  1. I have Sprint for service on my BB Curve, they allow GeoNavigator which is really nice. They internal gps on the good, but for hard finds I still use the Garmin. A new free app is Blackstar. It is simular to Cacheberry. They both require downloads from the Geocaching.com. Verizon locks out the internal gps so if you have them, your BB will be no more than a pda unless you invest in a bluetooth gps. Goodluck.
  2. My wife and I are newbees. We started with my nextel i580 with yhe built in gps. I did not understand the cord formats, (still don't). We quickly moved to a nuvi 200w. that was better, now we have a legend hx that works really well. But what I like best is the Trimble® Geocache Navigator™ for my phone. You can buy by the month or year. I can read the cache description, hints and logs while in the feild. I can find caches sites near to me with a "computer". It take my nextel really close to the site. Consider the Trimble® Geocache Navigator™ before giving up. I'm in central west Fl and we are covered with caches here. It does require web access on your phone but its worth it. Happy caching
  3. I I have gps service on my nextel i580, while driving, even though it is slow, it seemed to be accurate. We started using it geocaching. My i580 was about 200 yards off. We quickly made a dash to our local mega discount retailer and purchased a Garmin nuvi 205w. Battery life is about 3-4hrs, and it is follows you very quickly. Most important it seems to be accurate. It has 3 modes, 1 automobile, 2. bicycle, 3. pedestian. I found a little program called EasyGPS on the geocaching web site where I can download several different caches review them and send them to my favorites on my gps.
