Can someone help clarify to me, if I buy a 8800 for Tmobile, that I am not going to have GPS built in and available?

As far as I know, Verizon is the only carrier which doesn't offer GPS on the 8800 series

The BB implementation of GPS is superior to Nokia's, and I'm talking from experience. My N95 would take forever to lock in and update my position. Happens with the Blackberry in less than 1/2 that amount of time.

it was bad. The original firmware could take a minute or two to lock on. The newest firmware is much better, but still slower then the GPS on the blackberry.
