Thumbs down Unlock GPS on Verizon Mi-fi?

I was just reading a comparison of the Sprint and Verizon Mi-fis at Boy Genius Report, and the reviewer suggested that the two devices are actually identical, although Verizon hasn't enabled GPS.

I'm curious if anyone has seen any efforts to unlock GPS on this device. (I don't actually have the device, just curious.)

I think it's so dumb (and typical) that Verizon is still locking up features on devices. As a Touch Pro owner, it still annoys me to think how they kept that device locked for almost six months before their change of heart. Thank God for the geniuses here whose efforts bridged the gap.

Re: Unlock GPS on Verizon Mi-fi?

Has anyone been able to confirm that the Verizon MiFi has been crippled (no GPS)?

Re: Unlock GPS on Verizon Mi-fi?

I have just purchased the Verizon Mi-Fi for use with my iTouch, and I can confirm -- the GPS is definitely crippled. I echo Kalnel's request -- has anyone found a way yet to unlock the GPS feature?
