Mogul Update - CES News

[Vacs]

Yeah, before I got the Motorola razr for me & my wife I researched the phones features. Based on what I found I signed up for 2 years & bought 2 of them. By the time I discovered that Verizon purposely disabled many features on the phone the trial period was over. And to my shame I spent $30.00 for their software which was nothing but a usb driver! Its almost like buying a car only to find out that the "left turn" feature is disabled (but of course you can buy that feature for $10 bucks a month).

Because of this it wouldn't surprise me at all if Verizon disabled the GPS so they could sell the VZ Navigator service. I guess I'll wait to see what happens. If I can get GPS on a Sprint 6800 then goodbye Verizon.

PS: I wonder about the legality of all this disabling of functions on these phones. Once purchased these things are totally the customers property. If a phone company takes any measures to interfere with the owners operation of their property, where this operation has no effect on the phone companies network, then this cannot be legal. (See some of the postings concerning GPS on the 6700.)
