One of the first applications that I recommend to everyone using a BlackBerry is Beyond411 (formerly, Berry411). The developer, Phil Bogle, moved to an iPhone recently and is almost done porting the app to the iPhone as iPhone411.

Phil posts a blog entry detailing the features and includes a screencast. Features include:

• Find nearby local business information by name or category
• - 20,000 word autocomplete dictionary
• - 500 item directory of popular businesses
• - Fast list interface
• * Everything you need to know without leaving the app
• - Driving directions
• - Reviews, Images, Web Links with inline browser
• - Call Business
• - Show directions in Google maps
