When will there be a version for the southern hemisphere? especially one that includes Australia and New Zealand.

Will there be an update to Live Search for Blackberry Phones anytime soon, especially a version that works on the Blackberry Storm?

When can BlackBerry users expect the new release?

How does the "locate me" feature work?  I have a Samsung Omnia from Verizon without unlocked GPS so it would be nice if this functionality worked.  When I try to access it, I get an error message noting that they cannot locate my position (even approximately).  

Please help...

i also have an omnia and i get that error message...

HELP!

i've got a motorola q9c verizon locked GPS, the locate me option is greyed out. any fix?

@Glen Roberts: We currently have no plans to release this app in Australia and New Zealand but this could change.

@Hani, @Anatha: We are considering updates to our Blackberry app in the near future.

@Mike Dyenson: Mike, the "locate me" feature does not currently work on your phone due to your provider not enabling GPS on all of their devices.

@Aleis: Aleis, if you are also on Verizon network, the "locate me" feature does not work due to your provider not enabling GPS on all of their devices.

It would be nice to have Android support (iPhone also but that's more of a closed market to get into).

Can I just mention - props for letting users of unknown devices click through anyway rather than just blocking them.

Thanks, love the "catch-up" features (relative to what we're used to with desktop Search). However, you shouldn't even be mentioning 3D (that includes 3D-like) because it has nothing to do with 3D. It's a photographic closeup you're offering, without the image rotate that we get on the Desktop. It's that image-rotate capability that simulates 3D, and it ain't on the Mobile version. Anyway, thanks again for keeping it fresh.

I'm interested to know how you determine the location of the user. Is it based on triangulation algorithms or are you (Microsoft) having to pay the carriers to return it?

And the next obvious question... can we tap into it and then write our own location aware apps for Windows Mobile...?

Very cool.

The Locate Me thing doesn't work well in rural areas.  Live Search places me about 10 miles away from where I actually am and also lists the wrong zip code to the city.  Sorry to reference Google, but their GoogleMaps app is within a mile or so for accuracy.

Regardless, this has been a fantastic release of Live Search for WinMo.  Thanks!

I can't enter addresses like I used to under the 'Directions' mode. Now when I enter a new location it starts searching for places around me and it can't find the new address I put in! Before it was so easy, what am I doing wrong?

I also have an Omnia and the "locate me" feature does not work.Maybe Verizon has locked this feature?

Need help!

Happy with the refresh, but I'm suprised by these omissions:

-Better Touch-device support. Where are gestures for zooming? These should augment the d-pad zoom.

-Voice recognition for web search. Google has it. Your app has voice recognition. I should be able to click web and then speak my search. Right now, "web" is just a link to the windows live search mobile web site. And it doesn't even pass on the current location to the site!

-Better VGA support. The maps still render tiny type on my VGA device (Fuze.)

Happy with getting a refresh tho! Locate Me and predictive text is nice, but I'm always bitter when my Microsoft apps get trounced by the Google apps.

On my T-Mobile Dash the Locate Me feature cannot detect my location.  Is the reason the same as the Verizon problem?

Keep the great new features coming.
