    So as far as I know there is no BB that has both. It's one or the other.

    Any clue when RIM will release a device with both? Because that would be sweet. A guy can dream right?

    You could purchase a bluetooth GPS receiver to pair with a wifi enabled BB.

    Don't you have to have a data plan in order to use the GPS?

    I would think that you would need a data plan to use GPS.

    As is covered in great detail in the GPS forum, yes you must have a Blackberry data plan to use a GPS enabled phone. There are no GPS packages available for the BB that will store the maps on the phone. The 8820 has both WiFi & GPS. It has no camera. I've been using one for months. For more information on WiFi or GPS, look in those forums. Tons of great information in each.

    The GPS on my 8820 works even without a sim card in it, you just cant view the maps without a data plan. The GPS will still give you coordinates, speed, heading, etc, without using data.
