I am new to the world of Blackberrys so please forgive me if these are dumb questions. I want to get the 8703e but really want the GPS functional. I am committed to Verizon for a number of reasons and obviously the GPS is currently disabled on their version. Is there a hack to get it working on Verizon's version of the device? Is there a difference in the hardware between Verizon's device and Sprints that would preclude any kind of programming from activating the functionality? Is is possible to install Sprint's version of the os and get the full gps functionality while using the device on Verizons network? Will Verizon allow me to activate a device I bought from Sprint on their network? I know I could get a bluetooth gps reciever and get it working but I would rather not do that. Any information available is greatly appreciated as I am working to learn more about these devices.
