No, it's not. The 8830 was not advertised as having GPS navigation capabilities.

They don't charge anything for GPS, since it's not available on the 8830 yet.

Complain about what? You're not being denied anything that you've paid for. You're not being misled. You're not being scammed. You're not being "baited and switched". You have no basis for your complaint.
Overall, I think you're misunderstanding the issue here.
People are unhappy that they have a device with a GPS receiver in it that is disabled. Those that bought the device with the impression that it was active simply didn't do their homework.
If you disagree with VZW's decision to cripple the GPS... then voice your displeasure by switching to another carrier.
