Short answer - don't try to do this.

There are various bits of code around that try to do this using Google Gear Server, which is deprecated.  There are other servers out there that will take your Cell tower location and attempt to determine your location using it too I believe.  However I recommend that you just use the BlackBerry supplied equivalents.

You can read more here:

And have a look at the SimpleLocationApi you will find here:

Try this:

                criteria.setHorizontalAccuracy(Criteria.NO_REQUIREMENT);
                criteria.setVerticalAccuracy(Criteria.NO_REQUIREMENT);
                criteria.setCostAllowed(true);
                criteria.setPreferredPowerConsumption(Criteria.POWER_USAGE_LOW);

And read this:

Hope it Helps,
