I was able to get the unlock code from ATT for my phone, I was hoping that was the only road block but I have a feeling that there may be more things to do. Can I get BB MAPs or is it impossible on ATT BB8800. Thanks in advance for any feedback.

You'll need to unlock BBMaps on AT&T devices. AT&T programatically hides the icon for BBMaps. It can be unhidden with a little bit of computer work. To do it you need to install Desktop Manager to your computer and then install the OS package to your computer as well. Then you have to modify the LBS.alx file on the computer and then plug the BB in and run Desktop Manager and Application Loader. A modified LBS.alx can be found in the thread below:

There are some other threads about how to get BBMaps back. A search for LBS.alx will yield lots of results.
