More specifically, VZW tweaked the firmware to block anything but VZ Navigator and E911 from accessing the built-in GPS. Bastards. But! For the 8830, at least, a recent firmware update *finally* un-did that. 8830AMEA_PBr4_1_.5.0_rel205_PL3.4.0.30_A4.5.0.138_Verizon_Wireless.EXE Released 21 April 2009 Version 4.5.0.138 (platform 3.4.0.30) I hate Verizon with a passion, but people higher up than me decreed Thou Shalt Use Them, so I have to make the best of it. And I'll grudgingly admit, they do have the best overall coverage in the US. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
