I did some research and the pre actually comes with telenav and google maps pre loaded, on the pre

About the hardware keyboard, your right, it is easier to use on the Tp or tp2. I just cannot stand how every time I click on a search bar or input field on any web browser on the tp, regardless if the keyboard is open or not, a retarded on screen keyboard pops up and says "DunDADun!!!"
-The pre does not even have an on screen keyboard, some see hardware input only as a bad thing, I see it as perfect because to use the keyboard you do not have to change orientation.

I am not sure about the plan, I pay $92 a month for two lines, unlimited data, 450 min, 600 texts. I use to have unlimited everything, but I looked at my actual usage and decided to save $30 a month rather than waste it.

p.s. wow, out of 16 people, we have no blackberry fans.
The telenav and google maps require a data connection... where I travel I don't have 3G. I need nav software w maps that are loaded on the device like garmin, tomtom, etc..

I have no problem w the pre not having a software keyboard... I just don't like the small size of the keys on that slide out keyboard.

I stopped in and talked to sprint today... turns out the TP2 requires the newer data plans just like the pre, blackberries and other smartphones. I may have to go buy a diamond in case my TP dies. Sounds like I can keep my ultra-cheap legacy plan with that phone.
