A Samsung sales rep was in town the other day and I asked him directly if there was going to be an update that would unlock the GPS on the Omnia. His answer to me: The Omnia can only use Assisted GPS and there is no way to make it stand alone. We talked at length about this and he told me he would contact one of the developers that works on the Omnia project. When he emailed me a couple days ago, The answer was the same. It is set up so that GPS on the device is Designed to be Assisted only and that there is no way to make the device use GPS in stand alone mode. Now this may or may not be true and some may choose not to believe me about what was said, All I will say is that I have a lot of time "invested" in VzW and I don't think Eshan was lieing to me when he said that.
