That’s right. The one thing we all feared with the launch of the RIM-made BlackBerry 8820 was that AT&T would have crippled the GPS module to work only with the pay-service, TeleNav. Rumors were circling the various internets regarding such GPS-crippling – and the prospect of having to pay to use a feature that was built-in drew a lot of flack.
It looks like AT&T has confirmed that the now-available BlackBerry 8820 will be packed with not only WiFi, but a fully functional GPS unit. That means all you CrackBerry fans can get your GPS navigation fix (pun intended) without having to pay “the man.”
So, if you’ve been waiting for more information on the BB 8820’s GPS feature before taking the plunge, consider yourself informed. Go out and snatch up that BlackBerry 8820 from AT&T today for $299.99 (with 2-year contract and rebates, of course)- and let us know how much you like having WiFi and GPS at your fingertips.
