Gulp.... This a leap of faith for me, as I have been using Windows Mobile for longer than I care to remember

Anyway, my contract was up on my HTC HD2 about 2 months ago, and finally taken the plunge. Gill's got a Samsung Galaxy S2 which always looked very easy to use, so I've gone for a Samsung Galaxy Note, which is basically the same but with a huge screen!

One thing the HTC had was TomTom, so now I am looking for a SatNav app. Free would be good, although happy to pay a reasonable amount to get something usable. Did I read on here recently that you can download Google Maps and use that, but without a connection to the Internet (using just GPS)? I don't want to use ££££'s of data!

Also, can't seem to find out how much Voicemail pick up is going to cost. I know on the previous phone with T-Mobile this was the only thing that ever cost over and above the contract, and was 35p a go, so keen to ensure that if it also costs with Orange, I switch it off!
