And then there are those of us with Blackberrys from Verizon. This company decided to deactivate the GPS chipset in my BBery 8830 so that I cannot use third party navigation software. I need to pay $10 a month for their navigation service.
Another of those unwelcome surprises from Verizon. :-( Interestingly, with the Droid, Google required Verizon to agree NOT to lock up the GPS, but then with Droid if you don't have service you don't have maps. The singular reason to use Verizon is their network, other than that they totally suck. I'm getting close to going with a iPhone, despite ATT's truly lousy network, and keeping a small basic phone on Verizon as back-up for when I really need to be able to use the damn phone.
