So I recently activated the VZNavigator service on my (old) Verizon Blackberry 8830 device, figuring I'd give it a try.
So now it's just a matter of finding out where to download the app from. Simple, right?
Not so. The instructions at Verizon's site at vznavigator.com show that you should be able to visit a pre-saved bookmark on your Blackberry's browser (the vzstart home page, basically), which is great if you have a brand-new Blackberry from Verizon.
But if you've happened to wipe/upgrade or otherwise blow away your Blackberry over the months, then it's very possible (indeed, likely) that the pre-populated bookmarks that Verizon provides will also be blown away.
Sure enough, I have no such bookmark in my Blackberry's browser.
So I had to do a little searching, but thanks to the kind folks at the crackberry.com forums, the actual URL to get to the VZNavigator software is here:
http://solutions.vzwshop.com/vzstart/bb/
Would it have been so damn hard for Verizon to put this URL up at their vznavigator site?
So there's the shortcut, hopefully this will save someone else some search time.
