I thought I read somewhere that vzw does not use true gps. What I mean is that I thought they I read somewhere that they use some sort of data from the phone which is then sent to the towers to calculate your position. So they make is seem like your phone has gps when it doesn't really have it. Especially since some of their phones are really small and fitting a decent gps receiver in a package that size would be tough.
I can see where gps on the phone would be great, but the flip side is would you want the man to be able to track you?
I think the rrason vzw doesn't offer the dervice is because they can't yet, after all vzw is the money making machine.
Perhaps a vzw tech comment.
