Try this code:

public class LocHandler extends Thread{

private BlackBerryCriteria blackBerryCriteria = null;
private BlackBerryLocation blackBerryLocation = null;
private BlackBerryLocationProvider blackBerryLocationProvider = null;
double lat = 0.0;
double lng = 0.0;

public void run(){
blackBerryCriteria = new BlackBerryCriteria();

if(GPSInfo.isGPSModeAvailable(GPSInfo.GPS_MODE_CELLSITE))
{
blackBerryCriteria.setMode(GPSInfo.GPS_MODE_CELLSITE);
}
else if(GPSInfo.isGPSModeAvailable(GPSInfo.GPS_MODE_ASSIST))
{
blackBerryCriteria.setMode(GPSInfo.GPS_MODE_ASSIST);
}
else if(GPSInfo.isGPSModeAvailable(GPSInfo.GPS_MODE_AUTONOMOUS))
{
blackBerryCriteria.setMode(GPSInfo.GPS_MODE_AUTONOMOUS);
}
else
{
blackBerryCriteria.setCostAllowed(true);
blackBerryCriteria.setPreferredPowerConsumption(Criteria.POWER_USAGE_LOW);
}

try {
blackBerryLocationProvider = (BlackBerryLocationProvider) BlackBerryLocationProvider.getInstance(blackBerryCriteria);
blackBerryLocation = (BlackBerryLocation) blackBerryLocationProvider.getLocation(60);

QualifiedCoordinates qualifiedCoordinates = blackBerryLocation.getQualifiedCoordinates();

lat = qualifiedCoordinates.getLatitude();
lng = qualifiedCoordinates.getLongitude();

System.out.println("Latitude :"+lat);
System.out.println("Longitude :"+lng);
}
catch(Exception e)
{
System.out.println("Error in location :"+e.toString());
System.out.println("Error in location :"+e.getMessage());
}
}
}
