When you get rid of VZ Navigator, can you use Google Maps or any of the Google Mobile apps? I was told by Verizon technical support that I would be able to use 3rd party GPS software on the Blackberry Storm ONLY. I just wanted to confirm that was fully correct. Thanks.
I think the phone is actually yours. You pay for it, they sell it to you at a discount. You put their service on your phone. My question is, can they pull the GPS gimick they are trying: disabling GPS on your Verizon phone until you pay them $10/month to use the useless VZ Navigator. The GPS chip on your phone could be used with Google Maps for free or a third party such as Garmin (mobile for blackberry). It seems shady that in order to use either of those two services, you have to pay Verizon $10/month. It seems to me, as a non-lawyer, to be totally illegal. You are being charged to a service that they don't provide or at the very least, being billed twice (you pay for the data plan (no problem with that) and the VZ Navigator).
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I've found myself using my PC for a lot of conversations lately, and I'm also considering recording a podcast to share with anyone who will listen. There are tons of USB headset / microphones out there, and I'm hoping someone has some solid recommendations based on experience. I'll consider both headsets and standalone mics, by the way, but I'd like to keep the bill under $100 if possible. Help!"
