Re: File Complaint with FTC against Verizon for locking GPS on Omina (& other phones)
Are they legally in the right? That is the question. GPS is a free service, if you purchase a TomTom then you would expect to be able to access GPS. You don't have to pay a monthly subscription fee to access the satellite signals, which is exactly what VZW is doing. True the phones are Verizon branded, but we did purchase the phone. If we were say renting the phone from them then I could see them locking features (they still own the phone), but if you paid for your phone then it should come with all of the features that are advertised from the manufacturer.
Like Syrguy said there should be a ROM update from VZW and in any case there are already unlocked ROMs out there, so who cares about VZW's update!
