I've been looking around online for an answer to this and it seems to be hit
and miss.
Does Verizon lock down GPS in their phones and force you to use their ten
dollar service if you want GPS? I know Verizon has a history of doing such
things, this will be a deal breaker if so, looks like sprint
YES!

MY Q9C has GPS but I have to buy a card plug in to make what I have

Verizon is real good about dictating what you can and cannot do with
your phones.

I saw msgs on the net about verizon having some phones with unlocked gps and

If sprint works for you go for it.
The only reason I am hooked on Verizon is they are the only ones with

In some areas another carrier has as good or better coverage.
You must take that into account.

ATT has their own paid nav system for WM phones but when I was using
my Q9h, I used Google Maps or Live Search since they both can use the
phone's GPS chip. The only thing missing was turn-by-turn that would
update automatically like the iPhone or a dedicated unit. I had to do

I'll use google maps most likely, I'm not in that big of need for turn by
turn, just something to let me know where I need to be. I probably won't
use GPS that much, but the fact that verizon locks you out unless you pay
extra just gets under my skin. And really..I wasn't too keen on going back
