I don't consider myself stupid (but I suppose neither to most stupid people
). However, I simply don't know enough about how GPS tracking is implemented in smartphones to know what is BS and what is not.
The fact that the new Q has GPS enable
could mean that Verizon is simply blowing smoke up our a$$ regarding the 8830 - or it could simply mean that the Q simply has a different (and more "secure" per Verizon's security standards) implementation of GPS tracking.
So the $64000 question becomes "If you're doing this because of security concerns, why is GPS enabled on the new Motorola Q?" The OP didn't ask this question because s/he presumably didn't know about the new Q. If anyone here can ask someone "in the know" at Verizon this question, I'd LOVE to hear the answer.
