Google released version 2.2.2 of their Maps program yesterday and several users are reporting that this version adds voice recognition for the Blackberry Curve. Previously voice search was limited to users of the Pearl (8110, 8120, 8130). Once you install Google Maps 2.2.2 to your Blackberry Curve (use the over the air install link below), use the left convenience key to activate voice search. Maps recognizes your voice queries and converts them to search terms. The service is similar to Yahoo’s OneSearch which I created this video review for back in April 2008.
