It’s been a while since we saw an update from Foursquare, but during the BlackBerry App World event in NYC that we attended, the PR folks did mention that a new update would be coming within about a month. So here it is at last, as promised by the Foursquare team. Here’s the full new list of updates:

Sort Checkins – Quickly sort your nearby check-ins by time (most recent check-in) or by distance (closest check-in).
Photo Upload – Now change/upload a profile photo via your BlackBerry!
See Specials Nearby – Now you can see what venues feature specials when searching for what’s nearby.
BlackBerry Maps Integration – From a venue details page, click on the Google map tile and automatically get launched into BlackBerry maps.
Improved Battery Life – foursquare is always focused on battery performance and has made a few improvements.
Improved Location Support – Additional improvements have been made to location, allowing for better location support when checking in.
Small Tweaks & Fixes – foursquare is always listening to user feedback and making small fixes & tweaks along the way.
Note from Mac: app seems to move a lot quicker than before but it could just be me!

To download Foursquare or update it, point your BlackBerry Browser to foursquare.com/blackberry
