Isn't that the same as the sprint touch? Looks like we'll have to wait until sprint "blesses" us with the ROM update to give us the functionality we should have already.....

theres obviously some glitch that hasnt been worked out with the s/w. the carriers are doing nothing but lose money by not having gps enabled in the devices.

i just hope it is sooner than later. you are probably right because Verizon would have no incentive to withhold it seeing that it could have had a leg up over sprint....

blah. i might by an external gps device too....any recommendations for cheap ones that work well and aren't too bulky?
