TellMe Now Available For BlackBerry Bold

On December 23rd, another free BlackBerry application was made available to BlackBerry Bold users. TellMe is a voice recognition app that provides GPS directions, traffic information (where available), maps, businesses, movie times courtesy of Fandango, as well as weather information. By using keywords such as “coffee” or “movies” or “sports”, TellMe gets you the information you’re looking for. TellMe is a Microsoft subsidiary and therefore uses LiveSearch for a majority of its results.

Simply say what you want, and hear or see the results. Then, connect or transact to act on the information.

Sounds easy. When creating my list of five free BlackBerry apps, I mentioned TellMe along with another voice recognition app, Vlingo. Vlingo uses Yahoo! oneSearch for its results. Personally, I like the TellMe interface better. It doesn’t appear that TellMe allows dictation of texts and emails. Vlingo does.

While I continue to toy with this one, you can download TellMe at m.tellme.com. Other than the BlackBerry Bold, TellMe is currently supported by AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile and Verizon. To see if your specific phone is supported, click here.
