Superpages Mobile Replaces Infospace Find It!?

Today while adding BlackBerry apps to a colleague’s new BlackBerry I came across this message on InfoSpace’s website:

If that end-of-life for Infospace is true, I was still however able to find the install for regular old InfoSpace Find it! version 1.4. Anyway I was curious what Superpages Mobile was. (we mentioned it while it was in beta) You can use it as online portal, or install the BlackBerry app. The install was version 2.0.4, so I was very surprised why I haven’t heard of it before.

It has a nice home screen icon, and looks like some great content there in an attractive UI over that of Infospace. As for using Superpages Mobile I can’t provide any information because of this:

This error happened again and again, so more work seems required past this 2.0.4 version.

    I find the Superpages Modile web site very good, for example you can search on where the closes wifi is (free or not).

    Night mode on the maps is sure cool.
    Haven’t had any uncaught exceptions her on 4.2.2 8830. Of course, no GPS location either thanks to Verizon, so much of the capability of the mobile app is lost.

    I’ve had a similar crash in MS Live search and Google Maps. Appears to happen when I have too many other applications running in the background.

    I ensured I had the minimum of apps running/loaded, installed again, same error. Took out battery, again ensured fewest apps possible were running, same error.

    I upgraded my 8320 to OS 4.5.0.42 and now I can use Superpages BB app as intended. I really like it. One of the few apps that brings up it’s own map. Clean and easy to use interface.

    I switched from Find It! to this one some time back. Superpages 1.0 was hideous. The 2.0.3 was functional but sometimes buggy. But 2.0.4 is awesome and works flawlessly on my 8320. I love the night mode too and also the Add to contacts/favorites feature. I do hope they put the wifi search from wap on this one. Hope they keep up the good job!

    Nikolaus, I’m sorry to hear about your first impression with Superpages Mobile. If you don’t mind, could you please email our support email at smshelp [at] idearc [dot] com. I’d like to get some more information about what you were doing in the app when this crash occurred because this is obviously something we’d like to be able to track down.
