At&t JUST got theirs. Where's the negative comment for them? Oh wait, you don't do that against them, only VZW. 😛

You need to catch up or take notes I have had all those features since last year using Garmin XT. I don't pay extra for a "NAV Plan" and it includes Voice, POI, traffic, weather, movie start times.

When Verizon allows you to load GArmon or Tom Tom on a phone that has a REAL GPS SAT chip that does not need to be "INI Network" to work...... let me know....

Do we know a specific date for when the update will arrive?

Not that I can remember. Some people think it's tomorrow for some reason. 😕

What I DO know, however, is that phase 2 users will receive a message of the day from vznav saying it's time to upgrade the app.

VZNav phase 4 for advanced devices will launch at a later date.

From your training, is blackberry going to be among the advanced devices to get phase 4? They haven't even gotten phase 2.

They've gotten phase 2. The 8830 & Pearl are both VZNAV capable, it just requires a software update.

After the software update was released, the newer phones were nav ready right out of the box.

You can get the update from verizon's website or from blackberry itself.

Current trend points to the Curve being supported. The MOTQ9C coming out will have Nav as well.

Phase 2? Phase 2 is the one that can sync with the web and do place messages? I have the original VZ Nav for my Pearl, but Phase 2 isn't available for it yet. That link you provided is not for VZ Nav phase 2, it's for the latest handheld version of blackberry o/s.

Sorry I wasn't clear before. I posted that link because the Black Berries require the latest software to be Nav ready. You are correct about phase 2. All I know is that phase 4 for advanced devices will launch at a later date.

does advanced devices mean all smartphones including blackberries or just windows mobile devices?

I understand. Why else would people pay Verizon for everything and suffer old "new" phones?

Pay for convenience. You should know this. Americans don't care and are lazy. They want everything spoon fed to them and will pay a premium for that.

Yeah, that's the problem these days. No accountability. No one accepts any responsibility. Everyone wants things given to them but when things go wrong, they blast the people that help them out.

Only a few hours left in April. Is this going to happen this month? I just checked my phone for the update, but I received a message indicating I already have the most up to date version of VZ Navigator.

It launched this morning. You have to go into get it now and go under top sellers and download the update. If it isn't there you have to remove VZnavigator and download it again. There are 1 or 2 phones that won't have it till next week (most notably the ENV2)

btw 3d views are awesome
