Since its aGPS, I'm not really too miffed about VerizonWireless limiting its use, since aGPS uses their database and SMS system and coordination (my device doesn't have native GPS).

But VerizonWireless seems to have gone out of its way to disable native GPS on some of its Blackberry devices -- and that's despicable.

I just checked T-Mobile today as I looked over their 8820. Lady said to get GPS to work, it would be $10 a month.I have T-Mobile, and GPS (actually aGPS as implemented on mobile phones) works just fine on my (currently carrier-locked) TM506 without any $10/mo charge, which is probably for subscription to TeleNav, whose GPS mapping application T-Mobile preloads on many of its phones.

If you are content with just getting your coordinates using GPS, there's absolutely no charge for that. OTOH, if you need maps to go with it, you'll need to do one of the following: (1) subscribe to a data plan to download maps on the fly (there are free GPS apps that use maps from Google, Yahoo, etc), or (2) pay TeleNav, or (3) write your own app that can read stored maps on flash media etc.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Oh-great-21170413 Thu, 25 Sep 2008 23:59:14 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Oh-great-21168334 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Oh-great-21168334 Thu, 25 Sep 2008 16:39:05 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Oh-great-21168216 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Oh-great-21168216 Thu, 25 Sep 2008 16:16:49 EDT
