Evernote for BlackBerry, you say?
The, much (read: MUCH) requested, native Evernote for BlackBerry is now available. Yes, it’s true. BlackBerry® owners, you now get a slick app to create new notes and search through all of your existing Evernote content.
We’re very excited about this release because, like a BlackBerry, Evernote is designed to fit perfectly into today’s fluid life/work mix. The minute you need to remember something, take out your BlackBerry and use Evernote to capture or recall whatever it is, then go on with your life. Isn’t it nice not having to worry about forgetting stuff?
Features
Evernote for BlackBerry lets you create notes containing text, snapshots, voice recordings, and file attachments. Once created, the new content is automatically sent to the Evernote Service, making it available across all the versions of Evernote that you use. You can also access your existing notes, search by keywords, filter by tags, or simply browse.
It is important to note that features are linked to the capabilities of your device. For example, if your BlackBerry does not have a camera, then you will not see the Snapshot note option. Also, the note searching and display experience depends on the capabilities of your BlackBerry’s built-in web browser. In general, the newer your BlackBerry, the better Evernote will run on it.
Compatibility
Evernote for BlackBerry is compatible with recent BlackBerry smartphones. Currently supported devices are:
- BlackBerry® Bold™
- BlackBerry® Curve™
- BlackBerry® Storm™
- More soon (subscribe to this blog or follow us on Twitter to be alerted)
We will release an update shortly, which will add support for some additional devices. Many older BlackBerry smartphones can be upgraded to newer operating systems. Please check with your BlackBerry vendor or carrier. Unfortunately, due to device limitations, some smartphones will not be compatible with Evernote for BlackBerry.
Availability
Evernote for BlackBerry is available through BlackBerry App World in the Productivity & Utility > Personal Organization category.
[UPDATE: A direct download is now available on our BlackBerry page]
BlackBerry App World is designed to only display applications that are compatible with your device, which mean that Evernote will only show up if your smartphone is listed above.
What’s next?
Tons of cool stuff. So, stay tuned.

I love Evernote and find it very useful. Hoping for an app for my Nokia E71 soon (s60). Then it would be perfect.
Andrew Tatum
Please, please get this working on Blackberry 8330/OS4.5. As the link below explains, the Blackberry Curve (in all of its “83xx” variants) is the MOST POPULAR US smart phone.

Pretty please

Is RIM becoming the next Apple Inc.? No download for international users because …?
Please tell RIM to open AppWorld ASAP or drop the “exclusivity.”
Sean Rima
Sadly no app store in Ireland so cannot get
mike
Really suprised the 8330 phone is not supported.
Ken
Thanks for alienating every Verizon Curve user, since we all have an 8330 with version 4.5. Until there’s a version for that, you have left out a huge segment of potential customers.
Ari Markenson
I was excited until I realized it only works with the newest BBs. Thanks Evernote, what a great way to let down all of the BB users dying for this application…..
Nmc
Appworld on BB is nothing like the apple appstore. Please don’t rely on that distribution engine only.
Reaching a majority of BB users should have been your priority. Creating groups of haves and have nots doesn’t meet your customer requirements. It is critically important that a release of this magnitude be managed properly.
Hector
Thinking here. There is a lot of 8330 out there, but no Evernote client. I am trying to figure out the logic. Thanks
Jarmer
Thank you all so much for making your awesome service avail on my Storm!
one question: What does the “Use GPS” functionality do exactly?
Andrew Sinkov
@Jarmer When selected, that will add your GPS coordinates to notes you create.
Belgium
pffff what a major disappointment… not available in Belgium….:-( just put the link on you’re site
Maxim Weinstein
+1 request for Pearl support (OS 4.5)
Marcos
And for Nokia smartphone users, any news ?
Greg
The Curve 83xx just passed the iPhone as the most sold smartphone. Is the need for 4.6 a technical limitation or was it a design decision? It just seems that you could reach many more users by offering a version compatible with the Curve 83xx running v4.5.
Emory
Grats on what looks like a solid release. I’m sure many BlackBerry users are happy.
Any plans for an S60 client?
Blair
Thank you! Yes!

Sorry, but also with the curve here no installation possible. Evernote works for me on Win and Lin perfectly. Sadly not for Blackberry. Bad PR, Guys.
TonyB
Curve 8900 with 4.6.1.231 and it is not listed in the AppWorld.
I’m an AppWorld fan but but kinda sucks its not showing up for everyone when it should be.
JohnnyB
Storm 9530 and it doesn’t show up. Download link would be very appreciated.
Michael S
PLEASE add support for 4.5! There’s no way on older devices to go to 4.6, to my knowledge!
Michael S
Yeah, I checked and phones like the Curve 83xx series and the old pearl will NEVER be 4.6-compatible!
Basically if it doesn’t have 4.6 or 4.7 now, it won’t ever.
I really hope you guys make it work on the 4.5 devices!
Brian H
Are there any plans for an S60 version of Evernote? This is a much bigger installed user base than bloody [i]Android[/i]

