Let's step back and think about it.

WM6 is new, and we tend to forget that the Mogul was the 1st WM6 Pro(Pocket PC) Phone that is CDMA and has aGPS. No other carrier has the aGPS activated yet on their WM6 Pro(Pocket PC) CDMA devices because the interactions between the aGPS and software are not stable enough. We whine about the Bluetooth issue legitly, but just think how much you would whine if the aGPS were activated for personal(as in non-e911) usage like Sprint Navigator/Telenav and had serious conflict issues with other parts of the phone?

Well, think of it this way as well. It does Sprint no good to not have aGPS activated on a phone that they no doubt would make a good bit of money off of from Sprint Navigator usage. It's just the OS/Hardware conflict issues that WM6 seems to have with the CDMA infrastructure and specifically the Qualcomm CPU in the Mogul. HTC and Sprint are working to fix the conflict issues that WM6 seems to have with aGPS, Rev. A, and Bluetooth and I have confidence that these will be taken care of.

Bottom Line: Blame Microsoft for not making it so that WM6 plays nice with advanced features on phones out of the gate. Sprint and HTC and Qualcomm dislike it every bit as we all do. Makes me think of Vista for some reason......
