Yup, tomorrow's the day.
Nice Job ATT. What's next!
I love how for the longest time as verizon has been selling it's VZnavigator, all the people on ATT were yelling about how could verizon charge for such things, and that ATT would never go to locking GPS down unless you use their service.
well here ya go.
it will eventually extend to their smartphones, and they would be ignorant to not do it.
verizon makes a good chunk of change form VZnavigator, and ATT knows it. they aren't the biggest carrier in the country for no reason, they know what works and what doesn't.
AT&T does not lock down their GPS. I've been using TomTom 6 and Google Maps (w/GPS) since I've had the device.
No one's locking anything down. I'm sorry to leave you all alone in your restricted world "VZWguy" but all they did was take an optional service that is available on several phones and rebrand it as their own.
Better luck next time though.
Yeah VZW fanboy (almost didn't think they could exist!), ATT has never LOCKED down ANY of their phones' GPS capabilities. Nice life, ass.
Not to pile on but AT&T Nav is already on smart phones. The Tilt is capible of running Telenav and it's GPS is not locked down like oh say the BlackBerry 8830.
this is true and by the way the Z9 arrived in stores today
LOL what's next, AT&T rebrands Cellular Video in A-CAST??
actually it was originally called Cingular Video...so you're about 2 years late
@Will
I know it was called cingular video before AT&T took over, it was just a joke.
Did i miss the post that said Verizon follows in Sprint's footsteps and re-brands navigation? Seeing as they were the first carrier to do so.
no, vznav was around before sprint navigation. sprint had navigation services longer than vzw, but telenav wasnt rebranded until later
Nice! I've been waiting for the Z9. And, lucky me, my contract on my Sync ends on the 4th!
Meh..might wanna wait another 1-2 months for the Vu/iP2/Z750
