BlackBerry Curve 8330
Blackberry Maps (or other maps) help please
I decided on buying this phone as a replacement to my unresolved issues with the KRZR K1m. I was not up for spending money on the off chance that a replacement phone I get would not have the poor battery life it got compared to the actual time it was supposed to get after having had 4 total phones with the same exact problem. But anyways to the point of this thread.

In several instances I recall reading that this included step by step voice directions as long as it wasn't one of the few 3rd party companies softwares that char...

I contacted sprint and they are telling me I have to subscribe to a data pack or get a simply everything plan. But then I supposedly can't access corporate e-mails (which I have no need of) or any Blackberry feature unless i also subscribe to an additional $20 data pack (which I read that is bull and the simply everything pack allows you to do everything the 8330 can do with it.
So this is why I'm...

No I don't have a data package but from my research reviews and such indicated that no data package was required. This is in conflict with what I'm being told by sprint in light of having the phone and trying to use those features of the phone. With previous phones I could access the web and pay a casual use fee of 2 or 3 cents per KB which worked fine because I used it for only directly visiting a page or direct transfer of a file from a link. Previous phone i had no GPS capability. So no experience with other brands of phones in that area.
