Re: File Complaint with FTC against Verizon for locking GPS on Omina (& other phones)
I do feel for the people that are upset about the GPS lock, but as stated above, it is legal and I am not really sure the OP will result in anything substantial. It is kinds like arguing that Burger King is broiling the patty you want fried....you know what your getting from them when you walk in. Just because AT&T has open GPS doesn't mean VZW will.

All that aside though, this is also either currently or will soon be a moot point for most. VZW has already promised to unlock the GPS in the first half of 2009 (we'll see, should be soon if they do it), but even if they don't, there are ROM chefs out there that are already releasing fully operational GPS ROMs (like my Omnia running WM6.5 and has GPS working).

Good luck, and I would never discourage anyone from speaking out on what they think is right, but I really think it won't amount to much.
