VZW is a CDMA carrier. this has a SIMcard slot....

but not TWO SIMcard slots like i see in most world phones.

Doesn't that make this a GSM phone?]]>Oct 20th 2008 11:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/20/blackberry-storm-in-action-ad-nauseum/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/20/blackberry-storm-in-action-ad-nauseum/Oct 20th 2008 11:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/20/blackberry-storm-in-action-ad-nauseum/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/20/blackberry-storm-in-action-ad-nauseum/Oct 20th 2008 12:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/20/blackberry-storm-in-action-ad-nauseum/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/20/blackberry-storm-in-action-ad-nauseum/Oct 20th 2008 1:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/20/blackberry-storm-in-action-ad-nauseum/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/20/blackberry-storm-in-action-ad-nauseum/Oct 20th 2008 11:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/20/blackberry-storm-in-action-ad-nauseum/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/20/blackberry-storm-in-action-ad-nauseum/Oct 20th 2008 12:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/20/blackberry-storm-in-action-ad-nauseum/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/20/blackberry-storm-in-action-ad-nauseum/
don't mind the poster above me, he's letting hatred cloud simple facts.

the way that Navi worked on my voyager (and the other phones that support it *as far as I know*) is that you can download the app and either have it unlimited for a monthly fee, or you can use it for two days at a set price, something like 4.99 or in that general area. it was a very smart setup in my opinion.

I don't think that they would change this for the BB. they do usually force you to have a data plan with their smartphones though. just something to keep in mind. I may be wrong though, Verizon has been changing at a pretty steady pace over the last few years and I've been out of their loop for around 5 months now.

(and no, I'm not a VZW fanboy, I have t-mo at the moment.. and I've had AT&T [in the form of Suncom], T-mobile [two separate time frames], Sprint, Verizon, Helio, and PrimeCo [former name for Ntelos].)]]>Oct 20th 2008 12:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/20/blackberry-storm-in-action-ad-nauseum/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/20/blackberry-storm-in-action-ad-nauseum/Oct 20th 2008 12:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/20/blackberry-storm-in-action-ad-nauseum/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/20/blackberry-storm-in-action-ad-nauseum/
good point. he may have meant it the way that you're suggesting.

I personally thought that he was wondering if they'll make you pay for the feature if you're not going to use it at all. If that was the case, then: my mistake and disregard my post.]]>Oct 20th 2008 12:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/20/blackberry-storm-in-action-ad-nauseum/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/20/blackberry-storm-in-action-ad-nauseum/Oct 20th 2008 12:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/20/blackberry-storm-in-action-ad-nauseum/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/20/blackberry-storm-in-action-ad-nauseum/Oct 20th 2008 12:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/20/blackberry-storm-in-action-ad-nauseum/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/20/blackberry-storm-in-action-ad-nauseum/Oct 20th 2008 12:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/20/blackberry-storm-in-action-ad-nauseum/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/20/blackberry-storm-in-action-ad-nauseum/Oct 20th 2008 4:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/20/blackberry-storm-in-action-ad-nauseum/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/20/blackberry-storm-in-action-ad-nauseum/Oct 21st 2008 9:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/20/blackberry-storm-in-action-ad-nauseum/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/20/blackberry-storm-in-action-ad-nauseum/
Verizon is however in the process of "opening" their network. If a device or app is compatible with their network they can use it. The key is how they define compatible.

To me, this would seem to insinuate that if a device has GPS, and happens to use another app, that will be OK in the future. However for now, vz navigator is likely the only option on verizon's in-house marketed phones. After they open up however we should be able to use vanilla firmware, and service books (on bb's) and use gps with bb maps, after having vz re-enable your phone for a few bucks on your current plan.

hope that helps. ]]>Oct 21st 2008 2:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/20/blackberry-storm-in-action-ad-nauseum/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/20/blackberry-storm-in-action-ad-nauseum/Oct 20th 2008 11:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/20/blackberry-storm-in-action-ad-nauseum/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/20/blackberry-storm-in-action-ad-nauseum/Oct 20th 2008 11:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/20/blackberry-storm-in-action-ad-nauseum/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/20/blackberry-storm-in-action-ad-nauseum/Oct 20th 2008 12:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/20/blackberry-storm-in-action-ad-nauseum/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/20/blackberry-storm-in-action-ad-nauseum/

They don't even have a launch date for the HTC Touch diamond, let alone the HTC touch pro.
