Your argument about Verizon turning off GPS is meritless. It was never turned on to begin with.
Closed minded? You're the one who won't see this situation from the other side of the fence. You still feel you're entitled to something, when you're not.
There is no US law that requires all phones to have GPS NAVIGATION capabilities. Phones must have location based services, for emergency use only. Whether this is handled by GPS, or ground based tower triangulation for E911 services... it's only necessary for emergency use. NOT for Navigation. Sure, the 8830 DOES HAVE GPS capabilities, but only enabled for emergency use on Verizon's network. This is their choice, and their right.
Be angry. Write letters. Call your lawyers. Whatever. You're wasting your time, and everyone elses with this nonsensical drivel that gets posted here for no other reason than to stir an already cooked pot.

I think an intelligent, logical person would have to then ask themselves, why advertise something that is a lawful standard, such as GPS used solely for emergency purposes? Why don't they include in the advertisement "with computer chips" or "uses battery for energy"?? The reason is because these are "assumed variables" since the phone could not work as intended without them. Since GPS for emergency purposes is mandatory, a cell phone can not be used without it in the USA. This is where a logical person would then question whether or not the entity selling this phone could be involved in suspicious or detrimentally deceptive advertising tactics.
This is obviously a hot issue as congress is getting together next month and are looking to create legislature that would have control and oversight accomplished on the federal level rather than on the state utilities level.
