I have encountered a strange problem with my new Blackberry 8830 and Google Maps. I paired my 8830 with a GPS puck I already had from TeleNav, that I used on my old Blackberry 8703e. The...

No Go on Telenav

I called Telenav, and they stated quite firmly that they do not yet support the 8830, or at least Verizon's version thereof.

I have Google Maps installed on my 8830, BUT this does not give me the...

Vindicated but Humble!

Well, OK, I hear all of you. However, why then did RIM put 3G in the 8703e. And, why not put voice activated dialing in the 8703e.
As to moving on to a different PDA phone, pretty much all the rest...

Frustrated with the 8800 and RIM

Hello:

I am new to these forums, so pardon me if I start with a prickly posting.