Evernote is not available on the UK AppWorld using my Curve 8900 v4.6.1.206
Vadim
I have 8830 World Edition, OS 4.2.2. This is a fairly recent phone, still sold in stores. Don’t you just need a network connection? What features of v4.6 did you need to cut off so many existing customers?!!! Software emulator is free…
John Dada
Its amazing to see so many people who are citing how much they feel “let down” and shafted by the lack of a 8330/4.5 supporting Evernote. Lest we not all forget, it is free. How can someone “let down” when they are giving you something? Just an observation…
And that said, please, please, please release an OTA version that supports 8330/4.5 Curves…please, pretty please?
Mike
Still no show on AppWorld UK, more than 24 hours after being announced here
Androider
ANDROID!!!
Jason
One more Verizon 8330 user here…it was like waking up on Christmas morning to find all your presents stolen. Please help us get the APP for v4.5!
Bill
I downloaded the app from appstore and it installed and immediately asked me to download a patch and the download fails..
Also I cannot add notes to from the BB (Storm 9530). I get an error “Error communicating with the Evernote servers: Connection closed.
Anyone with thoughts.
Sal
why is it only on AppWorld ?? Which means most of the world cant download it !?
Happy you got the BB app going : disappointed that I cant download it off your own site !
Miguel Rodas
I downloaded it on my curve 8900 running OS 4.6 without any problems but any time I try to open evernote it gives me a module error/out of memory message. As far as I know I still have 70 MB free for apps. Does anyone have any idea why I’m getting that error?

What about the original curve 8300 series? I use it and I see them all over. I want to have options for that phone too.
Emanuele
Installed now via OTA in Italy

After pretty some seconds

Anyone with thoughts?

Please help us!

Evernote is one of the valuable assets in BlackBerry.It is used to create notes containing text, snapshots, voice recordings, and file attachments. Once created, the new content is automatically sent to the Evernote Service, making it available across all the versions of Evernote that you use. You can also access your existing notes, search by keywords, filter by tags, or simply browse.
Pradeep D
Downloaded the app OTA and the same “Error communicating with the Evernote servers” appears on login. The app sometimes logs in but then freezes itself as well as the phone.
In India on Vodafone, no app store here!
Ken Hutchinson
Reagrding John Dada’s comment about the “free” application:
Don’t forget that Evernote has a “premium” version, which I’m assuming they’d like to get more and more customers.
Alienating a huge segment of Blackberry users will prevent them from growing their subscription based business. (I’m not that naive to believe that most Blackberry users will all of a sudden pay for premium, but I for one will not since most of my internet access is through my Blackberry).
Ray L
So I took a shot at DLing the OTA version on my curve 8330 from sprint figureing it’s insured what’s the worst that could happen. While I am sure Evernote won’t substantiate this, the program did install on my 8330, however when uploading I get an error that says can’t connect to Evernote servers. What I found interesting was that the error comes up twice even though I only hit it once, and even more importantly it then says upload complete and sure enough, my test note was uploaded. and ever since then everything uploads first time, at least so far. I wouldn’t say I would encourage any 8330 users to jump to DLing the OTA but I will say it worked for me.
ThankYou
Just wanted to say,
THANK YOU for getting Evernote on BlackBerry!
Evernote is awesome and you guys rock! 
Frederic Ducros
Hi guys
Thanks, given I say no to urPhone, I am glad you have it on BlackBerry. thanks. Thanks. Thanks again.
Now, just one note, I have an 8310, with OS 4.5, on AT&T. And it works like a breeze. Am I missing something?
cheers,
Frederic
Syed
You guys really rock, thank you for a great step now we can enjoy Evernote on our blackberry. Thank you again for such great release.
Steve
I’m in the UK and Evernote is not yet in my App World. Also I’ve tried OTA downloads but if I type in a direct link to the dl I get a communication error, and I get the same trying to access the downloads page from the Evernote mobile site. However, I have managed to download the app and install it using Desktop Manager. The link to the zip file to download to pc is at the bottom of this page – http://www.evernote.com/about/download/blackberry/

Thanks for this feature on Blackberry. Sure is helpful, God bless.
waterprise2
OK, I {heart} all of the non-US users, but THANK YOU from a BB Bold User here in the US!
Did an OTA last week, and the app loaded perfectly and works like a charm!
At this rate, I will actually use my monthly storage of my premium account!
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
Subhash Rao
Please integrate it into the menu when viewing inbox or reading a message..similar to Anagram. Will make it a breeze to capture mails to the Evernote To-do notebook
Wei-Yen Tan
I was disappointed to to hear that in the post that they would release it for 4.6 and up (I have 4.5 on Curve 8310). HOWEVER when I downloaded the standalone installer and installed it through the Desktop Manager….everything worked fine!
Evernote for Blackberry does work on 4.5 if you install it through the Desktop Manager. If you guys have any questions I would be happy to answer. You can tweet me @weiyen or here.
One question however is how would I make use of the GPS info on the Blackberry through the Evernote client, the web, or mobile?
