This is not really new, My 8830 on Bell here in Canada has had the GPS crippled since march of 2008. I have to have the run the “GPS Nav” before I can use anything else. Friends on telus with 8830′s have no problem using the GPS.

When I signed up with VZW, I asked if anything was disabled, and was told “No.” Think I’ll ever trust VZW again? No!

This is typical… they did the same thing with their internet. Throttled their P2P speed, then released their own online video download service. This really should be looked at by the government.

This is the MOST obnoxious thing about my 8830 with Verizon. I WILL NOT succomb to this nickel and dime tactic. The baiting of GPS in the phone description was a nice lure, but didn’t find out about this caniving issue until I got Viigo! You get ignorant hems and haws when asking a Verizon store rep why this would happen. They don’t have any idea what your talking about. I say we have all deny them of this and refuse their lowly Carrier supplied GPS services. Get with it Verizon. Open sourcing is the way!
