The new feature is compatible with a select group of BlackBerry devices at the moment include BlackBerry Pearl 8110, 8120 and 8130 in US.

According to the announcement on the team blog, here is the instruction on using the voice search:

  1. Press “0″ to center the map view around your location
  2. Press the left-side key and hold it while you say the name or type of business you’re looking for (for example, “pizza”)
  3. When you’re done speaking, release the left-side key, and our voice recognition technology will figure out your request and find the business you’ve been looking for, no typing needed.

Get it now on your BlackBerry Pearl by visiting http://www.google.com/gmm on your mobile phone
