I was told it would work at no cost only would cost if I selected one of All-Tell's software packs. So, they lied and I do have 30 days to take this phone back. The suck part is I like the phone. So does this mean that spint does not charge for the external GPS postioning.

I have Alltel and the HTC 6900 and you don't have to pay for the GPS to be on. Just make sure you have flashed the new rom and then you have to do the hacks that are in the other postings. Just search for the GPS Alltel and it will tell you how. I do suggest that you get the Sprint Backup and install before you start as it will give you something to go back to if you don't do it right. You won't hurt your phone if you have the back up to save your work that is on the phone now. If you don't care about the data or programs or any other thing you have done on the phone since you got it all you have to do is Hard Reset if you do it wrong and it will go back to the default as it came from the factory. It really isn't that hard. Good luck and it does work with Google map but I have had to prime it first with GPS Viewer.
