Re: 12/25/08 Verizon GPS Fix v2.0
Former...Well written, I learned something.
Prior to reading this I just got off the phone with Verizon (I had a trouble ticket and they actually called back). Anyway, during the conversation I asked since BB had unlocked GPS when would the TP get it...Reply "NEVER...because the TP isn't strong enough to carry or hold the signal". They informed me that VZNav is not 'TRUE' GPS that it calculates by towers and will not truly work without assistance if you get into an 'Extended Network'. But the fact of matter that the TP will never be able to be used with anything other than VZNav, will never change. And of course it was discretely put that VZW wants that extra $10 a month. Oh yes, and all this being told to me as I was staring at my phone with GPSTool running and seeing 8-9 satelites.
CONGRATS BORED...
