    Once I get my storm and assuming I can use the standard GPS without paying the extra 10 a month, can google maps use GPS? Or is it only the cell triangulation? Will I need to use BB maps to get GPS?

    I wouldn't be sure about that seeing how verizon like to cripple the gps on their blackberries. Though it would appear that blackberry maps is now sponsored by google maps. They are advertising that you can use the blackberry maps with that phone though. I am hoping that they open it up for all of their blackberries when they release that phone.

    He's had the phone for the last 3 months, I think he can be sure. I mean I would hope he's not that incompetent. =) <3.

    Will BB Maps allow turn by turn directions and update your route as you go like VZNav, or will it just do route planning?

    I friend of mine works for VZW Corporate Sales. He came out of a meeting on Friday, and said that they were not going to lock the GPS. He said it will work with the GPS Sats, or if you are inside you can use the towers to triangulate your position. I will check with him later and find out if you will be able to get turn by turn direction with the phone without VZ Nav.

    Thanks for your service GT.

    Yeah somehow I think getting a job at a Canadian company might interfere with your day to day duties
