OK I am a complete noob with this stuff. Got my Verizon 6850 about three days ago. I have no idea about GPS activation or whatever, I have always used external GPS, either bluetooth or wired, with my pdas and phones. I understand that the 6850 has the GPS internal but I can't seem to make it work right. I followed the above steps exactly (and the PPST rebooted the device) and still have no access to the gps info when using googlemaps or any other GPS program. After clicking "USE GPS" from the Menu, a blue box shows up in the upper right hand corner and says Seeking GPS Satellites and then stays there forever. ANybody have any idea of what I am doing wrong and how to fix it.

Thanks
