When they do, it will be over on PhoneNews.com... even if I have to pull Senior VP teeth to get it out of them (just kidding Katie).
Either way, stay tuned.

I don't recall the link, but I was reading a thread on another board regarding the GPS chip in our phone that is capable of standalone GPS... however sprint requested it to be disabled and no one has figured out how to make it work other than getting some garbled information from a couple satalites..... anyways one of the posts was an email to UT starcom...... The rep said there was a GPS chip, they said how it is disabled was "proprietary (sorry i dunno how to spell it)" basically because sprint can't control it and therefor cannot charge for gps since it has standalone gps capability, which would function without having ANY kind of cellular service on the phone... another thing mentioned in the responding email was that there will NOT be future updates released by UT / Sprint for the 6700. The reason is the same reason they took the 6700 off the floors weeks ago... the next PPC is coming out = no more updates for 6700. Sucks... I know. So yes... we are stuck with relying on generous people that are able to do what we cannot to come up with ideas like the unified rom.
