By entering the APN wap.voicestream.com and resending the generic TMo service books, some apps even started to work (like MilkSync, IM+ Lite, BB Maps, but not OMini, etc.) I am very satisfied with the phone and so far it's doing a great job for me without the additional $30 per month.

So to the OP, he can try switching to T-Mobile and it will work, at least it did for me.
I don't know how you are using blackberry maps given your description; maybe a third-party mapping and navigation application, but not the blackberry/RIM mapping application. But I've never personally tried with a blackberry that didn't have a blackberry data plan.

Have you been billed yet since you have been using the TCP/IP APN data?
