Yes, I wonder why they didn't build some kind of program to figure out where the phone is based on the local towers. You would figure with VZW's coverage this is the way they would have preferred to go. I guess extra work like that doesn't really fit into the Verizon business mold though....especially when they lock down stock features like this to begin with...

Too bad they couldn't have utilized both and used triangulation until a firm GPS lock was aquired. That would have been sweet.
