At my old job I had a BB with TeleNav installed on it and it worked great. I just wouldn't pay for Nextel service for personal use since it costs way more than any other carrier.

(price based on available Buy-it-Now price on Ebay.com) The P3300 also has a GPS receiver built-in and is loaded with the TomTom Navigator software, and has a bunch of other really nice features. I'm actually thinking about buying it myself.
