Hello everyone, here is a happy new BB user. I got my BB two days ago from att/cingular, NO data plan (I just double checked this). Just for curiosity, I followed OP's instructions and turned on GPS/maps. Guess what, I had it up and running! Maps dynamically loaded, I can see the symbol of EDGE and data traffic going on and off. Unfortunately, no email and web brower.
Anyone can explain this? Is it a temporary promotion from att or I turned on some "secret" service unintentionally and should keep quiet about it? The maps are good but no dynamicall re-route and turn-by-turn voice direction (or I missed something?) Is there any better software I can use? And my understanding is that the data service is required only to load maps on the fly. Can I pre-load all maps and use BB as a standalone GPS w/o data service?
