i think it's a complete rip off how Verizon attempts to nickel and dime me at every turn. i refuse to pay $9.99 a month for something i probably wont even use all that often, especially when the phone is already equipped to do it for free from the start. On Verizon we get the same phones as other carriers but they are almost always month's late, more expensive, full of bugs and glitches, and with less features. i guess that's the price you pay for "the network".

so you're pissed because you ahve to pay for something you don't use?

just like damned near everything else - if you don't need it, don't get it. if don't get it, you don't have to pay for it. this is not particle physics... it's not that difficult to understand.

and the reason there's a charge is because people will use it, and people will pay for it. you say you won't pay for it because you won't use it, yet I can almost guarantee that the moment you see it's free you won't hesitate to download and use it.

@Tra la la
People are angry because these phones come with a built in FREE GPS receiver...and verizon is intentionally blocking this feature and force the consumer to use its own GPS nevigation system for $9.99/mo.
