A blind person would not be able to use many or all of those "advertised features".
So why would verizon be forced to make the GPS available to blind people, but not the other stuff?
If your argument is indeed true, then if they cannot make these other features available to the blind (how would you make video messaging available to a blind person?) then they might just have to remove these other "features" from our phones so they would be fair and in compliance with your interpretation of the FCC code.
Not trying to be negative, just trying to think this through. What are your thoughts?

These are completely invalid points. Why would a blind person care about a flashlight?
You're talking what they CAN'T use vs. what they COULD use. They certainly COULD use a working GPS system. Verizon could most CERTAINLY make it available to blind persons, by unlocking the chipset for use. If you're on an unlimited data plan, who cares if its TomTom, GoogleMaps or VZW Navigator running the chipset?
Oh, that's right. VZW does, because they want to gorp you for yet another monthly fee. No thanks, I'm already paying $140/month for all of our phones, and I've been on for three years.
