Default Curve and Verizon

Please Login to Remove!

This is more of a carrier question but Im sure you guys can handle it.

Ive used BBs for a while now with t-mobile and ATT and love it. Im currently use ATT with my curve but my new job requires me to switch to verizon. I realize verizon has a lot of restrictions and a lot of the standard features will be different. So Im just wondering what changes I could expect. Will I still be able to use RIM and aftermarket software with verizon?

Edit: I donxxx8217;t want this to turn into a "lets bash verizon" thread. Im just inquiring about the major differences with the carriers using the same phone.

You need to use the VZNavigator for GPS. That's all I can think of...

Ya gps is the major thing you will lack on the Verizon model unless you pay $10/month for theirs.

There have been no important third party apps I couldn't use on my verizon curve.

Gos as said above. Blipsocial, a beta threaded sms prig, and a couple others are bot able to be used.
Gps is the main issue because any program that attempts to utilize the gps just fails. The ones I have tried have not caused any malfuunctions like reboots or freezing just fails to locate you.
Googlr Maps uses cellular triangulation instead of GPS, but it works sufficiently.
Hope that helps.
