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.

Would love to use Evernote on BlackBerry Bold 9000 but until there’s a true client version it’s out of the question.

The Blackberry client needs a massive feature set update – this way I don’t see it as much more than 3 pictures that point to the mobile website. What would be lovely to see:

- Offline storage
- Integration with the native MemoPad application
- Preferably system wide integration, especially in “Send To” menus.
- Starchitect tge Architect
  
  Yes yes yes.
  
  I would pay for memopad integration and (limited) offline storage.
  
  Just being able to edit a note would be brilliant

I have to say, I’m horribly disappointed that I have to install that bloated BB App World program in order to install your app. So much for that idea, it isn’t worth the memory it takes to install App World.

As it’s not possible to edit (non-txt) notes this application is useless for me.

Whole idea of ‘documents in the cloud’ sound interesting but it’s not existing with evernote: I can’t work (I mean – edit) my notes while I’m away from my laptop. I can only view then (morover – in lousy manner – on BB 8900 fonts are too big to read whole sentence).

What I would need to use this soft:
– adjust font size
– edit rich text notes

PS: Briefly looking into previous comments says than I’m not only who complains. Shame on you, Evernote!

great idea, poor implementation. how can you leave out local storage of notes, no local editing? are you kidding me? the blackberry memopad app beats blackberry evernote. i’m uninstalling until there is offline mode and proper local editing. this also means sync would be necessary to bring down new content. also a lot of people have a preference for ota downloads, which isn’t up to date atm. i’d also like the app to be wifi aware to warn me of large up/down loads over my data plan, a checkbox for only sync over wifi would be nice.

Joining the chorus here that are flabbergasted that, here it is almost two years after Evernote for Blackberry was released and yet one *still* cannot edit a non-text note! This app is completely useless until it’s brought on-par at least with the browser-based version.

Who the heck developed this app and what were they thinking?

Same issue as many others for me. Need note editing capability for this app to be useful. After I downloaded it and was playing around with it I assumed it was malfunctioning and went to google to figure out why mine would not edit. Suprised to find out it is not an option on the Blackberry???

Just adding my vote for better integration w natuive BB features. Add it to “send to”, need to easily add webpages with comments. Offline would be great, but not as important as integration.
