is there gps capability with it?

Yes, there is a GPS built in, and it will also use cell towers to try to triangulate your position as close as possible, if it cant see any satellites. Furthermore, you dont need to pay for the VZNavigator package at all - a shock to MANY, because Verizon likes to get people by the balls with that. My Curve 8330 wouldnt even let you use the BUILT IN GPS unless you paid for that...

You actually want that Verizon nav crap? It uses Google for directions dude - I'll take that over Verizon ANY day haha.

You're going to find the lack of mobility as far as CDMA/GSM common in almost all Verizon phones. Do you really travel that much that you go to other countries with the old network?

Oh yeah, and some people are getting it for $100 through Verizon if they're a customer already. You can get it for $150 as a new customer through Sears.com.

Yarp. I'd do that. Not going to get much cheaper, if at all.
