to get the maps to work, yes. gps is a seperate service however and the transmitter will work without the internet. You will not be able to get any sort of graphical interpretation though.

it depends how will you use it?
GPS itself is free, you just need to have an internet plan to see the maps. if you want turn by turn voice directions you need to pay for GPS

*laffin*, dude, you WILL pay for GPS, in some form or fashion. data plan, or the GPS service itself, and/or both.

now we know you dont want to pay for GPS, are you WILLING to?

Compare Phones (Phone Scoop)


there is a comparison of 8310, 8320, and 8820. Keep in mind the 8320 is Tmobile at this time.
