The new version of Google Maps finally shows your current location on the map.  This works without GPS functionality just like magic!  I'd avoid the whole Google Installer suite because I have seen computability problems here on our enterprise network but you can download each app individually depending on what you need.

Don't forget Magmic free games like Texas Hold Em Poker, Spider Solitaire, and Bass Fishing... yay video fishing!

Oh!  If you travel a lot:
moblie flightstats
mobile seatguru

my best tip, run over it, destroy it, and move on with your life

also, to not become a crack-addict:
You can set the device to turn itself off and turn back on a certain times of the day/weekend.
For example, you can "force" the device to turn itself off at 8pm and back on a 7am...you can even use differnt times for the weekend.

Do you need to be on the enterprise server or have windows mobile to use the google apps?

Nope the Google apps work with the stock blackberry.  If you modify the exhaust you need a BlackBerry PCIII.

Okay, so I just talked with two different ATT reps. One said that GPS usage is covered in my unlimited data plan. One said that there is a separate GPS plan for $10/month.

What do you folks get charged?
