GPS???
I'm very close to sending the phone back to Verizon. If I can get the GPS to work, without VZ Nav. Just GPS using satellites, I may keep it. The phone is fairly slow, especially starting the browser. Anybody know how to use the GPS? I have Google Maps, but still can't figure out how to use the internal GPS...

I was not able to test that this works as I was in the store and could not pick up any satelites, but this is how you would do it.
Under the settings for WM there is an icon labeled GPS. This allows you to set the port that the GPS will be accessed through. The easiest way to get this to work is to make check the box that allows Windows Mobile to manage GPS connections.
Then under the Google Maps program, there is an option to use GPS. There is also an options menu that you can select to connect to the GPS via Windows management. It should then try to pick up the satelites. (This is as far as I was able to make it)

I have to say that I have no answer on this one. Depending on who you speak with at Verizon, they will tell you that it will work and that it wont work. I was on a chat with a tech support rep, and he said in the begining of the conversation that there is no way it will work. At the end of the conversation, he was sure that it will work.
Verizon seems to know nothing about this phone. Their own website even says that the phone has 128 MB of RAM which is wrong. Anyways Verizon has their head up their ass. i am buying the Sprint version and then porting it over to Verizon. There are directions on PPCgeeks.com
