Oops..they just took it off the site, I wonder if it was a mistake or if it will reappear again later. Figures..I waited 2 minutes too long to pre-order.
Seems if you have an account with a business discount you can't pre-order it. As soon as you login and try to add a line the tour disappears from the site. If you don't login you can order. The link on the pre-order site that says "purchasing for your business' also brings you to a new page without a pre-order option so I guess it is right. I will try calling them in awhile.
The Blackberry.com website says it will work with Blackberry Maps. Hopefully free. I finally got free GPS on my 8830 after upgrading to 4.5. Don't want to lose it again. Although I don't use that much anyway, it's nice to have.

I believe they're referring to GPS being locked down as it was on previous models.

My account rep says that the GPS issue is dead and in the past. VZW took a lot of heat about it from customers and he also heard they got a lot of heat from RIM to open it up because RIM touts the GPS as an available feature.

Other than Maps it is limited to VZW navigator
