimented with it much, but I didn't expect to see it.

I get "coming soon on the 8830" :( were you able to get it? if so how?

*edited*

same :(

hmm I was on that site this time last night and it said Pearl but "coming soon" for Curve and 8800. Hope it's real soon ;)

Downloading it now on my Cingi 8800...

All systems go! Works great!

Anyone want to post some impressions of this software? I am waiting for it for my 8830 and was hoping to hear good things about it!

not bad, i like that i can get my flickr stuff on there. it could be faster but not sure if thats the app or the EDGE connection. but overall i like it, kind of like a mini yahoo portal with connections to their services.

one interesting thing i noticed, when i exit the program it shows the amount of data used in this session, very cool although im on unlimited.

I use Yahoo and will use this service when ready for 8830. I like the google apps as well. How is the mail app?

very similar to the gmail app that they have. one thing they both lack is a highlighting function, i wish they would include that as I like deleting a bunch at once and without the highlighting i have to go once at a time.

what other google apps are there other than the gmail app, and the Gmap app?

i think its gmail, google search, google news, google maps. I think thats what they currently offer for apps on the BB.

awesome, thanks.

Sorry for hijacking this thread to a new topic.

love to see a version of google docs & spreadsheets on BB, free of course.

Thank you for your information

sorry for my newbiness but does :


Since Yahoo! Go uses advanced caching and background loading technology, your widget content is automatically and continuously “pushed” to your phone, so it’s always right there when you want it. You don’t need to endure lengthy downloads or navigate loads of links to get to what you want.


Mean that it will continuously use data???

Searchable POI from GPS location. I like the fact that it had my saved places (ie work, home, parents house) that I had saved at "my.yahoo.com" already loaded in on the BB.
