I was wondering why the Verizon supplied phone has the Livetracker app when according to SkyLab, Verizon does not enable GPS so this app can work? I purchased the MobileTracker app before I realized that this is an issue. Here is the response I got from the software app vendor.
Unfortunately, Verizon deactivated the built-in GPS receiver by default. For a monthly fee they may be able to activate it like they do with the 8703e.
But once the built-in GPS is activated it will work like on the 8800. Alternatively, you can purchase a Bluetooth GPS receiver, pair that device to your BlackBerry and Spot will also work with that.

Verizon should inform their customers that this is the case. Does anyone know what this means by a monthly fee?
