This is one of the main reasons why I left verizon. They nickel & dime you for everything. GPS is useful, but will I use it everyday? no... but maybe that 1 or 2 times a month i want to use it i don't want to pay 9.99/month for it. When will everything just be considered data and be bundled in with the data plan....
I recently got the iPhone and I can use whatever apps i want and its all just using data from my unlimited data plan... nice and simple.
Why does verizon always have to complicate things...
VZW doesn't nickel and dime, they simply make customers pay for service. If you look at your Iphohe plan and compare it to a similar plan @ VZW, you will notice that you are paying $40 more for the exact same thing. So yes, VZW charges for GPS. You don't like it? Don't use it. At least on VZW I know that all my calls go through, I don't drop, I have the fastest mobile data speed available in the US (I have tested them all) and I know that I have optional services available if I WANT to use them. Oh yes, sending and receiving pix/vid msgs and OTA song downloads are great too... Along w/ removable memory and battery, my Omnia puts an Iphone to shame everytime, even w/ the GPS locked.
“The other one is a biggie, and it's something very noticeable in the videos: touch sensitivity is pretty bad. Using the virtual keyboard proved to be far too painful, and we're pretty sure it wasn't multitouch-friendly.”
