BlackBerry Storm to support Global VZ Navigator in Q1?

While Verizon Wireless isn't exactly following hot on the heels of AT&T with its purported Global VZ Navigator, phoneArena has it that the carrier's BlackBerry Storm will become VZW's first handset to support the software later this quarter. Not that such news is a big shock given the worldly capabilities of this here smartphone, but it's still good news for globetrotters who'd rather not carry a dedicated PND. We're told that the service will go for $20 per month, with Mexico, Canada, France, Italy, Norway, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom being supported right out of the gate.

How about we get VZW to have full google maps (with real GPS) support for the Storm?

And save the $20.00 per month.

VZW and RIM have opened the GPS capabilities for BlackBerry Maps. It isn't as good as Google Maps, but the ability to pinpoint a location without spending a penney makes BlackBerry Maps a lot more appealing now.
