Google Local for BlackBerry - not!

OK, so I ran across this little tidbit over on Google news. Having a BlackBerry 7290, the first thing that I did was head over to Google Mobile. and try and download the BlackBerry version of Local for Mobile. The app downloaded without a hitch, but when I ran it, it says that I need a data plan (which I have, having BlackBerry unlimited service).

So I head over to the FAQ, thinking that I might have some common problem. Unfortuantely, it seems that I do:

At this time, Local for mobile doesn't work with Nextel, T-Mobile or BREW-enabled phones (e.g. Verizon, Alltel, U.S. Cellular), or Palm devices

So what's a man to do with a T-Mobile BlackBerry that is soooo close to be able to use this cool app?????
