Yes a lot of these take registry work and I inderstand being hesitant, it took me a LONG time before I attempted my first one. When your ready, we can direct you to a couple good reg editors (a couple free) and advise on doing changes (always backup before is the biggie)!!!!!
But a lot of the tweaks are being zipped for easy use by members like Adrynalyne!! All you do is drop the file anywhere on your device (unzipped of course) and click on it and your done (I still suggest a backup before though)!!!!

THe reason GoogleMaps won't work yet is that VZW has locked the GPS down on all their new devices to only allow their (VZNav) GPS utility to be able to access GPS.
The good news on this is that because of MANY complaints, a law suit, and other circumstances, VZW has relented and promised to release GPS in the first quarter of 2009!!
