Look at what verizon said about xv6900 gps

[violentz313]

This is the exact email i recived from them on the questions of a gps unlock and the rev-a upgrade...... sounds like bs to me what o you think?

Thank you for contacting our Verizon Wireless website. We are happy to
assist you with your question with regards to the GPS receiver and the
REV A capability of your XV6900.

We sincerely apologize for the delayed response. Due to an extremely
high volume of customer email inquiries, the response time has been
longer than expected. Your handset's GPS chip is used to provide the
handset's location to emergency responders when placing 911 calls. It does not
provide any user accessible functionality such as location information
for directions, mapping or any other application.

At Verizon Wireless we value the security and privacy of our subscriber
data and user information and we have taken this into account in the
development of our location based services offerings. To alleviate
concerns regarding access to data by malicious applications and misuse of
location information, Verizon Wireless' location based services utilize a
solution that requires each location request to be authenticated and
accepted prior to a user's location being obtained through the network
and used by authorized applications.

Verizon Wireless is aggressively working to expand our suite of
location based services offerings in a way that does not compromise our
dedication to privacy and security yet offers value and flexibility to our
customers.

In regards to your second question, at this time, the XV6900 is the
only REV A capable PDA. We are unable to state if or when this feature
will be offered to our XV6900 users. We understand and apologize for any
frustration regarding this but we are only able to provide information
regarding products or services that we are currently offering. We are
unable to disclose any unconfirmed information because it would be
subject to change and could raise expectations that may not be met.

concerns. We sincerely hope that you feel we have done that today.
