The Blackberry Tour has the GPS unlocked. They say that the Blackberry Curve should have the GPS unlocked by the end of the year. I am not sure if the Storm II will have it unlocked or not. It is the touch screen like the iPhone. Most of the smart phones do things similar to the iPhone. You can download applications so that it can do other things that you want it to do as well. They are sort of like small hand held computers that make phone calls too. But they do require the additional $30 a month data package. My brother-in-law has the new Samsung smart phone. I forget what it is called at the moment. It has the Windows operating system. There are a ton of aps that he can get for free to customize it. I've only had my Blackberry for a couple of weeks. I'm thinking of downloading Oregon Trail for it.
