I was in a local vz store not too long ago. I had gotten to know the manager who is a great guy when he came in where I work a few times & I just stopped in to say hi. We have all our 32 business phones with vz after dumping sprint a while back.

While I was there, a young girl was looking at a 6800 & I overheard her asking about the gps capability. She obviously didn't want to pay for it as she had already said that even the unlimited data package was stretching her budget. She had also recently dumped sprint because of the horrible service, but vz does cost more than sprint so she was trying to get out as cheaply as possible.

When she balked at $10 a month for vz nav the manager kinda winked at me & told her "I didn't tell you this, but the guy standing over to your left might be able to help you out with that...."

I explained to her about unlocking/flashing etc & how it could void the warranty etc etc but she was quite excited and asked me if I could "help her out".

To make a long story a little shorter, she bought the phone & then followed me to where I work & waited while I flashed her phone to dcd 3.2.6 & then installed google maps. The manager also had me take a refurb phone with me & flash it for one of his employees.
