Is there a no-cost or low-cost (freeware perhaps?) USA GPS tracking
solution for the Blackberry 8700c with a pay as you go SIM card?

Desired use model:
- Install AT&T or T-Mobile PayAsYouGo SIM card into spare unlocked
Blackberry 8700c
- Install low-cost or no-cost GPS/Cell-triangulation software into
Blackberry 8700c
- Track location of Blackberry 8700c from a second Blackberry or from the
web

Does a low-cost or no-cost tracking solution exist yet?
If not, what's the closest viable alternative (given a spare unlocked
Blackberry 8700c)?

TIA,
Jim

ps: I'm not sure if the blackberry 8700c has gps (how can you tell?) so
maybe cell triangulation would work???

I think all Blackberrys from AT&T have GPS built in, don't they?

Nope. Not the Blackberry 8700c.
But it can still use the cell tower for software triangulation.

Here is the list of Blackberrys that do support GPS

Any programs out there to make a pay-as-you-go Blackberry 8700c a covert
tracking device?

The app to use is probably Google's Latitude.
