Does anyone know if the BB Torch 9850 has a built in GPS, rather then paying the extra $9.99 a month for VZ Navigator?

BlackBerry Maps has been unlocked on every Verizon/RIM handset since the Curve 8330.

It's just that, well- BlackBerry Maps sucks.

So basically it doesn't give you turn by turn directions? If not, what app or software can you download in order to get turn by turn directions via GPS?

If you already own a BlackBerry, why are you asking me what BlackBerry Maps can do? Any new BlackBerry you buy from Verizon will have the exact same GPS capability as the Tour you're rocking right now: free BB Maps (with no audio) free Google Maps (with no audio) or VZNav and a host of other not-free GPS apps which do offer audio navigation.

Nothing will change (with your GPS options) if you switch to a 9850...

Yes, they certainly do but you should be able to download google maps eh? Solve everything. My wife is suffering with her S2, can't wait to upgrade her to this phone, just need a little better price than %199 lol.

If I were to share this with anyone on PS, it would have to be you. Check this article out, it's about 5G technology, called full-duplexing.
