How accurate is GPS on the curve? I was playing with my wife’s yesterday, but only holding it by the window because it’s damn cold outside. Google maps was accurate within 2.4 kilometers. Does it get better?

I had another question, but I forgot what it was. Hmm.

damn howie,

thanks for the report on BB’s. it sounds like the curve will likely be what i eventually go for, especially considering all the bells and whistles like gps and media etc aren’t necessary for me.

ill try and read some reviews and figure out if sprint or vzn is better for me, and try and determine which of the curve revisions is also best :tup:

thanks a lot. im assuming crackberry is the quintessential forum for all this tomfoolery?

Yea bro, they unlocked the gps with a new software update. it only works with BBmaps for now, but its fuckin sweet. accurate within a few feet, driving directions, etc, etc.

Crackberry is the source for updates, news, user / consumer questions and issues.

Blackberry forums I find is a lot better for enterprise questions.

Yes.

Unless your photos were stored on your memory card. Then… they won’t move them over.

I went through every check-box and didn’t see any option for this garbage. :gotme:

I was hoping that crack program would have the option of taking it out. ☹
