*Yawn.* But ONLY if you're connected by wifi. EVDO pretty much makes the wifi issue irrelevant.

The bad thing with VZW Curve is that GPS is locked down, so you won't be able to use any of the GPS applications for BB except VZNavigator. You are limited. Also, the VZW Curve has worse battery life due to CDMA and 3G. My friend has one, and with similar usage his has half the life mine does.
Yes, yes. Verizon evil, lock down GPS. But GPS apps still work if they support an external BT GPS puck, like the Globalsat BT338 I have.

Oh, and regarding the "worse battery life," see what happens on your beloved AT&T Curve when you leave the wifi on 24 hours a day. With Verizon and EVDO, you're getting very close to broadband speeds wherever you are, all the time, and I guarantee the battery will last one helluva lot longer on the CDMA Curve than the AT&T GSM Curve with wifi enabled.
