We mentioned Urbanspoon’s service a bit back but they just released a BlackBerry app at DevCon. They sent me an email that their new app lets you choose restaurants near you with a sort of slot machine for picking a favorite.
You just hit the space bar or shake your Storm and it will find a good restaurant near you buy choosing cuisine, neighborhood and price you are looking for. It also lets you simple search and browse restaurants near you using your location.
Check it out at www.urbanspoon.com/blackberry

One bug I saw was that sometimes even if you lock all of the rollers, you might get a result one time, and then no results the next time, which makes no sense (since the location, price and type are all locked, if there’s a result, there should always be a result).
Also it’s missing a lot of restaurants in my area… But it works quite well otherwise.

Still bugs in it. Search results sometimes works. I ask it to search loction/restaurant/$ give me different loction/restaurant and price. Still needs work.

It has no restaurants within 10 miles of me, even though I only live 25 miles outside the nation’s capital.
