So I have current Verizon Blackberry Curve 8330, on which the GPS is so crippled that it mostly works only with VZ Navigator.
Any word on what they will do to the iPhone?

They did not do it to the storm or any of the droids, so why would they.
iPhone on AT&T doesn't use true GPS unless paid for as well. It uses aGPS which does not access satellites directly. So it uses cell towers and wifi hotspots to get info. So if you want true GPS like the Garmin app you will have to pay.
Nor would Apple allow such crippling of their hardware, as a previous poster mentioned.
even when I paid for Verizon Navigator on my Curve it would not work with any other application. It would not let the built in camera app geo-tag a picture. I could sometimes get Blackberry's map program to work but I had to constantly pull the battery to do it. The GPS on the Curve really only talked to Verizon Navigator.
Doesn't the iPhone have a GPS in it though? like not a super good one, but it still does. Enough that it can find your location without service, or WIFI.
cjvitek,
Can you post a link to your reviews? One quick question, any of them do walking directions? I mostly walk everywhere. (5 miles a day average).
