BTW, I disabled data on my phone, so regardless if it tries to connect, it can't and I won't be charged. Just went to the States over the weekend and just downloaded the necessary maps onto the phone and was good to go!
Does it have full navigation? I always thought that Telus blocked third party GPS applications. I subscribe to Telus Navigator which is brutal. The maps are 10 years out of date, which can be real frustrating considering all the changes that have occured in the last 10 years. I feel like getting a Garmin or a TomTom, but I like the portability of GPS on my phone.
