Oct 21st 2008 1:38PM I don't beleive you are forced to use navigator, however the test unit likely has all options enabled for eval purposes.

Verizon is however in the process of "opening" their network. If a device or app is compatible with their network they can use it. The key is how they define compatible.

To me, this would seem to insinuate that if a device has GPS, and happens to use another app, that will be OK in the future. However for now, vz navigator is likely the only option on verizon's in-house marketed phones. After they open up however we should be able to use vanilla firmware, and service books (on bb's) and use gps with bb maps, after having vz re-enable your phone for a few bucks on your current plan.

hope that helps.

Aug 26th 2007 9:29PM Won't it be too late by 2012? I mean, discovery channel said that's when the world is gonna end according to the mayans, and a buncha other psychics. And if the discovery channels says so, I believe it. That channel is all about hard science. Besides John Hutchison can make batteries from dirt, and crushed up rocks, which I also saw on the discovery, so this is a moot point.
