We have written an application in PhoneGap, which currently works in both iPhone and Android. Unfortunately it's not working as it should on BlackBerry devices.
We require someone knowledgeable in PhoneGap to fix and test the app so it works across all three - iPhone, Android and BlackBerry.
The source code of the app will be provided to the winner, following a signed non-disclosure agreement.
After this project is complete, there is also the possibility of another app requiring a similar fix, as this is also having problems on BlackBerry. If we are happy with the outcome of this project, the winner will be favoured for this, and any other followup projects.
The app is quite simple, and has three main elements:
- Product finder: This allows the user to put in a competitors part number, which brings back a compatible product from the database. If no exact match is found, it makes suggestions using a simple 'LIKE' query.
- Suppliers Map / List: A map showing markers of all the suppliers, which centres the map using geolocation. A button allows the user to switch to a list of regions, which can then be clicked to show suppliers within that region.
- Latest News: A simple list of news titles, which when clicked, shows the title and news content.
On first load, the app checks to see if a local database exists. If not, the app requests data (JSON) format from a website, then creates and inserts the data into a local database. It does this for each of the sections listed above.
On consecutive loads, the app checks it's last update timestamp with the website, and re-downloads all the data if the timestamps are different.
The data is currently less than 2MB in size.
The issues are:
- The Google Map doesn't load
- The links to News articles don't work
- The app is slow on BlackBerry
- Links on other pages sometimes get clicked, even though we're on another page (jQuery UI issue?)
We will require the winner to sign an NDA (Non-disclosure Agreement) prior to the code being released.

Hi,
I'm representing a team of BlackBerry developers, who is also a BlackBerry Alliance partner. We have over 4 years experience with BlackBerry platform.
Issues you have described are associated with the specifics of BlackBerry device and development. I must tell you up front, it might be after all that you will have to write a native BB application, to achieve your desired results.
I will be more than happy to talk more on the subject with you, and liberate you from thinking about BlackBerry quirks and twists (aside from being a great platform, it has many of those as well).
Please look at the PMB for some references.
Looking forward hearing from you.
With best regards,
Hrvoje
