Not working on real BlackBerry

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Nothing happen on real BlackBerry devices.

It seems there is a javascript compatibility problem : it doesn't enter the
BB part : "else if(typeof(window.blackberry)!="undefined" &&
blackberry.location.GPSSupported)".

I made tests and it's the Palm Pre part with Mojo "else if
(typeof(Mojo.Service.Request)!="Mojo.Service.Request")" that is the problem.

I could fix it by putting the BlackBerry elseif before the Mojo elseif.

Now, it's trying to get a signal.
However, it didn't ask me permission and it's still answering "Position
unavailable" while in the settings I could get a new position without problem.

I will try to see if I can fix it too.

Ok it's working now: to make it work, you should authorise Javascript to ask for
geolocation in the browser settings : Options / General Properties

I didn't find it before because the french translation for this setting is 
really
meaningless : "Activer la prise en charge d'emplacement JavaScript"  :(

Yes, you should insert that fix, just exchange the 2 "else if" and it works.
(on BB Bold 4.6)

Hey, 
at first thank you for this smart js-piece. 

Regarding the "Mojo-Problem" I'd like to mention that an additional check like
if (typeof(window.Mojo)!="undefined" &&
typeof(Mojo.Service.Request)!="Mojo.Service.Request") 

really solves the problem because the code rearranging leads to an error in my
firefox console (mojo undefined). 

Just liked to mention that. 
Thanks again for the script. 
Regards
