Yes but this talks about using the Telus PDE server instead of the VZW PDE server. Actually it looks like the VZW PDE is back up now. Not sure how long it will last though.

I dont think this addresses your issue with the PRI. The PRI you are running is the VZW locked down PRI. Only VZ Navigator will run natively with this PRI. The Valhalla cab over at XDA by Skywing fixes this issue, but only allows apps that do not use the COM port directly, like Google Maps, to operate.

If you want to get back to basics and use the GPS without being restricted by VZW then you need to jump through a few hoops, of which I can you with that.
