  So, I took the data package off my account, and bought a shitty flip phone trying to be rouge. Well, my fucken wife puts her sim card in my iphone, and says all the internet/gps stuff works if you're in a wi-fi zone. Then she starts sporting that shit, while my fucken business is dying with me carrying this bullshit flip phone around. GPS/notes/voice recording/pictures to computer are what I just...fucking use. Flip phone sucks cock.

  Anyway, I checked my wife, and now I'm using the iphone with pop-ups for the time being, no data package, just cruising wi-fi spots. I think I will either buy a flawless working used iphone from this guys garage, or I'll drop duckets and get the Motorola Backflip. Unsure.

So your phone is going into airplane mode?

no, it's just asking me every 10 seconds if I want it to, and I have to press no.

Picked up a Motorola Backflip today to replace the I-shit. Still figuring out the features and navigation, but it's not made by Apple, so Johnny STILL PAYS!!

From Apple to Android...you'll either love it or hate it.

Get Google Maps from the marketplace, has the built in navigation and such.

lol the google maps on my BB is useful for the maps but the "my location" is a joke. im sure it works better on other phones though. it narrows down my location within 5000 meters, i could randomly guess where i am and do better then that.

Does your Blackberry have GPS and is it on?  I'm betting $432.11 that your phone does not have the GPS hardware and thus is triangulating your position by sending signals to any surrounding cellphone towers, and calculating your location based on how long it takes to get a response...  Of course it's not accurate, there's too many things that can screw it up.

Don't blame Google Maps, "My Location" works perfectly on a phone with GPS   I can use mine in a majority of homes/buildings and it's accurate as fuck.  If your GPS is off/doesn't exist, then it goes by the cell towers.

True, but most HTC phones have Sense.  There are fewer Android phones that are "real" Android than ones that aren't.  They will all run any app for their version though.
