Maybe, but the Moto Q9c on Sprint has "open" GPS on it. You can use Google Maps, Live Search, etc. No hacking needed.

Back to the other issues in this thread...
BT is a finicky standard, but don't let HTC off the hook completely. I think Motorola devices have shown how to do BT right and lots of other devices do have better implementations.
My guess: HTC cheaps out on BT radios, like Palm used to do. Software solutions (i.e. Firmware/Roms) can only go so far to alleviate the repercussions of that choice.
Still, overall...this Sprint interaction with the community is *very good*. I've learned more about Sprint in the last few weeks than in 10 years, so I hope they continue this sharing of information and interaction.
