14 DAY TRIAL // The BlackBerry Storm had a very good reception back in November, although the device didn't do so well afterwards. From what we've heard, the handset is about to come with a new feature, as it is reported to soon turn into the first phone to use VZ Navigator globally. All fanboys of the known GPS utility will have a reason to rejoice, as a global edition of VZ Navigator will become available on the BlackBerry Storm as well during the first quarter of the year.
The BlackBerry Storm is one of the few handsets included in Verizon’s offering to also be globally available, so the implementation of the popular GPS navigation software on it would make a lot of sense. Those willing to have VZ Navigator on their devices starting this quarter will have to pay around $20 per month for it.
According to the news, the service should be available in countries from both Europe and North America, including Canada, France, Italy, Mexico, Norway, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom in the first phase. In Q2, a second phase should proceed, and the VZ Navigator GPS utility will also come to Austria and Belgium, as well as to other countries.
The VZ Navigator, as many of you might already know, is basically a piece of GPS navigation software that is able to transform your mobile phone into a sort of handheld GPS unit. The utility uses a combination of GPS and cell tower tracking that allows it to find desired locations. It can always prove a great solution to get back on the road whenever you are lost or need directions.
At this time, these are the only details we can provide you with. We'll bring up the news as soon as more info becomes available, so stay tuned.
