GPS is only locked on the Verizon model. I have been with Verizon for a very long time, but they have lost me as a customer due to their habit of crippling just about every darn smart device they have. If you want your moneys worth and a fully functioning device, DONT GO VERIZON.
The Treo 650 was the straw that broke the camels back with me. Late on every update by several months, and crippled the hell out of it. My friend had a 650 at the same time, and I was jealous of the features he had, that I didn't purely because I was on VZW. I payed more for the device, and got less features, which is a COMPLETE rip off. So, I dumped that crappy carrier and switched to T-Mobile and I could not be happier. The rates are cheaper. The data plans are cheaper. The unlimited text messaging is way cheaper. Overall VZW is a ripoff, not only in your crippled devices, but the price of service.
