I just heard some rumors about the TopoExplorer GPS application which is still in beta test on its website. This seems just to be "officially" because I downloaded it and the beta is expired already. So I was diggin a bit more on the web and found out that the final version will be released soon.

I could gather the following (unconfirmed) details:

TopoExplorer for BlackBerry will be available as free download
It comes with a free set of map packs
Additional more detailed map packs can purchased
Additional map pack coverage for the first tier will be: California and Florida
Map packs for the US will have a scale of 1:24,000 (or 7.5 minute)
Map packs can be installed on the sd card
TopoExplorer does not need any internet connection for map navigation
Additional map packs can be purchased as "download" or "dvd pack"
TopoExplorer works with internal / buit-in GPS or external / Bluetooth GPS
