i ordered a 7520 last week. with nextel service. i called nextel prior to ordering to see if i needed the blackberry plan(which was $40). they said all i needed was the data plan. My question is do i need the blackberry plan to utilize the gps service?(from what i read here i dont think so) while i phone with nextel i asked if with the data i would be able to use aim on it.(all my communications needs in one wireless device) they said i would need the black berry plan. Is there any way to use aim with just data plan? A hack or different program that would allow me to use my aim account.
