Re: Any hope of GPS unlock for Verizon Omnia?

Reminds me of the Motorola v710 Class Action Lawsuit back in 2005 where VZW disabled the File share capabilities of the bluetooth but had it advertised on their site. They stated that they had disabled the Bluetooth file-transfer capability because it conflicted with contractual agreements it has with content providers participating in its "Get It Now" application download service offered with the v710. Basically VZW settled the case and provided credits up $25 dollars for users who purchased the phone before January 25, 2005 and would not charge them a ETF <--- Early termination fee ---> if they wanted to cancel for POOR Service!
Wonder what the outcome will be for something like the Omnia... Seeing the VZW site states nothing about the built in GPS... Only refers to the ability to use VZNavigator for a fee.
No worries though. If VZW does not unlock the GPS, it will be unlocked by some witty programmer. Just wait until VZW does a ROM update...
