With that said TalkPlus does bring some new features to your BlackBerry that may justify the $9.99/month price tag.

The software just has you punch in your location (via postal/zip code or lat/long) and it will show you a [...]

Simon at BBcool just tipped me off to a new Facebook application that will be coming out for BlackBerry devices. This is an application designed by RIM so it should integrate nicely with your BlackBerry. It seems that RIM is really serious about penetrating the consumer market.

I just got a tip from BBworld about a new GPS application for BlackBerry devices called Nav4All. This new offering like Telenav and InfoSpace has talking directions but compared to other GPS applications there are way to many menu steps to get it to work.
